Monday Night Football!! And other things!:)

So what have we been up to! Well, the highlight of the last few weeks for me was when we won tickets to watch the Seahawks play the Lions on Monday night! FEAT, the organization that runs Adam's school, has 4 tickets that they give away to every Seahawks home game (well, actually the tickets belong to the GM of the Seahawks, John and Traci Schneider - they are very involved in the Autism community because their son has Autism). I always enter but I never win because everyone comes out of the woodwork to enter to win these tickets. This time they only included the names of families that had kids at RSA so our odds shot right up to 1 in 14! Still a good chance we wouldn't get them, but by some miracle we DID get them!! So exciting!! Our friends Jaqui and Joey came with us and we had such a great time at the game. What a great experience!

I feel like Adam has really come along the last few weeks! He is starting to respond a lot more to questions and I swear I had a conversation with him the other day (I posted it on Facebook, basically he asked for '10 more minutes' in the tub when I came to see if he wanted to get out, it was pretty cool!). He can go for months without showing a ton of improvement, but then he can show lots of improvement in a short time! One of his favorite teachers, one that has been there from the beginning, had her last day at RSA today which is very sad for all of us:(. I'm glad he has learned to work with the other teachers, as I think it will mean he will miss Kimberly a bit less (he'll still miss her, though!).

Lynsey starts piano lessons next week! We'll see how it goes! She also passed Level 3 in swimming so she is on to Level 4 - a lot more lane swimming. She continues to be interested in getting better so maybe we have finally found her "thing"! I'm not holding my breath, it has only been a month!

We did our family pictures last weekend! The weather was beautiful, but Adam was not in the best of moods:(. He was very difficult to manage and we were a bit flustered and didn't get all the pictures we wanted. They turned out pretty good, though - I am always amazed that there are some good ones after what feels like such a chaotic photo shoot!

Just for fun: Nathan is turning into quite the dude. We have been trying to enforce no Lego in the van (you can imagine why this has caused us some issues!) but Nathan is trying hard to sneak it in there! I caught him bringing one of his guys into the van today and he says, "Mom trust me, I will leave it in my cup holder. I promise!" Well if a 3 year old tells you to trust him, what choice do you have, right?? Lol! He is growing up pretty fast! He still lets me snuggle him a lot which I love, he truly is my baby<3.
