It's been a long time since my last post. Being a mom of 3 certainly keeps me busy! This summer was fun, but still crazy. Swimming lessons and basketball for Jillian kept us on a regular routine. Now with the end of summer, we are back to "school" mode. Jillian and Bethany are both in the mom's morning out program this year. Jillian of course is an old pro! She loves it. Bethany is doing well - slowly getting used to it. Ben, 6 months now, is just about crawling. He's trying so hard. It won't be long now.<br /><br />Something exciting: We are on YouTube! Well, mostly Bethany. It's her montage for the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida Buddy Walk. Check it out: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF7fQoxAI5Q">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nF7fQoxAI5Q</a> I'm pretty proud of it for my first time!<br /><br />Well, we're now looking forward to a busy fall. Visits from family, the Buddy Walk, Jillian's b-day, a trip to Magic Kingdome, ballet & tap (Jillian), soccer (Jillian) and more. Hopefully I'll get some rest in about 18 years! <br /><br />Wishing you all health, happiness and many blessings!<br />BeckiUnknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545644127726265911.post-65491268132652974332009-05-29T22:20:00.000-07:002009-05-29T22:38:10.389-07:00Long Time No Post!Hi Friends and Family!<br /><br />It's been so long since we've been on here! Just wanted to give a quick update, and loads of photos! We've been busy in the Samaan household this past year. Bethany had a very exciting first birthday party and lots of fun. Summer brought a visit from family (Becki's brother, Chris; sister-in-law Angel, and nieces Kaylynn & Melanie). We went to the theme parks a few times and had a lot of fun. We were also visited by Becki's brother, Joe and his girlfriend Laura as well as Becki's parents. October was a busy month. Our 2nd Down Syndrome of Central Florida Buddy Walk was a big success and a lot of fun. A special thanks to all of our supporters! We also celebrated Jillian's 3rd birthday with a costume party. Halloween brought a smashing end to the month with trick or treating in the neighborhood! We prepared for Christmas in December with a few visits to Santa and celebrated quietly at home on Christmas morning! <br /><br />The big event in 2009 was the arrival of our son, Benjamin Peter on February 20th. We are thrilled to have him in the family and are adjusting to life with 3 children. The girls are great with him and love to play mommy! We had a quiet Easter, which we celebrated with Becki's dad and John's mom. Bethany just turned 2 and has proudly taken the title, "trouble maker." <br /><br />Now we are preparing for Ben's upcoming baptism and eagerly awaiting a visit from Becki's mom and John's brother! We're looking forward to a fun and relaxing summer too! We hope all is well with you and wish many blessings to come!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-545644127726265911.post-55226084452304154922008-04-02T21:54:00.000-07:002008-04-02T22:14:03.851-07:00Spring 2008Ok. So I'm not as good at keeping this updated as I had hoped. It's been a rough winter for us. I think the girls have been sick more than they've been well. Due to chronic ear infections, Bethany had tubes placed in her ears in early January. She recovered from the surgery with ease and was back to herself in no time. Still, less than a month later, another ear infection. At least it cleared up quicker.<br /><br />Bethany is working very hard in her speech and physical therapy sessions, as well as early intervention. She is finally sitting unsupported and starting to assume quadruped (hands and knees). Her main mode of trasportation around the living room floor is via rolling. She also has started clapping and is drinking from a straw. I'm so proud of her! We're working on finger feeding and tolerating more solids - I hope she can have cake for her b-day (just around the corner).<br /><br />Jillian is almost 2 & 1/2 and has been developing in leaps and bounds. She speaks in complete sentences (sometimes too much). Her latest faves are singing and dancing. She especially loves to sing into a "microphone." She has many friends and loves playing with kids her age. She is not shy among other kids! She will be starting "school" in a mom's day out program in a few months. We are both really excited, but I'm sure it will be tough at first (probably more so for me). I am also very proud of her.<br /><br />Nothing new to report with John and I. John's practice is still going well, and business is steady. I am still not working, and plan to keep it that way. I keep extremely busy with the girls. We have been pretty involved with the Down Syndrome Association of Central Florida. It's been a good support and there are so many good people there.<br /><br />Well, that's about it. Back to the grind. I hope all is well with you and your families.
