Wow ... it's been a while

So here's the truth, I lost the password to get into Blogspot and have changed e-mail carriers so it's be a big old mess trying to retrieve it.  Well, I have it now and I am back on track!  How to summarize a year in teh life of the Jacobs' family?  Bullet points it is then:

• Zoey has started first grade and she is kicking butt and taking names.  She's in advanced math and she just loves learning
• Zoey participated in cheer-leading for the first time with a group of girls from the neighborhood
  
  
  
• Josh & Zoey have attended 2 Father-Daughter dances with the Girl Scouts (a masquerade theme and a candyland theme).  They had wonderful times together

• Zoey's been on 2 soccer teams ... The Sharks and now The Kicks
  
  
  
• Zoey got her Yellow and Orange belts in Taw Kwon Do
  
  
  
• Riley went from crawling to walking (yes, she used this easel as a make shift walker)
  
  
  
• We attended another 22q day at the zoo to help promote awareness and to meet some of the other families I've been communicating with on-line.  We have another one coming on on Sunday May 19th
  
  
• Riley had ear tubes put in - which was quite the experience and resulted in us spending the entire day in the hospital.  And just this past Friday Riley was back at CHOA to have part of her adenoids taken out and her teeth looked at.  Unfortunately they ended up taking out 4 of her bottom teeth due to the tooth decay reaching all the way down to the roots.  Dr. Thomas told us that it was no big deal, that other kids he's worked on with 22q by Riley's age (2 1/2) usually have upwards of 16 teeth either treated or pulled.  Of course I cried ... it was probably harder on her than her.  By Saturday she was almost 100% better and kicking butt & taking names again
  
  

I will try my hardest now that I have retrieved the password to be better at sharing events, but I can't promise anything!
