I’m back! Man, it’s been a while. Since a real post, that is.

Work conference
It’s done! Man, what a relief. I have literally been planning this conference for over 4 years. We almost had a few debacles (like, I didn’t get a priest for the closing mass until about 3 hours before it was supposed to start) but it’s over and people seemed to enjoy it and get a lot out of it, blah blah blah. (For anyone who doesn’t know, I work for the IT department of the Archdiocese here and we were hosting a conference for other diocesan IT people.)

The boys
Are 18 months old!!!

And are v cute. 🙂

My friend’s husband
My friend Alicia’s husband is doing better. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, even. It’s been a pretty big deal locally, because he’s a pretty prominent chef, so he’s been on the news and stuff. It’s good for me because now Alicia’s keeping a blog about his condition. I haven’t talked to her personally since it all happened. I wish I could. Next Sunday is the benefit at the Ritz for him. I wonder if she’ll be there. I hope so.

Random stuff
Coldplay is Tuesday night! So excited.

The boys were finally observed by their speech therapist (next step is actually scheduling the therapy) last Tuesday and she called me with her observations. Of course, I was in the midst of conference stuff, so I don’t remember everything she said, but she does want me to work on signing with them. First one will be “more”, which they’re pretty good at. Well, they do the sign when I say “more”, but I’m not sure they understand what it means yet. Also, she said their receptive communication (or something like that) is good, meaning when we say something to them, they understand us, but their, um, the other kind of communication (where they try to tell us things) is what they need work on.

I’m really not all that worried about their speech, but it’s good to know we’ll get some help with it.

Okay, back to work for me. I have a ton of catching up to do!
