Update After Hiatus

Boy, oh boy! It's been a long time since I've written on here.  Life has been crazy busy and it's left me too tired to write. 
First on my update I'll start with the most recent.  I finally got Raven to see a developmental pediatrician to try to diagnose Raven on her development behaviorally and what not.  My mom with with us and I'm really glad she did.  Basically Raven falls within the Autism spectrum disorder.  But to be sure, I have to take her to another clinic where she's going to interact with a Therapist and a speech pathologist.  They'll be able to make the diagnosis more definite.  The doctor also suggested with summer camp or school to help with Raven's talking and social skills.  So all in all, I'm one step closer to helping my daughter better herself.
We moved from the Engel Terrace Apartments to a trailer home that Bobby's parent and Grandpa used to rent.  The bills in this town are outrageous. they overcharge for pretty much all utilities.  But we're managing thanks to Bobby's business skills.  Right now, I'm looking for another place to rent for us.  Also I'm trying to decide if I want to try to find a job or stay at home with the kids.  It's hard because on one hand we really need the money.  On the other, we don't have a lot of people we trust to watch Luke and then both kids when Raven gets home from school.  It's not that I don't want to work it's just I trust a small group of people to care for my babies.
Speaking of kids, I've already talked about Raven now I"ll talk about Luke.  Lucas is almost 9 months old at the time I'm writing this.  He's crawling around everywhere.  He looks all around him and gets into everything.  He's got like 4 teeth in and more on the way.  He's sitting up on his own with little difficulty.  He goes from sitting to standing really easily.  And if he falls down he doesn't cry. So he's developing and growing so good. He loves playing with his big sister and he climbs on my like a little monkey all the time.  It makes my difficult pregnancy with him worth it.  To see him growing so well and doing so good developmentally.
I'm trying not to get stressed out about our wedding. but it's coming up soon and there's so much to do.   I know it's more than 6 months away but it'll be here before we know it.
That's all for now.  I don't think I left anything out. Until next time.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!
