December

Here is my one picture of Thanksgiving this year. Aundrea and Italia singing, it was a lot of fun!
("Esta es nuestra unica foto del dia de gracias. Aundrea y Italia cantando, nos divertimos un monton").

" Betsy y Aundrea"

"Italia y Bryson"

" Seth y Jen"

" La dos Hermosas"

" Karen y Coquito"

" El Templo de Salt Lake City"

" La Familia de Autumn"

"Scott, Josh, Amy"

For Thanksgiving this year, Betsy came home. It was so much fun to see her and play. We went to see the lights one night she was here. Seth and Jenn were also here. We rode the train, and we all cold. But it was so much fun to spend time with family over the holidays.
(" Para el dia de gracias este ano, Betsy vino de visita desde Canada, fue un placer compartir con ella. Fuimos a ver la luces de Navidad en el Templo de Salt Lake, mi hermano Seth y su prometida tambien stuvieron alli, De regreso tomamos el metro y nos estabamos muriendonos de frio, pero los ninos disfrutaron el paseo").

" Dia de unas a que los chinitos"

Aundrea haciendose las unas

We went to the Ballet to watch the Nutcracker this year, Karen and I took Italia to get there nails done, and then we got all dressed up and met up with everyone to watch the ballet. Aundrea did really good, and she liked it. I noticed 3/4 of the way through she was done. But for a 5 year old, I think that it was good.

"Aundrea and Autumn fueron al teatro a ver el casca nuezes", "The nutcraker "

" La anestecia lo dejo un poquito mareado"

"Que me van hacer los locos estos, a ver que hago pa dejar el pelero"

" Coquito, siempre haciendo de las suya, estaba jugando en el apartamento, perdio el control de alguna manera y le pego a la mesa del televisor, lo llevamos de emergencia y le tuvieron que poner cinco puntos, casi pierde el diente del tiro, los doctores estaban asombrado con la tranquilidad de Nelson por que en nigun momento se desespero y lo pudieron asistir sin problemas".

Nelson had to have stitches again. He got 5 this time. He was running and fell on the TV stand again. We were really lucky and when we got to the room, How to Train Your Dragon was on and so we got to watch the whole thing and not to long after it was over we got to go home. I took his stitches out at home and that was fun, maybe its worth the hour it takes to get them out!

"Coquito hechando una zorrita"

I took this picture of Nelson, I think its so cute that he sleeps with his arms up like he is just chillaxin. It makes me laugh so hard. But he sleeps like this almost every night.
"Aubree nose queda atras y le sigue los pasos muy cercas a su hermana mayor, Tan bella la gorda"

This is a picture of Aubree from when we went to see the lights. She looks so cute! So far December has been very busy, but with finals over for both Nelson and I we can breath for a bit. I decided since I have a month before school started again that I need to concentrate on loosing weight. I have started the Atkins diet. I started a blog for it, as my journal, but I like reading my sisters blog about her weight loss, and it helps me stay motivated, so I have decided that I will let people know about it and if you want to read it then feel free. Its www.autumnsatkins@blogspot.com.
We also found out that Nelson most likely has whats called childhood apraxia of speech. Its very hard to diagnose, but his speech therapist yesterday told me she is almost sure that he does. This makes speech hard for him, his brain doesn't communicate with his tongue on how its suppose to work. The treatment is speech therapy. I don't know if we will start more frequent therapy than we are doing, but that is the question that I have for the therapist. Nelson will be in therapy working on his issues for a year or two. So we really hope that insurance will start to help pay for his therapy!
