Virginia Beach

The Duzan family had a wonderful time at the beach... even if JT preferred looking out from the 11th floor balcony to sitting on the beach while Miss Audrey practically turned into a dolphin!

Here are a couple of pics from our awesome adventure:

Staycation

Our stay at home vacation has been wonderful... Relaxing, cleaning, taking the kids to do fun stuff... I can't believe how fast it's gone! The Hubs goes back to work Monday morning, and it'll be back to the daily grind again.
I'm still pretty bummed I didn't get to see my brother... But I know he understands, it's definitely not because I didn't want to be there... Because I was really looking forward to seeing him :(
I have my appointment Tuesday - it's coming up quickly, too. My regular doctor called and told me I can't wait until June, that the hospital will have to work something out with me. Sucks, but now it's starting to hurt bad enough I believe her. It's getting worse day-to-day, and comparing the size week to week is getting crazy... It's growing so fast.
Audrey and I are at the library... I overheard some people the next table over talking about how amazing it was that kids could work computers, and look at that little girl - she's got it all figured out and she's so young... How smart she is... I turned around, and they were pointing at Audrey! Made me smile :) My smart girl, indeed!
JT is napping at home with daddy. He was all played out. Wrestling with The Hubs has them tired by the end of the day... I'll miss that for sure when he goes back!
Onto some super-exciting news... I got offered an opportunity to write an article for Nike through one of my freelance sites!!! I am SO excited!
Now that we're well again, we're going to church (Emmanuel Presbyterian). We start a class at Vanderbilt for parents of kids with autism. It's Tuesday nights from 6:30-8:30pm. We really enjoyed the last class we took, so we're really looking forward to this one. It's so comfortable and fun to be with parents who truly *get* the weirdness of autism... And can laugh about it. It was an awesome experience.
I hope everyone is doing fantastic... We certainly have a lot of things looking up on our end!

Back from Vacation!

The Duzan family has returned from Delaware!

We spent 5 days (2 of them driving - it's 13 hours!) away, and even though we had tons of fun, we were ready to get back to our own beds.

I finally got to meet The Hubs's mom's family. They were all SO sweet. We did some really cool things, like going to the Aquarium in Camden, New Jersey, and to the beach about 20 minutes from Ocean City. It was really fun, the weather was gorgeous, and we enjoyed spending time with everyone. We wished we could have stayed longer (and shipped our beds in).

Here are some pics from our trip:

Me and Audrey at the Aquarium

The kids and me... The background is Philadelphia, right across from Camden, New Jersey (where we went to the Aquarium)

The Hubs and JT at the Beach

Possibly my favorite picture ever... Audrey teaching JT how to drink from a water fountain (he did it!!!)

We returned to our house to discover our air conditioning is not working, which really sucks! The internet was down, too, but luckily I got that fixed... Can't survive without that.


I got a sort of 'promotion' with Demand Studios, which rocks... I have 2 new kinds of articles I am approved to do, and I can claim more articles at a time.

All good on the home front... Back to the daily grind. JT starts 'school' this week at WAVES. He'll be going every week on Thursday from 9-11am.

Hope everyone is doing fabulous! Love ya!
