A unicorn pillow pet
I think that is more than enough.  Those are just the things she has named this year, she would be happy with pretty much anything age appropriate :)

Correction

They suspect Joe has torn tendons, not ligaments.

I went to the doc and found out I have scoliosis that can be taken care of with physical therapy.
The kids love playing in the rain.  Please enjoy a few videos.

Surgery for Joe

Hi.  

 I just wanted to let everybody know that Joe has surgery scheduled for his shoulder on September 20th.  He has a torn ligament or two.  He will need to be in a sling for at least a month, possibly longer.  He will be out of work for two weeks and will not be able to do much for a while, but the pain should be gone, so it will be worth it.  Please send good wishes.  Love you and miss you all.

Hello World

I am taking a short break from my studies to thank you all for the wonderful gifts for Morgan's birthday and the gifts and cards sent for Easter for the girls.  Photos are up at photobucket.com/fischer.  The girls really loved their easter baskets. You may find this hard to beleive, but I let them have candy before breakfast.  They thought that was great too!   I will not get thank you notes out, as I have carpal tunnel in my left hand and tennis elbow in my right, I have major tests this week and finals next week.  Mom and John came to see us for Morgan's birthday, and the day they left Casey came to visit for a week.  Those visits were awesome!  We have been so busy!  The girls are doing very well at school and the staff is very, very impressed with them, and often take the time to tell us how amazing our children are!  We know!
Joe earned a medal for work he did in Korea!  It is so nice to be recognized, especially in his line of work. 
Morgan has her 2 year checkup Monday.  I will post after that!  I am sorry for the break in communication!  Thank you all again for the gifts!!  We love you and miss you!

Morgan's Birhtday

Here are some ideas!

She is wearing 2t-3t clothing and size 8 shoes. 
She likes
Batman
Dora and Diego
Yo Gaba Gaba
Thomas the Tank
Flowers and butterflies(on her clothing and to decorate her room)
She likes books and she is still into lift a flap books and ones that make noise.
She loves bubbles and play dough
When shopping for toys, please follow the age requirements closely.  She still takes toys apart and shoves them in orifices. 
Please do not go crazy with the toys, we regularly evaluate the excessive toy collection and sell and donate as needed.
If you are sending money, you may specify if you want us to take her shopping, or put it in her UTMA gift account, if you would like. 
A travel magna doodle is a great idea.
That is all I can think of.
Call, text, or email with any questions.

Michaela's Visit, June, and Morgan Potty Training

We will be in Ohio from June 24th to July 2nd.  Kelsey's party is on the 25th. 

Michaela's visit went well.  Driving with the girls for hours is never fun, but I am glad we went.  Michaela does not have any developmental disorders.  She does have sensory processing disorder(which we all know), but she also has some quirks that do not fall under any clinical diagnosis.  The doctor thinks she may have some anxiety, but will not put a psychiatric diagnosis like that on her at such a young age.  He wants an IQ test done ASAP.  He thinks she is probably above average and this could be causing some quirkiness.  He warned it could present as ADHD in the future.  It is my opinion, that in our school systems, a very high IQ itself could be a learning disability, or mistaken for one,  if it is unrecognized.   He could see that her physical therapy has brought her up to speed and wanted to add "social training" to her occupational therapy, since she does not enjoy interacting with children. 

Morgan is not exactly potty training, but she does use the potty almost every day once a day.   It is exciting that she is interested, but I do not feel like she is quite ready to go all the time.  We will take what we can get and not push it.  Such a big girl!  I cannot believe how time flies when you have little kids!
