Amazingly enough things are going pretty well. Sebastian started speech lessons at the hospital to help him speak better. Sierra starts counseling this week to help her deal with her anxiety/grief/confusion. Ernest and I have not had a chance to connect as husband and wife in a while since bedtime has been rough with the kids and we really have not had a break in a while. But we'll get through this I'm sure. Sierra is also in summer school to help her iwth her reading. That has been very convenient as I take her to school right before work and my dad picks her up and drops her off at my place where the babysitter watches Sebastian in the mornings. So he only ends up babysitting both for one hour.
Yesterday we took the kids to Northwest Trek. It's 400+ acres of open range for animals. They have a tram that takes one for an hour showing of the animals out in the open. The kids loved it! Then, they has some animals in cages, like a zoo, to look at. It was a long drive to get there, but very rewarding. We hope to return to Seattle in a couple weeks to go to the zoo and aquarium and possibly the science center.
