Rowan stayed at the School for the Deaf until 3rd grade. He now attends the same school as Colleen. With the help of his one-on-one Para (who knows sign language) and his ability to read lips, he is doing very well. He is a B Student and loves his teacher Ms. Henderson. Colleen isn't as crazy about her teacher, Mr. Allen, but she's managing to keep her grades at Bs and Cs. Both kids are still interested in athletics. Rowan has become quite a good Pitcher. He can stay very focussed because the sounds of the crowd don't bother him at all. His lack of hearing has effected his ability to compete well in other team sports though. He has recently taken up Golf with Victor and loves it. Him and Charlie, who also transfered to public school (but not in Rowan class this year) are still best friends and take turns having sleep overs almost every weekend. Rowan even has a "girlfriend" named Lindsey. Colleen plays on a softball, soccer and basketball team. She loves sports. Her and Abigail stopped hanging around in 2nd grade (Abigail is more "girly" and they didn't have a lot in common anymore). She now has a best friend named Taylor who lives one street over. Margot is in 3rd grade. She loves school! Well, the social aspect of it at least. She's quite the social butterfly and is always getting into trouble because of it. She has a large group of friends, by Hailee is her best friend (Hailee lives next door). Because she's more interested in socializing her grades have suffered and she's in danger of needing to go to Summer School. Sarah has stared Kindy this year and loves it. Like Margot, she is very "girly" and very social. She adores her sister Margot and wants to do everything she does. They both take dance class and Margot has started Piano lessons (so of course Sarah wants to also). Our latest joy, Graham Vaughn, was born two month ago. Rowan was THRILLED to finally have a brother. We had wanted to find out the sex before he was born, but he didn't cooperate, and boy was that a stressful 9 months because Rowan was ready to "run away FOREVER!" if it was another girl. He has fit right into the family easily. All the kids adjusted well to his arrival. He is a very good baby who can just "go with the flow". Unfortunatlay Carys had Gestational Diabetes again with this pregnancy and this time it hasn't gone away. She was officially diagnosed as a Type 2 Diabetic. The whole family has started eating much healthier now, following Mom's Diabetic Diet with her (not like they have a lot of choice, because she does all the cooking LOL ). The kids have been BEGGING AND BEGGING for a pet for a while now. Rowan and Colleen wanted a dog and Margot wanted a cat (so of course Sarah wanted a cat too). After much discussion it was decided to get a dog AND a cat. Much to the kids excitement. First and adorable black male kitten was adopted from the shelter. Margot and Sarah named him Midnight. Then the family went to a breeder and got a male Border Collie pup, figuring there was already plenty of energy in the family so a little more wouldn't matter. Rowan and Colleen named him Jake.Victor and Carys decided after Carys was diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes that they should not have any more biological children. Victor has an appointment for a vasectomy next month. They have decided to keep the possibility of adopting in the future open though.
