All Moved In, Some Great News, Everything Falling into Place

Well we are all moved in. The kids are handling the transition well. I thought Alex would have a tough time but he is doing so great. He loves having his own room again. I really like it here, it is so peaceful that at times I forget that I am living in a bigger city.
I got a call yesterday from Alex's case worker. He was on the waitlist for the state funded ABA therapy since July 2008 and I was told that it would take 2 years to get off the waitlist. Last time I talked to his case worker which was May or April, I was told that it was going to be ATLEAST another year. But I got a call yesterday stating that he is off the waitlist as of the 19th. I was almost in tears. School, occupational therapy and speech therapy have done wonders for him and I can't wait to see what ABA therapy will do for him. He has come such a far way in the past year and a half, It has been just great. He will be recieving 20 hours a week, which will only add stress to our already hectic schedule but it will be well worth it.
They come into the home so atleast I won't have to trudge both boys out into the winter weather to get to therapy so that is a plus. AAAHHHH I am so excited that Alex will have the opportunity to have ABA therapy.
