The 4-legged & 2-legged McGowins are doing well. Samantha, Seth, & I have taken a few trips this fall; one to Seabrook Island for a two-day beach trip and one trip to Chapel Hill, NC, for a wedding. Samantha got to be the flower girl. She was soooo cute. Unfortunately, I was too busy making sure Seth didn't pull the table clothes of the tables, knock dishes over, eat/touch all the food, drown in the nearby creek, etc., and did NOT take a picture of Samantha. We got to visit with friends in Chapel Hill and with friends in Columbia, SC while on our voyages. Samantha is enjoying her art-based preschool and Seth is jumping into the routine of taking his coat off and "pumping his hands" (sanitizing) upon arrival at Samantha's school. He is always sad when I rip him away from the cars and blocks in order to leave. Seth & I attend Kindermusik and he gets a visit from a special friend weekly. His special friend is actually a speech therapist. He may have apraxia of speech, but it is a bit too early to tell. In the meantime, we are working on basic sounds and combining sounds to form words. Samantha dressed up as Sleeping Beauty and Seth dressed up as a bear!!
