We survived City's slumber party, only 3 came and 2 spent the nite. Our house was a whirl of giggles and whispers. They ate 3 pizzas, lots of cake, drank coke and stayed up until 3 am. It was a exhausting first slumber party for mom. It took me back to the days I was a summer coordinator at Nazareth Academy.
Can you believe its Saturday again! Wasn't it just Monday. Man, the weeks are just flying by--to summer I hope! Had a lot of snow flurries and warmer weather. Warm for Alaska anyway, yesterday it was 9 above. :)
Alej seems to have mastered his wheel chair, when he wants to go he does! But if he is even a little cranky its up to us to push him. He has learned in little than two weeks how to reverse and take corners. My eyes have been opened to how many business are barely ADA approved. We have such a hard time going in and out of everywhere - mostly the snow makes it hard to plow through with the wheel chair. Then his hands get wet if his gloves fall off. It's all too much at times but we keep going. Good news is with all his standing therapy he has finally started to grow. He is slimming out and out growing his clothes, he was wearing 12-18mths and it looks like he will finally move up.
Mateo had a super week, made a 100% on his spelling test and was generally a great help. He is always so eager to help
Alej out or me with lifting the wheel chair in and out of the car. He is really turning out to be a character-he makes us laugh
ALOT. This picture is a prime example.
He is starting to grow again so he is super thin. I try to feed him all the time but no luck. Yes, that is his UT jersey from Christmas...he wears it 3-4 times a week. I have to steal it from his room while he sleeps and wash and get the funk out.
We-the
parents got to have DATE NIGHT for the first time in never. A great couple we know volunteered to watch all 3!!! We were so excited we didn't even know how or what to do. In the end we went to see TAKEN, it was a great movie but for all of you who have lived overseas it make you nervous for your daughters. We had a great time only thing is we are not used to being "up" so late that we were exhausted by the time we got out of the movie. Our friends - who are fellow Texans offered to have them stay the night next time.
Ummm...sounds like a good idea. We shall see. Have a great weekend all! We are off to the museum-its having an open house today--which means FREE!
Skiing if the weather warms up and family game time. :) Oh and my 2 cram sessions of working-out and burning tons of calories before Mondays weigh in.
grrrrrr. :(
The grill in the backyard, we needed to dig our way to it for lunch!
