Our Two Weeks

Doctors – Bella to GI – she has lost too much weight, add calories, Bella to ortho surgeon to get her cast off – she wasn’t impressed, Brother to ENT – tubes.

Jason and I went and watched Becca Lynn doing pointe.  Looks painful and graceful all at the same time.                                     Temple for me!!

Visiting the pet shop – such a great idea.  We get to see lots of animals and the girls love it!

YW for these two weeks – Mia Maids did meal planning and Beehives played with hair, combined trip to the temple – my favorite!

Becca is feeling time pressing on her.  She is trying to do things with her sisters.

  • The girls run and got yogurt                                                       
  • Becca and Sammi and their smoothie run

Jessi and Sammi have been working on a Personal Progress goal for planning and preparing two weeks worth of meals.  I love it!  They make the menu and the grocery list.  They go shopping and they cook.  What isn’t to love about this?

Asia posted a craft idea of Facebook for the girls to try.  It was fun!

I think this is called a Back Attitude or something like that.  I thought she said a Bad Attitude the first time I heard it :)                            Joy and her drawings

Our sweet boy – how I love this little guy!  He is doing great!  Sometimes, though, something happens that kills me as I realize he can’t see something.  I would seriously give my right arm if it meant he could have his sight back.  What a precious gift was taken from him.  I have been reminded in several articles I have read recently that he is not just my son, but God’s and He has a plan for Alex.

These crazy girls – during therapy we heard peals of laughter falling down the stairs.  What?  They were playing cars – racing them under the doors between Becca and Lizzy’s rooms.

Protective extensions to the rear – they are almost mastered!

National Ice Cream Day!!  (Alex likes chocolate!!)

Becca asked me to get creative with her heir – two words that don’t describe me – creative and hair!  Oh well, backwards french braids on the bottom and then she put the top pony into a bun.

Becca pulled all of her favorite picture books out and we had story hour.  Sweet hour.

The girls played Headbanz, Disney version.  Tons of laughing.  So much it set Bella off, but everyone else had a ton of fun!

A sweet girl at church made this hat for this stuffed animal and gave them as a gift to Joy – she loves it!  Rollerblading (aka.. how to skin your knee really fast!)

IMG_5757IMG_5765

Bella’s biological Grandmother sent her two pop up books while she recovers – so very kind!

Joy and Bella playing with the flashlight in the closet.

PT – work begins with those legs.   Our computer died a bit ago and Jason patched it together for me.  But sadly, it finally had to be replaced.  :(  This is the final shut down for the old computer.
