I've been slow to update the blog - as you can see from a pile of updates in short succession. Here are some videos that I've been posting to YouTube, but haven't linked here. They all fall into the "Alexis is cute" and working hard! She's a punk. She's doing a lot of new things and being a really great kid.
Maybe some of the videos look kind of boring, sorry about that - sometimes I get a little video happy with Alexis!
Alexis checking out the iRobot. I love it. It cleans up so much stuff, who knew we had so much on our floors.
Alexis and Jessica typical interaction :)
Alexis yelling about something over breakfast. Everyone who has seen this says she sounds just like me in work meetings!!!!
Alexis studying Chopin.
Alexis working hard at the stairs.... and being a punk.
Alexis and her PT giggling-- supposed to be working hard.
Alexis going over a curb with her walker. Make sure you catch how she goes down!!!
Alexis doing 'fast running' with her PT.
Obviously from a colder day - but Alexis and Jessica in their car. They love it!
It's hard to believe that my parents have been married for 50 years. But I guess if my brother is 6 years older than I am and I'm 40 - then it is possible!
In April, Mom and Dad invited tons of family and friends and we had a delightful celebration. It's rare that we (kids) are all together. We had a fun time!
These are photos of Alexis in Pinehurst-- smiling in the sun!
This summer has gone by so quickly. Most New England summer fly by as we don't usually melt our snow until April. This year has been surprisingly dry and the rain we have received has been at night or a few sporadic days. It means that we've been able to get out and about on weekends and enjoy more parts of New England. Or in some cases - going to Chicago for CHARGE Syndrome Foundation Conference.
