Upcoming Event - June 14th

Dear Friends, Family and Colleagues –


We’d like to invite you to a benefit fundraiser for CHARGE Syndrome Foundation on Tuesday June 14, 2011 at the Chateau Restaurant in Andover.

The Chateau is donating 20% of purchases (either eat-in or take-out) any time during the day. Just email me and I'll send you the file to attach to the receipt. 
Between 4-9pm we plan to raffle off donated items including one pair of Patriots Preseason tickets and autographed Jed Lowrie baseball.

We have a Facebook page that we’ll update with information about the Event: http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=198417110191881

Thank you!

Alexis Bedtime OT/PT Activities

Warning - A 3 minute video. 
But showing some of Alexis' new found skills...
Pulling up on her crib rails and playing with the wall.
And being a silly little girl with the camera.  Wonderful bedtime moments.

April Happenings

Dressed and sort of ready for Easter Service...

Somewhat paying attention.... 

Somewhat tolerating more photos.... 

See how Matt is so well behaved, too bad his 3 children aren't paying any attention.... 

And then  2 weren't.... 

And now only 1 misbehaving... but still precious and cute...

Breakfast afterwards, a series of shots in about 30 seconds...

Our Easter morning - too bad I didn't get any pictures of my sister with the kids.  It was pretty hectic at church and Jessica obviously wanted breakfast quickly!!!
They were cute and somewhat well behaved.  Good thing their cuteness trumps their misbehaving.

School Vacation Week

In the last photo post, I did warn you that I'm out of order, right?

Over school vacation week, Alexis, Jessica, Noralea (my sister), Fionna (my niece) and I went roller skating with Eileen Lee's medically fragile group.  We got to skate / stroller on the hardwood for 2 hours.  Because I thought Alexis could "do it", we tried it.  She was walking / moving just fine, just very unsure of herself. 

She was much happier stroller-rolling :)

Lousy photos from my cell phone...

Jessica showing off her love of pink....

Alexis riding the carousel at Salem Mall.  She was having a great time!

Going Backwards in Time

Thanks to Cynthia for taking these wonderful photos.
If you are facebook friends and you have wandered through my profile, you've already seen these.  If not, you're seeing them for the first time..... Enjoy. 
We had a terrific time Easter Egg hunting at Brady's house!

Work Related - but not! Fantastic "HealWell" Product

I was browsing our corporate internet today and I found this link.
I am BLOWN away by the possibilities for hospitals as well as in our homes for kiddos with circadian rhythm problems.
I would love to help install this in every hospital room we ever go into, into every bedroom our kids sleep in, and make sure that our precious children get their good sleep! (and the parents too!)

Absolutely THRILLED with the possibilities of how we can improve the hospital experience!!!!
