Let’s see….. here are some photos from April of this year!
Jordan at the Shriner’s Orthopedist where we learned he has hip displaysia. MRI is this Thursday.
Where the girls are now taking classes once a week!
Anna and Maggie are taking elective classes once a week at a local program. We just started and I think we’ll keep it up next year. Anna’s taking art, American Girl history, a nature class and lego physics! Maggie is taking piano, art, gardening and legos. Twice now, I have been able to just drop them off and go next door and volunteer in Jordan’s classroom. I love volunteering in there!
This is the OHSU CDRC “gym” in Portland. Jordan was here for a wheelchair appointment. He still benefits from being in a stroller at times (so he doesn’t run into traffic, helps him go with us even when he’s tired, keeps him safe, etc.) . Anyway, we haven’t heard yet if the wheelchair will be covered by insurance, but if it is, we’ll be getting one! I’m excited! (Large stroller-wheelchairs are expensive!)
I love what my kids get up to when they do things on their own.
I consider this my most successful day in the entire year of homeschooling. There were no books. We went to the park, went on a 3-mile hike and practiced good attitudes, kind behavior, learned about how rocks turn smoother in the water, identified plants and generally had a good day.
Anna took things a step further and made rubbings of many kinds of leaves.
These goofballs have sticks on their heads that are like antlers.
Goofy goofballs.
We took the meandering, climb on the rocks version of the hike.
And sat on all the benches. And played in the creek.
Back home…. this is what happens wherever there are heater vents on chilly mornings.
Oh.my.goodness.gracious. Maggie cracks me up! Maggie came downstairs shivering…. went to the living room and changed into her Princess Anna dress, then went and sat on the heater vent and went INSIDE the dress where it was warm. LOL
Random guinea pig picture. Or as Brian calls them, furry, squeaking potatoes.
