Carolyn at her well visit was in the 50th percentile for her weight and the 70th percentile for her height. That’s pretty typical for her. 5 1/2 years old and about 42 pounds and 3’10”.
Maggie was in the 4th percentile for weight and 15th percentile for height. That is also pretty normal for her! But it means that at 8 1/2 years old, her sister is almost the same size. Maggie was 46 pounds and 4’1″.
I went to the playground with all the kids and without any other adults. The sunshine and Jordan’s energy levels demanded it. Thankfully, it was successful!
His sweet little hand. He wasn’t quite ready to let me get a great photo of them, but I still love this picture with his smiling face in the back.
Anna is 11 years old! A food friend came and spent the afternoon with her… and root beer floats and a few gifts, of course!
You’ll notice that Maggie has a hard time being still. No, she is not allowed to climb on the window. Yes, we had to tell her more than once.
Smiles.
Ordered and planted a few thornless blackberry plants! They’re going where one variety of blueberry plant is failing, so we don’t have new garden work to do.
This is what the blueberries look like just a month or two after spraying the weeds…. them thistles are amazing.
Thistles for days.
Anna prefers to ride my bike.
Carolyn will now ride her bike downhill on her own! (She says she cannot go uphill yet)
Park day! Jordan had to stay far away from people so that he didn’t get wound up from successfully throwing bark at them. Boys!
It was HOT in the sun!
Mom! Take a picture of me jumping off!
Daniel explored for awhile on his own.
Mom! Take a picture of me climbing up the outside!
There’s Jordan’s empty wheelchair.
Jordan really loves to swing. I pushed him for a long time.
It did my heart good to watch my girls take turns loving on Daniel and taking him exploring. They pushed his wheelchair around so he could go farther and faster.
Daniel only lasted a minute, but he smiled while he did!
Chalk time.
After awhile, Daniel started asking to “Now home?”
Big girl.
Handsome boy.
Beautiful.
Heart of hearts.
Me in a picture!
We sat in the grass and had snacks before going home.
Treasure.
Those are not his shoes. 😀
Cute!
I had to get a video of Daniel for health insurance showing him going over different surfaces, without help, through a doorway, etc. He was not happy about being put in his wheelchair…. see the 2 seconds of tantrum at the beginning? Then I told him where a cell phone (with games on it) was and he very happily went to get it! Motivation. haha
Ahhhh, warm sunny days!! Love the family pictures and family helping each other. Happy days ahead!!!
Enjoyed all the pictures. I put them in their folders. Thank you.
