End of the year fishing trip with NMSBVI

Well its that time again end of the school year is upon us and we are so very sad to have to leave the best school ever! Amy will now be moving on to first grade in the public school system. Amy is our bright and shinning star and I know she will Bless people where ever she goes!

Amy with Big Brother

Spring at last!

Its spring time once again and we are more then ready for it. Its been some time since Ive blogged and we have so much going on. Amy is about to graduate from Kindergarten and I'm not sure I'm ready for that, things are moving way to fast for me. Amy has been attending a feeding clinic the past few months and seems to be doing better with her eating, the Therapist are so wonderful with her. The Carrillo family will be planning a trip to Salt Lake City soon for Amy's by-annual appointment to see her neurosurgeon that's always fun! It has been a big blessing that Amy has only had a few falls this year and only one trip to the ER, with no serious injury's. I will blog more later.

January???

OK its already January where did the time go? Thanksgiving came and went Christmas came and went New Years here and gone. We are starting this new year out with a good attitude, life is short we must not worry about what the future holds. Worry does not empty tomorrow of its sorrow; it empties today of its strength."
— Corrie Ten Boom I love this! Happy New Year to all. Amy is doing well she still loves school very much and is picking up on sign language very well it seem its as if its her way of making others understand her, I think I need to learn it my self.

First Day of Kindergarten

Today was Amy's first day of Kindergarten,although she has been attending NMSBVI for the past two years today is still her first day of Kindergarten. The New Mexico School for the Blind and Visual Impaired has the most wonderful and caring Teachers and Therapists, I will truly be sad when the time comes for Amy to go to the first grade which means another school.

Amy's eye appointment

Amy went for her annual eye exam with Dr. Goldblum today. The appointment was almost three and a half hours long, wow!! even though, Amy was such a good girl. Her vision hasn't changed much since last year but I think were going to try glasses again.

Baking

Amy and her sister are baking.

Amy is being a ham!

our weekend trip

WOW! our first summer trip, to the beautiful sipapu ski area in New Mexico, The boys had a Trials competition last weekend. It was so nice to be out doors. Amy always loves going camping,we plan on doing lots of it to, as long as we can be together as a family we are happy as can be. Here are a few pictures of my boys Charles the oldest and William my youngest son.

Last Day of School!

This is what I call fun!!! Amy attends the New Mexico School for the Blind and Visually Impaired and they had a water Olympic Day on the last day of school. Amy loves the water, it seems like once she gets in there is no getting her out.I know that Amy is going to miss all of her Teachers and friends.

My new water table

Its been quite a few weeks since Ive updated Amy's blog, time has just passed us by. The school year is almost coming to an end. New Mexico is already getting pretty hot, so we got Amy a new water table and she is having a blast. Amy will be home for a few weeks then she will start summer school, she'll be going two days a week. We are looking forward to summer camping, Amy is getting a new special stroller just in time for all the outdoor activities. Amy is doing so good in her communication, she is using her words well. We will keep the blog updated as much as we can.
