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.

Getting Amy to eat

Amy is sometimes hard to feed, she has always had trouble, its not her swallow its her chewing,Amy still has her g-tube in but we only use it for her seizure med's and sometimes liquid's.We now have a great chair that she sits in for meals, similar to the one she uses at school its great. This is Amy one morning before school reading her book waiting for her breakfast.Amy has come a long way in the feeding department, our next goal is to get her to feed herself for every meal.

H.U.G.S
