Well we had another good couple weeks. We went to the zoo again had new family pictures again last Sunday....thank to Willow's Photography!!! Here is a sample...
That night after the girls went to bed, Carol and I were talking and both realized that she hadn't used her wheelchair at all that day....the first time in a year and a half I guess:)

So nice early fall weekend. Made it to the zoo, right before all the rain started on Friday. Crazy that we had a tornado in town tonight that tore some stuff up. Hope everyone is allright. We are all doing well!!

Carol just got the birthday voicequilt and we are listening to what is going to take a long time to get through the 4 cd's of messages. Many, many thanks for the thoughts, which have provoked laughs, tears, and the funny laugh that apparently everyone knows Carol by:)!! Thanks everyone...priceless.

Carol wanted me to post that she walked around the block, pushing Safiya in the stroller....with our wonderful nannies guidance!! We had an exciting weekend in the tri-cities seeing the inlaws. Very nice weather and a 50th wedding anniversary for one of Carol's uncles. Talk soon!!

Well lots of more firsts for us in the last couple weeks. Carol got the courage to get into the bath for the first time with Safiya. Well it started out just with Chloe, but I couldn't help it and through Safiya in. It was a huge bubble bath, lot of funny pictures, I am not allowed to post. Safiya is saying lots of little words, and has learned how to kiss people. Chloe is saying lots of 8 word sentences, and isn't afraid to use them. As fall approaches Chloe will start swim lessons, continue some basic music classes, and she has asked to learn how to dance all on her own. We also have to decide if/where preschool will be in her future. Safiya has also started some of the kindermusic classes. Carol will be deciding in the coming days when to have her next needed surgery, and has started wondering about some more cosmetic surgeries available to her if any. Thanks for all the support and friendships, and dinners, and everything.

My sister Erin, just showed me the blog of a gal I have heard of alot, but honestly haven't had the time to really look into...the woman from Utah that everyone knows and comments from the cjanerun blog....wow what a story. I have been reading through it this morning in my spare moments. Striking how all of this ha been going on with my family a different tragedy happens to another, but sort of in reading her blog are dealing with very similiar (yet different) issues. Anyway, cheers to your walk up the "y"!! You look great!
