Weekly Update

We had a very busy week this week! We saw some of our first snow flakes flying in Bend! With the snow came some cold temperatures - and a broken furnace! Thankfully, we found someone to quickly fix it!

Kelsey was scheduled to have her first "pool" therapy this week, but that was cancelled due to a cold she is getting over. Doing some swimming pool therapy is part of her preparation for Hippo (Horse) therapy. We will try again Monday. Kelsey also had her "Pre-Pre-School" this week at the Alyce Hatch center. I left her for the first time in the hands of the teachers (I was just down the hall in a parents room :-), and she did great! The ratio of the teaches to kids is usually about 4 to 6!!! I actually got very choked up peeking in on the class. Those women that are teachers for these special needs kids are just amazing human beings! They genuinely care for these kids, and maximize every second they have in the classroom to work with the children. I feel so incredibly grateful for them!


We had James's first parent teacher conference of the year this week as well - both teachers sung his praises (always great to hear!). He so enjoys school and is learning so much! He is still very quiet at school, but that is okay - it is probably why he is absorbing so much information - he is not chit chatting!
James's best little pal Colby, lost his precious Dog Jake to doggy Heaven this week. The other night at dinner, Mike and I were asking James where he thought Jake was. Keeping in mind the recent passing of our fish "Mo", he looked up at us and said, "Flushed down the toilet?"
