It has been humid out here. Way too thick for me. Ready for fall and maybe even winter.

Cut the front lawn last night. I waited until it cooled off a little, but wow still warm. And that was at 20:00.

I'll finish the back this morning I think. We're at 100% humidity so I am not in any rush.

Went for a ride yesterday afternoon. Pedaling in the heat was not comfortable. I have become spoiled in my old age.

Carmen Kademan

Talked to my little sister Carmen yesterday. It is always nice to chat and catch up on current events. Gotta get the funkster in the conversation also. Thank you for calling Carmen.

Made it almost the whole summer without getting sick. Christina now has the sniffles. And a lot of drainage. Poor little princess.

I think being sick has increased her tone and made therapy a little less fun. Christina is a trooper though and still worked hard.

I am so proud of Christina. She has been doing super well in therapy, both physical therapy and swim therapy. Christina is an inspiration to work hard no matter what.

Lots of comments also on how beautiful, pretty, and adorable Christina is.

We have been walking a lot outside. Trips to the store with the Kid Walk are taking a bit to get used to. Christina really thinks it is neat to go shopping and walk around. Can't hang a bag on the Kid Walk like I can on the wheelchair.

Been upgrading the blog code and getting the settings of the old blog matched on the new. Harder than I figured.

Need another cup of coffee. And maybe a break.

Working on Christina's also.

Christina has continued her desire to go go go. She wants to walk in her Kid Walk a lot and can cover quite a bit of ground. I don't measure by blocks anymore, she is past that. Now I track time and trying to measure mile(s).

Christina has been working hard in therapy. I am so proud of her.

Carmen was in town yesterday and it was great to see her again. Funky said "Hi" and gave hugs.

It has been a long time since I updated. So, what is new, let's see.

Christina has had an osteotomy. I will get her blog updated with the Caring Bridge posts also.

I moved into a single story house. Big backyard.

Work is the same. I have not spent as much time on the computer as I used to. I still try to keep up on OS's, security, etc, but it takes so much time and can get depressing watching/listening to the security news.

More later, maybe. lol

Christina was a very good sport and posed for a few pictures for me.

We have pictures of Christina and Daddy telling stories, going for wagon rides. Christina's swim therapy and horseback riding therapy. Christina and Grandma playing with blocks. And catching some poses of Christina.

Slideshow uploaded June 4, 2013.

Christina making cookies, reading with Dad, kisses from Nilla. Looking pretty in her dress, loving the wagon ride, posing on our walk. Cleaning the blood from the latest lost tooth, showing off new hole in her mouth. Telling stories and giving Dad a drink from new water bladder.

Christina lost another tooth on Saturday. I didn't know it was loose until shortly before supper munching on rhubarb. After we ate Christina used the rag to pull that loose tooth until it came out.

Once I realized what she was up to and how loose that tooth was I grabbed the camera. I was too late, she had it out. I didn't see the tooth and tried to figure out if she swallowed it. I would ask her to spit it out and she just laughed with the blood dripping from her mouth. Since she was pulling on the rag so hard I checked the floor thinking maybe it flew. Finally, looking under Christina I found it. It had fallen straight down and past the tray between her legs and slid back so she was on it.

Christina was excited for the tooth fairy to come.
