Yesterday I was able to help the UCP office in Eau Claire for a change. I assisted with getting some of the more current news up on the site. It felt good to be able to help them with all they have done for Christina, Angela, and me.

Lots more going on, but don't want to go into details now.

Today I need to get the last of the laundry put away and a quick check on email before going to pick up Christina. I am so glad when she is here. Tossing the idea around of taking her to see the planes. The airshow is this weekend. Christina is a fan of the Blue Angels flying overhead.

Last year, Angela and I were worried that Christina would 'freak' out when they flew close to the house. In an attempt to prepare Christina, I took her outside where we could see the planes fly by and the noise was much louder. As it turned out, Christina loved it. So Angela took her outside again later when they started flying by again and I took pictures.

Here it comes........... zzzzzooooooooooommmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm :)

Another Thursday and it went well. Christina and I had a busy morning. We had a couple of meetings and Christina showed off. She is so cute and fun.

This afternoon we played outside a lot. Christina was a little sick yesterday so we took it easy. Lots of breaks and plenty of fluids.

I had the chance to see the moon shining down just right on the river tonight and it was beautiful. The moon is almost full and the river looked peaceful. Kinda relaxing just looking at it. I needed that. I still haven't decided if I like a full moon better or a new moon. Each has its place.

Also trying to decide on a date/time for Christina's birthday party. Leaning towards Saturday and early afternoon. Nothing fancy, small, and cake.

The day went by fast, already late. Gonna call it a night in a few.

It was hot this weekend. I turned the air on Sunday morning and very glad I did.

Saturday Christina and I went to the Mom Show with Haley, Jaycie, and Kassidy. Christina entertained them with her singing on the way there.

Christina and I went for a walk on Saturday and stopped at a couple of thrift sales. Christina met the neighbor kids this weekend and she had lots of smiles for them. We played with them on Sunday running and kicking the a ball. I am getting too old to run.

Christina did super well with everything we did: walking, using the gait trainer, in the Kid Cart, socializing. She is growing up so fast.

What a good day for a stop at Dairy Queen. It hit the spot.

What a warm day. Almost turned the air on. Gonna see if I make it through the weekend with the air. I get a good breeze coming through. Christina's room and my room stay cooler than I expected.

I was going to go through the pictures, but I'm feeling lazy. It was a busy day. Time for bed.

Cheers!!!

The weekend went wonderful. We had beautiful weather all weekend and Christina and I were able to spend lots of time outside. Sunblock weather it is.

Saturday morning Christina and I headed for the Kademan Family breakfast. We picked up grandpa, Julie, and Marilyn. Hope you are feeling better Don. Christina did excellent on the way there. She even was turning to look at Marilyn and listen to the conversation Marilyn and Julie were having. It was cute. And to add to how proud I am, it was the first time Christina had anyone in the back with her. Christina ate super well as usual. She played with grandpa and walked well for him. Christina also showed off how well she knows the alphabet. Christina said individual goodbyes when we left and had smiles for all.

Saturday afternoon grandma Kar came to visit. Christina was pleased to show our singing talents. And she wonderful walking in the yard. Thank you grandma Kar for the kitchen items and gas can.

Sunday Christina and I went to the park. We had a blast going down the slide. I still fit, yea me. Pam and Jake came to watch. Christina was giggly and wanted to show them how well she walks in the sand. Grandma Kar also came to watch, she even treated to ice cream. Yum, Christina ate most of it of course.

And, I even got the lawn mowed this weekend.

It was a fun weekend. Miss you Christina.
