Even with the heat there is no stopping Christina. She wanted to go outside despite the hot and humid weather.

When Christina had walked enough she wanted up and to go for a shoulder ride. Christina had walked so well and made me proud. How could I say no.

I'm sure we were hilarious after we got back. Both of us wet from sweat and sticky. It was interesting getting Christina off my shoulders. She was laughing and squirming as she was stuck to my neck. The more I struggled the more Christina laughed. A peek in the mirror did look funny.

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.

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.
