Both Natalie are doing some learning this summer. She's learning more sight words and I am learning how to be more patient with her and myself. Also, today I decided that I may try cooking more. Spur of the moment tonight I decided to try a new recipe for dinner and to my surprise it was easy and turned out great! Look at that Anna-I know that you're impressed!
My grandma recently told me that she definitely has the most beautiful great grandchildren ever. Oh, and according to her she's not biased at all. Clearly, she's not wrong. Just look at these three cuties...
On Sunday morning Natalie and I met our friends Annie, Aron, Ella, and Luke for breakfast at the Golden Nugget. Natalie and Aron had a great time being silly together. For the whole series of pictures see Anna's blog.
Summer session of Hippotherapy started tonight. Natalie and her favorite horse Shorty B get to spend time together every Thursday night for the next 2 months. It's going to be cool to see Natalie use her Talker in this setting. More updates on this in the coming weeks.
I am mom to Natalie Elizabeth, a strong and feisty 8 year old born, along with her twin brother Andrew John, nearly 17 weeks early on 9/2/06. Andrew passed away on 9/4/06 and Natalie spent 110 days in the NICU. As a result of her premature birth she has Cerebral Palsy. Despite her challenges, she is constantly doing new and amazing things and surprising everyone!
