Fast Forward 4 1/2 months...

I really must find time to blog at home!  This is ridiculous, it's as if all we do is come to Kansas City for therapy, which is were we are again!  
Let me quickly catch you up...

After Will and I left "the gym" for the last session in October, we hit the road for home.  Only we made a quick stop in Grain Valley, MO to pick up the newest member of our family!  
  
   Miss Ivy

Isn't she just the cutest!  Will and I secretly got to pick her out during our last stay.  It worked out perfectly to bring her home.  The best part was the surprise.  Ben and Isabel had no idea!  Iz has been begging for a dog for months and even did some rather impressive research.  Ivy is a Goldendoodle, a breed that is supposed to be the best of Golden Retrievers and Poodles.  Ivy is a mini, so she won't get as big as either of those breeds. 

She has turned out to be a great pet so far!  Ivy is very friendly and fairly laid back, for a puppy.  She played hard with Ben and Isabel but gave Will plenty of time to warm up to her.  We just love her!

Moving on, obviously several months have passed.  We had a wonderful Christmas.  We had a chance to spend some time with all of our family, except for Phil's niece who is in South Korea teaching English to schoolchildren.  We miss you Kylee!  

Since then we have had plenty of snow.  I think EVERYONE is ready for Spring!  I'm hoping by the time Will and I get back home there will be signs of Spring...we'll see.

So that pretty much brings us to present day, minus a ton of details!  I would love to take more time to fill you in on all of our happenings, but then I will get behind on present day details.  So time to move on...

The Final Week! A fun filled weekend with family and dives 27 &28

Happy Monday!  It's week 3.  We're almost finished.  Will is ready to go home.  He is missing his Daddy, (and he just saw him yesterday!). Phil and the kids came in Friday night and stayed until yesterday afternoon.  We filled the weekend with as much as we could!  Two movies (me and big kids), 3 dives (Will and his daddy), indoor skydiving (Ben and Isabel), and church (together!)!  Together again!  My kiddos!  Will's waving to the camera! All the happy divers...Phil, Grandma Linda, Mason (front and center!) Josie and Will! I had a fun surprise for Ben and Isabel!  Indoor Skydiving!  They LOVED it!  Score one for MOM!  It was fun to watch.  Will said he's going to do it next time!  I might just try it too!   They take you out once to let you figure it out and then give you a second flight to go much higher! The first video shows Isabel's first flight, the instructor said sh...

Hello Friday!!! Dives 36 and 37

Dive 36- Josie and Will.  Started the day with another dose and oxygen and Mickey Mouse! Our last solo workout in Miss Tiffany's gym.  We skipped the yoga today and went right for the stairs.  Will grabbed his canes and some friends and got started.  As he was walking it occurred to me how often I took for granted when Ben and Isabel went walking across the floor with toys in their hands.  Just think about that for a minute...then watch this video! He carried Mario and Luigi to the stairs.  I carried them up the stairs and then he proceeded to throw them down.  Typical kiddo! After getting hurled down the stairs now poor Mario has to be thrown in a hoop!  Poor guy! He threw all of Mario's friends in the basket too.   Then he made his way across the room to leave Miss Tiffany one last message.  He made it about halfway when he fell, but you know Will, he got right up and finished the job! I think Will enjoy...

Week 3, Tuesday, Dives 29 & 30

Dive 29- Mr. Will and Josie.  Mickey Mouse, our morning ritual! After the dive Will headed over to Miss Tiffany's gym.  I guess we'll stick around, he likes working in there!  He basically set the whole day up, I only added one thing!  He started himself on the stairs.  I just stood back and filmed! Rock on , Mr. Will! This next thing I added.  The next time you get up from sitting (in a chair for example) think about what all goes into that. I think this will be something he could master when we come back this summer!  By the way, Miss Tiffany will be back for that one!   Back to Will's plan.  He didn't want me to video him getting into position but I thought it showed a lot of good work on Will's part.  Pulling yourself on a scooter is an amazing workout!   Now for the "real" video.  Will set up all the pins and now he is kicking them over, according to his plan!
