Rewind Time to July

I feel like July was just a few weeks ago....yet it's already mid-September!!  I've actually already posted about 3 of the main events from July - our family trip to Indiana, Drew and my 10-year anniversary to the Dominican Republic, and Grant's 4th birthday.  So you'll get a little break from all the LONG posts lately with just a few more pictures from the month of July.

Hannah's PT (Faye) invited us to an Ambucs event.  According to their website, Ambucs is a non-profit service organization consisting of a diverse group of men and women who are dedicated to creating mobility and independence for people with disabilities.  Basically they bring in a bunch of Amtryke bikes for the children to try and to also adapt and adjust to each child's specific needs.  You then get placed on a national wishlist.  I don't quite understand all the details, but I believe we can get one of these bikes for free once our name reaches the top of the wishlist; however, Faye is trying to organize a local Ambucs chapter where big local businesses donate time and money to getting these bikes for children in our country, which would mean Hannah would get a bike a lot sooner.  I believe we also can just purchase a bike if we didn't want to wait as long, but for now we're going to wait.  So here are some pictures from Hannah's bike "fitting."

Trying it out

She has a hard time holding on with her right hand because her right side is more affected than her left.

All smiles!

She loved it!  I'm hoping we'll be able to get one by the Spring, so she can "ride" her bike outside with the other kids.

We love going to La Comedia Dinner Theater each year with the kids.  Last year we saw Peter Pan, and this year it was Mary Poppins. As usual, we had a great time and the kids LOVED it, especially when Mary Poppins "flew" over their heads!

Of course we had to get a little milkshake during intermission.

Our first cucumber of the summer!

I had to include this because I thought it was sooo funny!!  Poor thing was trying to get comfortable enough to nap in the car. 

Hannah's first dentist appointment - all was good!  (Aunt Mary and Brian (Rudy) - I just noticed both your football teams are being represented in the background!)

Who doesn't love Froot Loops?!
