JDRF walk, state gymnastics meet, and canoeing

Its been a busy but fun weekend. Saturday morning we participated in the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation walk, helping to raise money for a cure. Saturday night was Morgan's state gymnastics meet (9.0 on vault--6th place, and 9th all around) and today the kids, Petey and I went over to Tampa and we rented canoes and explored a portion of the Hillsborough river. Zoom in to see the gator, we didnt go closer.... These pictures were salvaged from my camera, which ended up IN the river, along with me!!!! Camera drying out as we speak, we shall see if that works.......Mikey continues to improve every day. Attaching pictures!!

time for an update

Mikey went to Cleveland with Tommy and Lynne to visit with Omi. They left last Wed. and returned Saturday last weekend. From what I hear Mikey had a good time, including a night on the town with Saburo (thanks Sabby!!). Saturday night was a quiet night at home, and on Sunday we got some housework done, then met Brian at the mall and did some shopping and walking around. Sunday night Sabrina came and visited Mikey. She brought "Buttercup" her teacup Chihuahua puppy. Petey (our dog) was slightly territorial about her food, but very curious nonetheless about Buttercup. Mikey had a therapy session Monday and the therapist tells us after this Friday (tomorrow) she will be discharging Mikey. She gave him a test naming various pictures and he did really well. She gave him the same test at the beginning of therapy and he only got about half or them right, and even then it was with hints, like "it starts with a b, you ride it" etc.....for bicycle. This time he only missed a couple. In June we begin another insurance policy year, so we may be starting again then, we shall see..............

Happy Easter

Morgan is in NC visiting Jennifer Rick Jake and Olivia so its been quieter than usual around here. Not having to go to the gym has freed up our evenings, and the weather has been so pretty. We have been taking Petey to the park, and she absolutely loves her daily squirrell hunts. The gators are out too. Today we spotted 3. Mikey pointed out 2 HUGE gars in the shallows, and there was a big old turtle sunning himself in the weeds. Here is a picture I took of Mikey with Petey today. Yesterday Irelan and Ian were here, so we celebrated Easter a day early. Mikey was very helpful hiding the eggs for the boys. Later today we are headed to the airport to pick up Morgan
