She is Me

........................................................................................And Me is She

A Glorious Accomplishment!

Sarah finally pedals her bike all by herself! She has had this bike for 4 years and after all these years of pushing her...pushing....her feet rotating round and round...and round and round..and again and again...with my huffing and puffing behind her....push Sarah! push Sarah!....and then it happened.....she pushed down with her right foot...and around the wheels went. She did it again and around they went again and she was off! Down the street she flew with me running behind. Me...running after my daughter...who is riding a bike.....all by herself. Amazing.

Sarah is patient

As our family has been so busy this last month with celebrations, Sarah has taken a back seat. But she is doing very well. She stayed home with aunt Ali while we went to DC and stayed home with her godmother Lisa while we attended John's ceremony. Since disruptions in her daily routine are hard for her I was braced for some fussiness or whining. However, she did fine. She is learning to tolerate more changes, her flexibility is increasing and her sense of humor is a blessing.

John's Day Begins

It was a HOT, HOT, HUMID DAY here on Cape Cod. Especially for the graduates who were cloaked in the hot outer robes over dress clothes. A beautiful blue sky prevailed with only the tiniest breeze. All went as planned, only one person fainted and everyone received their diplomas. YAY!
