It's been a while since we've had time to update the blog since our last adventure which was our trip to florida in november last year. So here's some catching up of what's been going on since then...

Thursday was Arianna's last day as a second grader. I'm SO proud of how much she's grown and learned this past school year. Next year in 3rd grade she will be independantly in her general education classroom about 90% of her day - this is g...reat for her and she's made some great little friends who she will get to spend time with over summer break. If you would've asked me even 2 years ago if I thought she would have this much improvement and independance, I'd think you were crazy! But to actually SEE all that she is able to do on her own now makes me crazy with happy tears for her. I love you Arianna Rose! ♥

Last month we also got to spend an entire day at a carnival that was in town. Last year Arianna wasn't too thrilled with carnival rides but this year - WOW did she have a blast! After about 5 or 6 hours of roller coaster, ferris wheel, spinning and twirling rides, the hang-glider ride and many others I was tired out! Arianna fell asleep in about 5 minutes that night after all this excitement. She is so much fun to be with and really enjoys all the events she gets to experience this past year.

 

 

 

Arianna got to have a fun Hello Kitty birthday party for her 8th birthday this year. She really enjoyed having her friends over to play with her and celebrate with us all.

We look forward to lots of fun activities through the summer vacation. Arianna will be at summer daycare camp and gets to go on allot of field trips to different places like the zoo, cj barrymores for putt putt golfing, a karate place, parks and more.

In July we'll be getting in 4 sessions of hyperbaric while I'm off work week of the 4th of July. Hoping for a little more healing while we can get some visits in.

Enjoy your summer everyone!!
