The photos I think will tell most of the story… There was as much walking the bike as there was riding the bike 🙂 I was quite impressed with her improvement from last year, especially since it was her first ride since. She can use her brakes well already, she was also [Read more]

When I finally got called in Mrs. Ormston had completely won Emeraude over ...and she (E) had no interest in accompanying me lol.

What a wonderful day! When we first arrived, I realized that the mittens Emeraude had werestill wet and Danile offered to come back to my (the kids) house and pick up a dry pair so Emeraude went along. I sat there for a while waiting before realizing this was my opportunity to go up on [Read more]

Last Tuesday, I had some chores to do before supper and suggested to Emeraude & Lloyd they read a book together. They found a nice book which included stickers to add to each page.  The stickers were not numbered in any way so after Lloyd read the page, Emeraude would be challenged to decide [Read more]

I was in pretty bad shape this morning but really wanted Emeraude to have some fun in spite of this… I went to the hospital as early as I could stand on my wobbly legs for an injection of pain meds and then the cab was picking us up to go to the family place [Read more]
