Student of the Week

G was student of the week for her class in early December. She was recongnized at an all school assembly where an older student read a page of interview questions she had answered. Here she is in front of the whole school.

And here is what was read about her. (If you click the picture it will get bigger and more readable.)

The Dog

So I realized I have posted about the dog since we got her back in July. Wow did we luck out. She is a great addition to our family and has been so easy to train and housebreak. She is six-months-old now and gets bigger every day. She loves to go run with me and it is so nice to have company. We go down in the valley and she runs and plays while I just run. I didn't really think I would enjoy a dog at this point in my life but I was wrong. She is really a great companion, watch dog, and family member.

Mera and her Towel

Mera's speech is coming right along and one of her favorite words is "towel." She takes showers with me on a regular basis and every time we get out she is over at the cabinet saying "tow"(she leaves of the "el"). If I don't get her one of these awesome princess towels Nanue got us, she has a little fit. I then have to put the towel on her so she can prance around the house and show everyone her "tow."

TSHA Christmas Party 2011

Each year TSHA (click here to learn more) has an awesome Holiday party for the kids with hearing loss and kids of families with members who have a hearing loss. This was our second year attending and it was so fun. Georgia sat on Santa's lap willingly for the first time in her life. Here they are signing "I love you."

They have crafts for the kids and treats to eat.

And here is Georgia and the audiologists who diagnosed her hearing loss. We love her!

Bed Time

We have been having some bed time growing pains but I will talk more about that at another time. Here is Daddy doing bed time stories.

It is a group activity.
