missing Chelsea

Avery loves Chelsea but...not necessarily all the time :) Avery talks about Chelsea when she is not here and can't wait to see her but when she gets here it is another story. So this is Avery telling me about missing Chelsea!

A new bike

Avery was ready for an upgrade..so off to Wal-Mart we went and she picked a Dora bike!

Happy as can be with her big girl bike

Summer fun!

We have had an amazing summer so far. Avery is able to do almost everything and it is amazing! Last year Avery was still pretty weak and we didn't feel like she was up for a constant on the go all the time lifestyle..so we didn't!

A week off

We took a week off from therapy. The week of July 15-19..what a treat! WOW it has been amazing not to have to go. Don't get me wrong I know it is best for her and I wouldn't have it any other way but it does get exhausting. We went to Mom and Dad's cottage for a night and Ohio for a day. Avery did amazing. She was jumping off the boat at the cottage and swimming everywhere. And in OH she was such a big girl in her little floating tube just being as big and brave as ever. It was fun!

Floating all by herself on the deep end

Infusions have been going great. Chelsea is amazing like always and always gets her IV with one poke!   Daddy was home for the June 7 infusion and I got a little break and had lunch with Kelly..aka Nolan's mom and Sagebrush! What a treat! Avery usually sleeps but didn't sleep on that day because her daddy was here! SHE LOVED having him here and didn't want anything to do with me:) I was ok with it!lol We still just watch movies and eat junk food for most of the time. She almost always takes a long nap which is great!
