A little piece of heaven

We are still having boatloads of fun! We’ve been to Universal Studios, the Orange County Fair, all sorts of shopping, for walks at the park, swims at our pool, and more. It’s been great having our wonderful Chilean friends with us! Here are a few pics of our adventures. Now that my hands are busy with Belle, I am a photo slacker. But you get the idea 😉

I’m sorry I haven’t been able to update much. Between hanging out with friends and working I haven’t had much spare time. Work’s been busy lately and every spare moment we’re out and about. I have several post ideas, I’ll list them here so I don’t forget: Nathan playing on the Ipad, Our Proloquo2Go setup, Orthopedic Update, ABR and Head Control update, A day in Nathan’s life, Conversations with Nathan. I’ll try and do at least one or two of them this week! Hope everyone is doing well!

A few people have emailed asking what apps we are using for Nathan in the IPAD. Here’s our list (if you click on the pictures you’ll be taken to a page with a larger image so you can actually read the names):

Nathan gets bored pretty fast so in one “playing” session he’ll typically go through at least 5 or 6 apps. Some of his favorites are Wheels on the Bus, Magic Piano, I hear Ewe, the books (Toy Story, Shrek, How to train my dragon), plus he enjoys most of the flash card apps.

I would love it if you could share some of your favorite apps!

4 years ago we were told not to expect 1 breath from you. We were told you’d be born dead and if you lived we’d experience nothing but regret and sorrow. Oh how wrong they were! I wonder how many breaths you’ve taken by now? And every one of your breaths we are so grateful for.

Thank you for defying all odds. Thank you for bringing such joy to our lives. Thank you for being the greatest teacher we’ve ever had. Thank you for spreading happiness to all who meet and know you. Thank you for your example of serenity, strength, and grace.

Happy 4th birthday my Nathan, I hope this is just another of many many many more years to come! We love you so much, you are perfect in our eyes, and we wouldn’t change a thing about our lives with you.
