What has been keeping us sooooo busy????

As many of you know, my mom had a stroke on our trip home from Disney. In actuality, she probably suffered one while we were at Disneyland, but we didn't know. She spent a week at Mt Hood Hospital, and then almost a month at Good Samaritan at the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon. While at RIO she received intense therapy.
She came home at the first of 2010 and has been re cooperating at home. My dad has been her primary care giver, and he has us to help him as well as home health.
Now that she is able to move both legs they are hoping to transport her to out - patient therapy very soon.
Our hope is that mom will recover totally and be able to return to her normal lifestyle. Only time will tell. We are really proud of her and the hard work she has put in thus far.

Playing Catch Up!

Thanksgiving at Disneyland seems like such a long time ago...but we had a wonderful time together!
There was a fun snow day for Ricky, Amanda and Rob. Some how this photo was the only one that turned out...the rest is video. Ricky had never been to the mountian to play and ski & snow baord before.
There was Christmas and some of the fun activities we dd. Like helping Ricky make this gingerbread train for his birth mom.
Amanda made the Freshman Basketball team! Yeah #54! She is learning tons and becoming quite buff!
