      • Pumpkin Day!
        10/31/07
        On Tuesday Rachel got to help with her jack o'lantern. Kari drew out shapes that Rachel could choose to use for the eyes, nose, and mouth and then when I got home I drew them onto the pumpkin and cut it out. I'll take pictures of the kids tonight and will be sure to get one of Rachel wit

      • Library, School and Shopping
        10/29/07
        It's been such nice weather out that we took another walk down to the library to pick out books. Hudson, Kari, and I were picking them out and our bag was very heavy when we left! (It was a long walk back up the hill, oof!)
        Today Rachel had her Halloween party at school and she was a w

      • Tummy Time
        10/25/07
        Rachel loves laying on her stomach. If a little pillow is placed under one of her shoulders, it tilts her just enough to make sure her trach isn't blocked in any way. Yesterday Kari had Rachel on her tummy and when she went to turn her back onto her back Rachel kept her legs bent in a 90 degr

      • Depot
        10/21/07
        Saturday we met our friends Brooke and Austin and their kids at the Depot. The Children's Museum wasn't as cool as it used to be. Shoes? Really? Bring back the castle, costumes, and hobby horses! I don't know what they were thinking. Anyway, when we got to the Train museum there

        10/17/07
        Rachel didn't want to work very hard yesterday so when it was time for her to be in the stander she yawned as if she was tired. Kari could tell she was faking and told Rachel she knew what she was up to. Rachel grinned and thought it was a great joke. She did it again when she was supposed t

      • My Tobii
        10/10/07
        The My Tobii is a computer that has a touch screen. There are small cameras in the bottom of the frame of the screen that determine what Rachel is looking at on the screen, allowing her to "push" the buttons on the screen using her eye gazes. When she looks at a picture on the screen, we

      • Crazy week
        10/09/07
        Sorry about being so bad about updating. The usual stuff is going on, nothing super new. It's just all happening at once so I've been bad about uploading photos. Today we're going to UMD to work with the speech therapy clinic on seeing if Rachel will be able to use a My Tobii. It&

      • Busy Monday
        10/01/07
        Rachel was so excited to go to school today! She was smiling and talking up a storm. Now they're sending letters home with the kids with all the activities for the day. Rachel shows up after breakfast so I'll start from there:

        We practiced our "Good Morning&qu

      • Weekend
        10/01/07
        This weekend wasn't too exciting. Luke went to the Cities for a conference and stopped at IKEA and brought back a new dresser for Rachel. It has seven drawers and is a little bit bigger than her old one. In the beginning I was teasing her that she was going to need to go clothes shopping to
