ski day!

kaitlyn, matt, grandpa, abby, hayden, holly, helmuth, sue and i had agreat ski day yesterday at crystal.  the harness worked great with kaitlyn, by the end of the day she was really making some good turns on her own.  matt started the day leaning all his weight on whoever he was skiing with but ended by only using us for balance and keeping his weight on his skiis. 

matt is 3!

Matt had a fun 3rd birthday with sister, daddy and grandma - by the time i got home from work he was tired and just wanted to be pushed in the swing - then promptly fell aspleep (see bottom pic).  the day after bday was more eventful.  matt had his first day of preschool (he loves his new backpack and did great at school) and was thrilled when he got home with mom and grandma to discover that dad, abby, hayden, grandpa and judy were there to throw him a surprise party!

ot/st

I haven't blogged much about Matt's therapy, but i got some pictures recently of a joint occupational therapy/speech therapy session and wanted to put them up.  amanda (OT) and jen(ST) have been great for matt.  

great wolf lodge

i forgot to bring the camera to our mini-vacation at the great wolf lodge - but snagged a few pictures from jeff. the kids had a ball and over two days spent 12 hours in the waterpark! matt slept for 14 hours when we went home.
