Alex has a party

She turns 3 in a few days

Picture time with my best friend

Sharing, sortof

Ok...so this is kinda long and maybe a little boring. But for those of you who haven't seen the dynamic between Alex and her little sister - this is pretty much how playtime goes.

Random beautiful picture

Alex's self-made documentary about-...well...something very important.

I think this video of Ryan needs no explanation. She would do this for hours if we let her (and we do).

Alex has wheels

Alex and Ryan are doing great (aside from the frequent UTIs for Alex) - and Nic & I are hangin' in there. It's a pretty tough time for us right now with Nic in nursing school. The accelerated program is kicking her butt - but she's doing well, and I'm spending a lot of time playing Mr. Mom.

A really exciting thing that has happened recently is Alex's new set of wheels. Our friends the Gaschlers were kind enough to give us their daughter Mackenzie's outgrown wheelchair - which fits Alex perfectly. She's still getting the hang of it, but she really likes it and is making some actual progress toward mobility for the first time. This video is from her 2nd time in the chair, so she's actually a little better at it now.
