Mini-van

Well, we bought a mini-van. Now we'll be able to haul Grace's Standing Dani around, which will be a good thing. We also got a loaner ramp this week, and eventually we'll purchase one. The ramp we have is one that folds out, so it's pretty convenient for travel. We're definitely excited to be able to take Grace to places such as the mall and let her cruise around in her Dani. She's pretty much been confined to our home, with a couple exceptions when Grandpa and Grandma were around with their van--and we think she'll love some open spaces.

Spring

Grace and her parents looking forward to spring finally getting here. It's been a long, long winter. The next item on our to-do list is to buy a mini-van and get a vehicle ramp to allow us to haul Grace's Dani around. Hopefully we'll get this accomplished in the next couple weeks.

Grace had a really good therapy appointment this past week. Her therapist was saying over the last couple months that she seemed a little weaker, but this past week she did really well. She cruised by herself to get things, and she's been doing that at home as well. We're trying to keep her standing (either at the end table in our living room or in her Dani) as much as possible.

We're planning on Grace riding horses again this spring, and she's still going to her swimming once a week. She's missed the last few weeks of her music class, mostly because her mom was taking her to her daddy's basketball games on those same nights. Now that hoops season is over, she should be able to get to that on a more regular basis--which is a good thing, becuase she loves that class.
