Look who is walking!

I got little Ms. Cal on video today walking! We are so proud!


Happy Easter!

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny stopped by last night and left a little something for Cam and Cal. The kiddos got up and were immediately on the hunt for their Easter baskets and also for all the eggs that the bunny left! They had a great time and ate a ton of candy...before 9 am! Then we went overr to Grandpa's house becuase the Easter Bunny left some eggies over there too! So the kiddos got to hunt for eggs twice! After our egg hunts, we went over to Carrie, Randy, Ri, Alana, and Gannon's house for lunch and fun! It was a great day!

Never settle for the path of least resistance...

"You learn to persevere when you start every race a lap behind. You understand that attitude is all, and a good one is all that matters."
Calleigh is walking...we are beside ourselves with joy and excitement. She has proved to everyone that she can do it and I truly believe that she has known all along that she could and would do everything we never expected her to do. Here is the email that her PT, Dana, sent me today when she walked at therapy...
Cassie,
I hope little miss Calleigh showed you her skill she did for me today.... I am sure your mom told you all about it. Calleigh was walking up a storm in therapy! She saw some little boys playing with a puzzle (I guess she wanted it) and pranced her little self over to them! She took 10+ consecutive steps about 10 times in a row (in control) and she only stopped because she had reached her destination. I am telling you Cassie, that girl is so close to running around everywhere. She is just stubborn and wants to do it when she wants to do it. Where did she get that? Anyways, I just wanted to drop you a quick email and tell you how proud I am of her and I hope she showed off for you today when you got home from work. Go Cal! I can't wait to see her next week :-)

You say it's your birthday....!!!

Today is Cal's birthday and in true tradition...she is not feeling to hot!! So today my Mom brought her and some cupcakes to my classroom so that my kiddos could sing to her and help her celebrate and then we had dinner at home and celebrated with a web cam with Daddy, a Tinkerbell cake, and some presents! She got lots of art supplies, Tinkerbell bedding, and a backpack and lunchbox with her name on it for school tomorrow! She was so happy! Here are a few pictures!








Happy 3rd Birthday Calleigh Francessca!!!

I feel so honored everyday to get to be the mother of such a wonderful and determined little girl. I know that God chose me for a reason and I am not sure that I could ever thank him enough. When Calleigh was diagnosed with 4p-, her doctor gave us the worse case scenario as he had never worked with a child with such a diagnosis. It was not good...they never thought she would live this long. Here she is....three years old today and achieving amazing things everyday of her life. She is working very hard on walking, she is starting elementary school tomorrow...PPCD (Preschool Program for Children with Disabilities) at Mountain View, she is learning so many new signs and using them more and more. She accomplishes great things in her PT, OT and ST sessions and we could not be prouder. She is an inspiration to me; her fighting spirit and her drive to be an individual inspire me to strive to be my best as well. Thank you Calleigh for being who you are....we love you so much and our lives would not be what they are today without you.
XOXO
Mommy, Daddy, Cameron and Caden
