Zoo and other fun

The last few weeks have been busy. Kelsey had her first appt at Minnesota Children's Hospital regarding speech. Her results are back and she falls in the 6% range for her age and her score was 75, range for her age was 85-115. So what does that mean? She has qualified to have one hour speech sessions each week at Minnesota Children's Hospital. Luckily the tests the pathologist performed indicated that her issue is a learned behavior and is not a medical issue in part due to having her adenoid removed. WHEW! Her speech teacher here was concerned that she may not be able to close the flap since her nasal sounds had increased after her surgery.

On to other events. The kids have went to the zoo, again. Dan and the kids visited the MN Zoo yesterday to be there for the opening day of the MN trail. They also made their first visit to Como Zoo in St Paul. They had a blast while I sat at home running our second garage sale of the summer (first time we were rained out). We are planning on going to the zoo(s) again when Kelsey has her first speech session on the 21st so I will get a chance to see everything.
Last night Gary, Mary, Amy, Jamie and Blake came down. Gary, Jamie and Dan practiced the song they will be doing for Stacy's wedding. The kids had fun running through the sprinkler and playing on the Jeep and tractor. It was obvious Keaton still needs help with sharing his toys. :) The kids are excited to be part of Amy and Jamie's wedding and Kelsey is already practicing her "kiss".


The "kiss"!!!





Who cares if it is pink...it rides like a dream.
