Pudding Fun

Normally when Audrey gets to have pudding, I feed it to her. One evening though I was feeling really generous and decided to let her have the spoon. I have to say this was after a few adamant squeals from her that she wanted it. Well as the pictures show, the spoon was quickly tossed aside and it was all hands in. What mom can resist taking pictures of this!

Our New House

After looking for many months, we finally found a house! We realize that it probably won't be a long term house as we'll probably outgrow it, but it is perfect for what we need now. Plus the price was awesome!! It is in a great neighborhood and is close to everything. We are scheduled to close on June 30th and are very excited. I've attached some pictures of the outside, but will save the pics of the inside until we move in.

Helmet No. 4

Yes that's right, we are on to helmet number 4. After we got back from doctor's visits in San Antonio for Audrey's third and supposedly last helmet, we learned through three weeks of crabby Audrey that the 3rd helmet did not fit. It was squeezing the back of her neck which was making her miserable as you can imagine. So we put her old helmet back on (luckily it fit) and talked back and forth with the helmet guy in San Antonio as to what our options were. We didn't want to have to go back to San Antonio again if possible. Finally after about a month going back and forth with him, it turned out that the guy who helped develop the helmet for our doctor years ago now lives in Sioux Falls, SD, only 45 minutes away from us!!! We couldn't believe it. God has defininately had us in the right spot through this whole thing. We were able to meet with him right away and a new helmet was ordered. The group in Sioux Falls (Davin, Mark & Annette) were fantastic and so helpful. I was worried that since we were approximately 2 months behind now on her helmet that she would have to wear it longer, but they said her head looked fantastic and she would not have to wear it any longer than originally prescribed. We all can't wait for August 14th to come because that helmet is coming off for good!!!

Now since we are in South Dakota and Clarisse is in San Antonio, we had to enlist someone new to decorate her 4th and last helmet. That someone, Jess Schelske, was Dave's friend from high school who also works at Daktronics. As you can tell from the pictures, she did a fabulous job. Thanks so much Jess for helping us out. The helmet looks terrific!!
