Natalie is excited that it's summer!!  She's back in her swing again...and loving it!  I realize my last update was around Easter...I'm horrible about doing this!  Natalie and I are in Sherwood today, while Daddy is at a reffing camp in Sioux Falls.  There's always something going on around here to keep us SUPER BUSY!  Natalie has begun hippotherapy (horse therapy) and really enjoys it!  She loves her horse, Lucy...and it sure beats being inside for physical therapy this summer. 

We have started the transition meetings for Natalie to attend school in this fall.  She will start very soon after her 3rd birthday, and we are very excited for her to meet new friends and learn new things in a school setting.  She will go to school for a couple of hours in the morning, 5 days a week.  I'm excited for her to have a structured learning time and learn not to depend solely on us for her entertainment!  At that time, all of her in-home therapies will come to an end, as they will be carried out during her time in school.  I'm looking forward to have mornings to get some things done around the house as Natalie still depends on me to help her do pretty much everything.  

There are more big changes coming for Natalie in a few months.  She will soon meet her new sibling!  I am almost 5 months pregnant, and we're all excited to meet the newest member of the family.  We know if it's a boy or a girl--but it will remain a surprise for those of you reading this...you'll just have to wait to see!  If you're wondering about the chances of this baby being born prematurely...let me just say that we wouldn't have gotten pregnant in the first place if there were anything to worry about.  So, no worries!  We'll meet the little one in early November, soon after Nat's 3rd birthday.  It'll be a busy time for all of us, but we feel truly blessed to be able to even think about having another child!

We are preparing for a couple of trips this month...one to Bismarck for the 4th of July weekend, and the weekend after that, it's off to the lake in Minnesota for a week of fun!  Natalie doesn't have to see her Fargo doctors until September, so our travels will be spread out well.

That's all I have for you today!  Thank you for checking in on our little Bea!
