  • Two years ago today

    Two years ago today

    I can hardly believe that two years ago today, Namine was in recovery after her second club foot surgery.

  • Overcoming limitations

    Overcoming limitations

    Namine hurt herself. It wasn’t bad, and we didn’t have to pay a visit to the hospital. It was Namine’s pride, I think, perhaps her self-esteem, that was hurt the most.

  • Namine’s outdoor adventures

    Namine’s outdoor adventures

    Today was a fantastic day. We’re fortunate enough to have been able to come up to my aunt’s for the weekend, and the weather was superb today. Namine and I had the chance to go for a walk, and more.

  • Making donuts

    Making donuts

    Namine was helping my aunt make donuts. She understood that she needed to dust the cutter in floor, but she didn’t know why.

  • Brackets and Sass

    The WordPress theme I run on eichefam.net is one I’ve built myself from the ground up. I had initially set it up using Less to compile the stylesheet, but I really wasn’t using any of its advantages (like nesting, loops, that kind of thing) over plain old CSS.

    Some of Namine’s school work. She did a great job.

  • Taking doctors’ advice seriously

    Taking doctors’ advice seriously

    The other night, Namine told us that she couldn’t scoot. “I’m only allowed to crawl,” she said. “My doctor said I shouldn’t scoot.” Jessica and I could not think of a single doctor who said that.

  • Panel View for Keep 2.1

    Panel View for Keep 2.1

    I’ve pushed out an update for my Chrome extension, Panel View for Keep. It’s just a minor update, bringing it up to version 2.1.

  • Birthday party

    Birthday party

    This evening we went over to my parents’ house for dinner to celebrate my brother’s birthday. Before we went over there, Namine took some time to draw him a birthday card.

  • Working hard

    Working hard

    It would seem that Namine is pretty much settled back into the rhythm of physical therapy. Even though she only has it once a week — down from before the prior authorization expired, when she had it twice a week — she’s proving to be building strength and enthusiasm.
