    First cookout of the season

    This morning before heading to the hospital to visit Jessica’s mom, Namine made Mother’s Day cards for Jessica’s mom and sisters (the ones who are mothers, at any rate).

    Last night as Jessica and I were making breakfast for dinner, Namine picked up a broom — which conveniently doubles as a guitar — and sang her heart out.

  • Throwback Thursday

    I guess I just missed throwback Thursday, but that’s okay. With all of Namine’s progress in her walker lately, I wanted to show you how far she’s come.

  • Taco night

    A couple nights ago, we had taco night. When I got home from work, Namine was still doing her schoolwork. They’d gotten kind of a late start, so I started to brown the meat for tacos. I would have preferred fish tacos, but this meat needed to be used before it went bad.

    My Aunt CR came across some pictures and videos of Namine from 2010. Man, was she a little peanut.

    I didn’t get to accompany Jessica and Namine to therapy today, but my sister did. Namine walked on the treadmill only because she had therapy with Lesley, and she walked across the mat “eight thousand times faster.” That may or may not be an exaggeration.

    I learned two things today. First, if I have enough aluminum cans to fill my car, it can get us enough money to go see a movie. Second, I haven’t had a song stuck in my head like this since I saw Aladdin when I was twelve.

    I’ve been writing a lot about how Namine is regaining strength in her arms and legs, and I think that’s awesome. It’s crazy to think that it’s already been nearly six months since the Fontan.

    It seems that it’s only when Jessica is sick that I get to take Namine to therapy.

    My aunt has a kit that allows you to build electronic devices. The projects included range from simple to complex. Namine and I built a few different projects.
