A busy day
Namine is such a tomboy, but sometimes she surprises us.
-
She’s a boots girl
Namine has always loved boots. She comes by that honestly enough — both my sister and I are suckers for a good pair of boots.
-
At the state fair
Jessica and Namine went with my mom and sister to the state fair yesterday. My dad and I joined them after work.
-
Stronger every day
Namine got her new braces — AFOs (ankle-foot orthotics), to be exact, although “brace” is just easier to say — last week. Her old braces were too small for her ever-growing feet, and she needed more support than her shoes could give.

Assumptions
This evening Namine and I went for a short walk to the park. She got mad because I didn’t help her get into her wheelchair.
-
Fashionable headwear
Namine likes to be stylish, no matter what.
-
Afternoon at the zoo
Jessica, Namine, and I took a chance with the weather yesterday afternoon.
-
Trip to Urgent Care
Namine complained tonight of pain when she went to the bathroom. Fearing a UTI, we went to the Urgent Care.
-
Going to the park
For several years now, Jessica and I have volunteered at Polish Fest. We’re not polish ourselves, but it’s a fun time and we get some free food in exchange.
-
At the zoo
We had a free day today (technically yesterday, since it’s now after midnight), so our plan was to clean the apartment. But then we thought, you know, why clean when we could go to the zoo? That sounds like a much better way to spend a Saturday.

Friends wherever she goes
The first Friday of every month in the summer, my city has this outdoor community event. Music is played, food is served, and everyone gets plenty of exercise and beer.

Daddy-daughter time
Jessica went out this evening for a girls’ night out, so Namine and I took advantage of the nice weather and went to the park.
