Monday, July 30, 2012. A little something to start your week off right:. Links to this post. Friday, July 27, 2012. Here is Avery’s latest motor skills video. She was actually quite excited to make the video this time, which tells you a little bit of how much progress she’s made since the last video! Biggest things to notice about the video:. She’s forgotten how to side-sit! This used to be her most comfortable allowable position! Did you see that? She is handling stairs. Links to this post. He was still...

Saturday, September 29, 2012. A Chockablock Fun-Filled Day! We signed Brogan up for soccer starting at the beginning of September, and he has been loving it! He plays ever Saturday morning at 9am. They do 30 minutes of practice and then a 30 minute game. His ball handling skills during practice have definitely improved already, although that doesn’t necessarily carry over into actual game time :) Isn’t he the cutest little soccer star? Brogan putting his skills to the test against one of the instructors ...

Andersen Family Blog: April 2012
http://jaandersen.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 22, 2012. Last Tuesday morning, our friend Bryan called me and said that since he was running in the Blue Ridge Marathon. On Saturday, would it be okay if he did it in a shirt and tie to raise money for Avery? How awesome is that? He asked me questions about Avery, her medical diagnoses, her therapy, how much it costs, etc, and put together a whole page for her on his website. From there, he then managed to get two local TV stations to run a story on it, here. So here's that video:. After b...

Andersen Family Blog: August 2012

Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Almost exactly 4 years ago to the minute, a healthy, beautiful, 9lb 3oz baby boy was born, and his perfection blew me away! He has been waiting for this day for. Which is an extremely long time for a little boy to wait for anything! 3 or 4 weeks ago, Brogan was talking to Gabe on the phone and Gabe asked him what he was doing. Brogan responded, “I’m just waiting for my birthday to be here.” Ha! The blessed day has arrived! These are the party invitations I made! This is appare...

Andersen Family Blog: Pre-Christmas
http://jaandersen.blogspot.com/2012/12/pre-christmas.html
Tuesday, December 25, 2012. We got a late start on our Christmas preparations this year, due to the fact that we moved house and all! We moved into our cute little rental house on December 8th, and as soon as possible got to work on making it festive! It was pretty cute! Finally they came to the agreement that Brogan would put the star on the tree and Avery would turn it on. I loved our colourful tree this year! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Andersen Family Blog: Brogan
http://jaandersen.blogspot.com/p/brogan.html
Brogan and Oliver were sitting on the couch. Brogan said "Mom, I want to call Oliver a different name. I want to call him Coco.". Brogan and I had been having a little bit of a heated discussion about the fact that I wouldn't give him treats because we were just about to go watch a movie where he would have popcorn and soda. A couple of minutes later he came over and said, "Mom, I love you. But you just can't do this to me. Do you understand? Me: "Who hides there? Brogan: "I will never tell you.". Brogan...

Andersen Family Blog: Avery
http://jaandersen.blogspot.com/p/avery.html
We moved Avery's desk up into her bedroom, and it has been much easier for her to sit and do her work without getting distracted. HOWEVER. she has been distracted from sleeping! One night I went upstairs at 10:30pm and found her colouring at her desk. I told her I might have to cancel her playdate with Rachel the next day because she was going to be too tired. She said "Oh no! And now I've over-PLAYED and over-COLOURED! The next night I found her doing a math workbook at 9pm, because it was "EASY! Halfwa...

Tuesday, June 26, 2012. Hydro Family Gathering 2012. I’ll warn you right now – there are a. Of pictures in this post! This past weekend we took the 7 hour drive to Nashville to finally meet. Some of the wonderful families we have only known online until now! I have been so excited about this trip! I am so grateful to be living in the age of the internet, because it helps a lot to have a support system of people who know what it is like to have a child with hydrocephalus! Dinner in the hotel. So I showere...
