Cancel That

When I first started this blog Mom wanted me to make it private. But Mom has since decided to keep it open for all to view. So don't worry you will all be able to view this at anytime.
Thanks for all the input back. It was nice to hear so many people have look at this site.
Love ya all

Baking

For dinner I was making biscuits and gravy. Well I decided to have Dad help me make the biscuits. Once I had the dough made I helped Dad stand at the counter. Dad rolled out the dough and cut out all the biscuits. I thought he would want to stop once we finished the first cutting, but he helped me put all the biscuits on the pan and stayed at the counter until all the dough was used up. I actually did very little to help. Mom came home right before we finished. She was very excited to see Dad standing at the counter helping. She was very suprised to find out he had been there for about 10 min. As I helped Dad sit down he let out a sigh of exhaustion. I just kind of laughed and asked if he was tired. He was very proud of himself though. When Jeremiah got home he was happy to report of his hand in making dinner. I will have to find more things to have him help me make.
I am sorry I didn't get a picture. I was too nervous to leave him at the counter very long. Next time.

Talking or rather Singing

Please forgive the noise in the background. The speech therapist is using a technique that she found called MELODIC INTONATION THERAPY(MIT). She has never used it before but since Dad likes to sing so much she decided to try it. As you can see it takes Dad a lot of concentration to be able to do this. Dad is a lot better at saying 'Thank You' He has even got to the point where we just tell him to say Thank You and he does. Really big strides this week.

Going Private

Love Ones and Friends,
I will be making this blog private in the next week or so. If you are interested in being able to look at this blog still please make a comment and leave me your name and e-mail address so I can make sure I send you an invite to be able to still view the blog. If you don't want to leave your e-mail address just leave your name and I will either see if I have your e-mail address already or I will track you down and find it.
Thanks
Missy

Voting

Yesterday I took Dad to vote. I was really hoping to get a picture of him but I also had three of the kids with me and had my hands full. Dad was very excited to be able to do this. Since he can't read very well I was allowed to help him out. They had a little desk set up for those who couldn't stand at the voting boxes. So I read to him what he could vote for and who. He was very opinionated about some of the propositions and didn't care much about others (Like should so and so be kept as a judge). Those ones he had me skip over. After I finished voting myself, and we got load in the car, Dad let out a cheer. We both laughed and sang that we had finished voting and no longer had to worry about it. It was wonderful to see that Dad still has the ability to vote. I believe he was pretty happy about it too. We celebrated with a trip to McDonald's. But now Dad is grumbling about who won.
