Exciting day! Mike organized the first ever wheelchair basketball tournament as part of Iowa Games. Very cool! There were 12 participants making up 3 teams with over 60 spectators. Janie and I were very proud to watch. Here's a few pics -

I'm not so good at this
So I know I have not done at good job at keeping this blog updated. If i believed in New Year's resolutions, I'd make one. But I don't, so I'll just try to do better.
Things are going really well for us right now. Janie is 7 months old now growing so fast. Sometimes I think she changes overnight. She is such a happy baby; rarely fusses and always behaves in public. How lucky are we? She loves her little pink blanket, her Exersaucer and rolling around on the floor with her toys. She does not like it when someone sneezes or when a dog barks. She also does not like it when you take her food away. We know when she is awake every morning because we hear her sneeze.
Janie is really talkative right now. She loves to say "ra ra ra ra ra" or just a prolonged "ahhhhhhhh." She especially likes to hear her voice echo. That made for some loud rest room stops on our way to and from Wyoming last December. Janie figured out the restrooms has a echo and she would talk as loud as she could. Good grief!
The best thing Janie does? Goes to bed at 6:30 and sleeps all night! We can hardly believe it, but it's so nice to have that time together at night. Mike has time when he gets home from work to play with her, feed her and help put her to bed. She usually wakes up around 6:45/7:00 in the morning. We don't take any of these nights with early bedtime for granted. Not all new parents are so lucky!
Somedays it feels like Adaptive Sports Iowa is growing as fast as Janie is. Mike has been in the job just over a year and has several successful programs under his belt. He is most looking forward to February when he will host his first adaptive ski event called "Adaptive Sports Iowa Winter Experience." He will get to help teach ski lessons to physically disabled athletes. It would be an understatement to say that he is excited. Mike LOVES to ski and he LOVED teaching adaptive ski lessons while in college. February will be an exciting month.
What's a blog post without some good pictures. Here are our family pictures we had taken just before Christmas -
Until next time...
