Walter Reed AMC Playground - June 2008

Here are some pictures from the unit BBQ at Walter Reed….

Well since I posted an updated picture yesterday of Kiersten, I’d thought I would post an updated picture of Rebecca as well

Age 6 - Kindergarten - Ft. Belvoir Elementary

Well today is May 3rd and that means its my oldest daughter’s 10th birthday! Hard to believe and a little depressing all at the same time. It just seems like yesterday that Kiersten arrived, a month early no less.

It’s amazing to look at Kiersten now growing into a beautiful young lady despite the challenges that she has been faced with. Kiersten has some special needs she has had to overcome and some that she still adjusts to on a daily basis. Her progress over the years has been simply amazing to watch. From having therapy 5 days a week to having to get shots to prevent seizures, she has dealt with each one in her own unique way.

As parents we are supposed to teach our children about life but Kiersten has had the opposite effect on Dan and I. She has taught us so much about life, facing challenges, looking at the beauty on the inside, living for the moment and just being happy. When we started our journey as parents with Kiersten, we thought we were on a specific path. We had no idea of what was in store. I’m not saying that a bad thing. It’s a lot like… you plan a trip to the Cayman Islands and you end up in Alaska. It’s still a beautiful place to be and definitely an adventure,  just not quite what you had planned. : )

This past Monday night ( Feb 11th) was Kiersten’s first ever Strings concert at Ft Belvoir Elementary. She has only been playing since October and is really doing good with it. All the kids at the concert did fantastic for only playing for 4 months. Video of the concert will be coming soon….
