thanks kid!

hope y’all understood that. have a great day!

- heres a pic of isla typing to you. enjoy.

we’ve been mostly at home.

enjoying our summer.

tim is off from school but still so busy with football, basketball, and a summer job.

isla is doing fantastic. what is new with her? well, she has lost some old tone patterns so she is learning some correct tone patterns. which is really exciting. she scoots on the floor in circles and backwards. loves to lay on the floor with her toys and move and groove as much as she can. she is doing an expert job of getting her knees up under her and pushing up on them. if only we could get her arms to want to do the same. i know it will come in time. when she gets her knees under she then loses the push because she lets her feet fly. she doesnt get them down to dig into the push. so her therapists are going to try ankle weights on her and see if that does anything. 

we have been to the pool a few times this summer. isla loves it. i keep forgetting to take pictures there. i have been so bad with my picture taking. for the past few months i have really been “in” each moment. which causes me to forget to take pictures. and has been keeping me off of my computer a lot.

i am hoping to find a better balance. so i dont neglect the blog. but family is first. so if i do end up going a while without posting i am so sorry. 

we are starting to plan isla’s second birthday party. we have so many great ideas. we are so excited for what may come of it.

also you guys need to stay tuned for a very exciting announcement from The Karst’s!

hope ya’ll are having a great summer.

…is what i feel like life is moving at. ok maybe not 500 mph but only 479mph. i mean come on its june already! gah. isla is 20 months. tim is about done with school. 1 day left. it is moving into super busy season at the store. it is 90-100 degrees outside. i love summer. but here is what i dont like about summer…

-the fact that we have not had time to use our grill yet this summer.

-that we have not been to a baseball game yet.

-how about that we went to the neighborhood pool for the first time in 1 1/2 years last night.

-that is gets so hot that i cannot take my darling daughter for walks during the day.

-it is so hot and dry and has not rained in so long that my flowers are all dying. (yes i realize i could water them with the hose more often than once a week)

-the list goes on….

the good thing is we are going to get islas therapy room done soon now that daddy is home. so the house will be back in order!!!!! also the farmers markets are in full swing and i love summer cooking and baking with fresh veggies and fruit. im thinking a big shrimp boil is in order for friends and family at our house. and at the end of summer i get to start planning isla’s second birthday party. since she didnt really have a 1 birthday party because of surgery. i am making this one BIG!

thats it for now…my mind is blank. stay tuned for a new therapy video being posted later today!
