Tuffy is doing amazing!

I am so excited because Tuffy is doing really well, she has improved so much. Now she is walking, troting, stops, putting her head down, turn her head inside, walking correctly, bending her neck, does this on both sides. Kim F. is helping me train Tuffy, in exchange I am helping Kim take care of Jake-groom him. With Tuffy we are buliding up her strength, keep lounging her for two to three weeks, then Kim will help me train her with riding so I can be able to walk, trot, and canter her, that will take a month or two- right now we are not at that point with riding. I love you!
i miss you
excited everyone is home, miss Paul, fun family reuion. love you all , thank you Kim for helping me.

BIKES!

Joyce sporting her newest head ware demanded to be taken out on the bike this morning. And I can't blame her because who wouldn't want to bike ride for hours when you get to sit in this: 

The bright green of our new front-mounted bike seat for Joyce is magnetic as well as fun. 

Joyce's newest word is 'bike' and she loves to ride ours as well as point out anyone else riding a bike. She chirps 'hat' and points to our helmets and then says 'bike' and off we go. We have been riding a lot to stave off the grumpiness pointed eye teeth coming through one's gums can induce. It is very effective distraction indeed.

I love it because Joyce can see everything and I can talk to her while we ride. It may be our best investment yet.

Blueberry Picking

We went blueberry picking with Barbara early one morning last week. Barbara is our most wonderful neighbor and dear friend who is letting us garden with her and who we love to visit. (In fact every time Joyce walks out the door she says, "Barba, Barba" and vigiorously points in the direction of Barbara's house.)

Joyce loved the berries and when she got sick of eating them herself, she put them in my mouth.

Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom!
I love you, and thanks for everything you do! I am so glad we are family forever and you have taught me so much! Love you! I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
Just to let everyone know, that Tuffy is doing better, but Kim Folk is going to help me train Tuffy since she needs it, being not so nice/testing me.
I hope you have a fun birthday. Thanks for always being there for us.
love
Mels
I am excited to see everyone soon.
