In the car and in the hotel, Joy wanted to watch, what else?, Totoro!

 

 

 

Before heading home, we wentIMG_5924 to the Wildlife Refuge.  There is a huge collection of animals and you drive through safari style.  At the end we stopped and got icees and went to the petting zoo to pet the goats.

Morgan’s Wonderland

Earlier in the year, I was trying to decide what to do for Joy’s birthday and then I heard about Morgan’s Wonderland.  I was so excited – and I was not disappointed!  Morgan’s Wonderland is a great place for people of all abilities!IMG_5571  IMG_5596 IMG_5624 IMG_5659 IMG_5691 IMG_5707 IMG_5725 IMG_5751 IMG_5769 IMG_5797 IMG_5801 IMG_5808 IMG_5841 IMG_5834

A sad day.  Joy’s speech therapist is leaving.  We had a special time together to say good-bye.  We bought doughnuts and enjoyed those together.  We painted.  We made rice krispies treats.  We will miss Miss Megan.  Joy has progressed so much in her care.

Joy loves, adores, and is addicted to the movie Totoro. She was thrilled this week at the library when Sammi found her a book of Totoro!!

This week we sent off Joy’s birthmother’s package.  We hope that she enjoys it and knows that our sweet girl is loved and well.
