A couple weeks ago, we traveled North for Amie's 6 month check up at OHSU. Everthing checked out fine. Hearing is definately better with the tubes in her ears. Her speech is coming along fine, and seems unaffected by the cleft lip/palate. Her dr. said they won't do anything on the lip at this time, unless she had to go back in for another redo on the ear tubes. It really looks pretty good, and it is unnecessary to put her under for that alone. So...all good news. Another 6 months and we will recheck again.
So aside from that, we spent some time with Tyler, Ana, and Isaac. We stopped at Detering Orchards in Harrisburg....beautiful day. Went back to their new house in Corvallis. So nice to see where they live! The kids played on the playground for a while, then Isaac shared his toys! Had dinner with them and Mom and Curt, before calling it a night.


Watching the apple juice press!

I will have to ask Isaac what the name is for where he is pointing...the anatomical term for elbow. Such a smartie! course when you have parents like his....! (It's the olecranon process!)

Waiting for the wagon ride.

Playing while we wait!


All aboard!

Amie leans far out to see the horses...

BIG crocodile tears, cause she can't sit on the floor!

THROUGH the hay maze!

OVER the hay maze!

What a BIG step!

Picking the not-so-perfect pumpkin in the free patch! They had character!

Amie is not shy around animals. She is anxious to give em a good hard PAT! or grab a bit of fur!

Riding the rails with Gma LaVerne! stair rails, that is!



In the car...one sleeps!

One doesn't!
