A few more things that have gone on that I forgot to mention! Julia sang at church this past weekend in front of the whole congregation for Faith! She sang "She's a Butterfly" by Martina McBride. With the help of our friend, John, who played the acoustic guitar, she sang that song with all of her heart and got a standing ovation in church! Peter and I are so proud of her as she sang this beautiful and very meaning song to her sister. Also, thanks so much to everyone involved in the Beefsteak Dinner for Faith. Julia, Olivia and Faith had a wonderful time (didn't get home until 12 a.m.). It truly was so overwhelming to see so many people coming out and volunteering their time to support our family. Your generousity, kindness and thoughtfulness is so heartwarming and we are so grateful for all of you, thank you so very much. It was a great weekend in all! We are truly blessed.
Sorry it has taken so long to update Faith's blog, but so much has been going on since the golf outing. Faith is in therapy everyday. She works so very hard and is very determined. She rides a pony, Bella, twice a week for equine therapy, she has speech, occupational and physical therapies several times a week, we go to Children's Specialized Hospital once a week, and she has her kindergarten teachers coming 5 times a week. She is following kindergarten curriculum and doing very well. Her homework assignment is to learn to spell MOM and CAT. Well, she decided for extra credit, that she would spell, MOM, CAT, DAD, DOG, JULIA, OLIVIA, and FAITH MORELLI! She is more and more like herself everyday. With the exception of her balancing skills (which is large motor), and some fine motor skills, she is just about the same old Faith! She's even doing her puzzles again. We had a great visit with our Florida and California friends, Donna, Pam and Lisa. It was so nice to see all of them and for them to see how well Faith is doing (wish you all lived closer!) We went on a class trip to Ort Farms yesterday, Faith rode a bus for the very first time. She went on a tractor ride to pick her very own pumpkin (which was dirty, by the way, on the side and bottom, that's what she told everyone). She wore a smile from ear to ear the entire time. Once I figure out how to put pictures on this blog, I will attach them for you all to see. We are truly blessed and would like to thank each and every one of you for your prayers.
