our sunflowers. Thanks to all the rain we have had this summer the
sunflowers are fuller and taller than they have ever been before - although I think the two little girls outshine them all! :) "

Update on Farrish's Daughter and Her Adopted Family

What a Happy Little Girl!

"In our spare time here, we have visited Savannah several times, visited historic Bluffton, the beaches at Hilton Head Island, the neighborhood pool, Fort Pulaski, and Hunting Island. We have enjoyed this extended vacation and Jessie is so happy! Here are some pictures of Jessie enjoying her summer adventures...."

Jessica & Family Spend Summer at Camp

"Here are some pictures of Jessica at camp. She has really enjoyed painting (and eating) with fingerpaints! As you can see, she is standing and squatting really well and sits up like a pro.

At the end of each session, the teacher (Erika) gives stickers to each child for activities they did well with. Jessie sticks out her pointer finger to get the stickers and helps to put them on the chart. She LOVES this part and is fascinated with the stickers. She seems to be so proud of herself!

We have been working on walking for 5-10 minutes at the beginning and end of each day's session. At first, Jessie would not move her feet at all and we were moving them for her. Now, she will initiate the movements by herself or with verbal prompting or tickling, but her steps are still too small. We are very pleased though that she is beginning to control her legs now and if we stick with it every day, we think she will continue to improve."
