Oley, Here We Come!




We're headed to the Oley conference which is in St Pete's, FL this year. And depending on how Bo travels, we plan to be in A2 for the 4th weekend. It's going to be extremely hot, and Bo gets overheated very easily, so I'm a bit nervous. But we buzzed his hair off (these show of his now defunct Bruce Lee mullet), and it seems to help. The heatwave here has lightened up a bit and instead of unbearable, it's just a little hot at midday.

Medically, Bo remains stable (knock wood). His GI was very pleased and said he's just on maintenance right now. The nephrologist said as much in March. Bo will see both again in October. His feeding therapist is making very nice progress with his toothbrushing goals, and we look forward to more Feldenkrais lessons in July at a Childs'pace workshop (if not sooner with his teacher). His gross motor skills are still lagging, but everything else seems good!

On the home front, the garage is now standing tall- we will re-roof it next year. The window replacement project was itself replaced with a window trim/sill rehab project (much more affordable, thank goodness, and justified with an energy audit). And we've added an insulation project to the tree trimming project for this fall. Yikes. But considering we did nothing to the house these last 2 years while we were so focused on Bo's health, I guess it's time to pay the piper (the home maintenance piper). Sigh.

We celebrated Father's Day Eve at the 4 diamond restaurant in town (yum!) and drove to A2 on the fly to spend time with both our fathers. Can't wait to see Jose's brother and his partner in Florida! And finally meet all our cyberfriends in person!!
