We've been using our camper a TON! We went 3 out of 4 weekends in June/July. We've been to Diamond Lake, Lincoln State Park and Tipsaw Lake (beautiful!). We're getting alot of good use out of it!! We also finally sold the pop-up, thank goodness.

I've been noticing that Ally has been more clumsey and falling more lately. Took her to see Dr. Cochran and he said her left leg is weaker than her right but nothing seriously wrong. She had an x-ray which came back fine. So, on July 6, we started Physical Therapy at High Point with Karen Lawson. She did all kinds of physical tests and measurements. She said her right leg has more muscle but her left leg is bigger with either more baby fat or swollen. She definitely tends to favor her right leg. Ally was so good. She did exactly what she was told and enjoyed our time together. Karen gave me 3 exercises to do with Ally to help strengthen her leg and also "bandaged" it up to make her want to use it. She's doing her exercises so good and loves aims to please. We have some great kids!! She goes back on July 27.

Lots of little things coming up: Jeff gone canoeing this weekend, Tonya's baby shower, we're having a Luau, Mel's wedding, etc.
