THIS IS MY NEW LIFE, February 2012

NieNie has a YouTube where she says, 'This is my new life.' I've realized that I have a new life, too, at least a new way of 'hearing' life. It's not what I expected and it's not perfect, but it's good, and I'm grateful. Besides my cochlear implant, I have this nifty phone that will caption your words if you will just call me!

A few days in August with the Allreds
Q loved these ducks, and the ducks loved Q

Charlotte loves her mommy and her mommy loves Charlotte

'Link' loves sneaking in a computer game or two...

...and Ella loves to play this big old piano

Espen loves to swing...

...and Lauren loves to smile her very cute smile

Espen loves to hitch a ride on the back of the stroller
and Lauren loves to take the front seat

Kate loves to cheer for her Dad on his P90X goals
'I know you can do it!'
'Try your best and forget the rest!'
Work hard...the harder the better!'
'Go strong, loving Dad!'

I want Kate on my cheer team!


Kate loves to play the piano, even when practice time is up

She also loves to hold her little sister, Tessa

Taylor, Lauren, and Kate in the middle of a game

Tessa in the middle of her dad's arms

Ranger thinking Espen looks good...

...Espen is good!

The Tess-purrfect ending
