Ice skating with Mending Kids

We are really on the ice skating roll this week...3 times. Josie is loving it and so are the people skating with her. I love to watch her engage with "normal" activities and that she isn't limited by her abilities.

Josie and Mark Urata. Mark is the doctor that separated Josie. He did all her reconstruction and continues to be her lead doctor. Fun to be with he and his darling family that day.


Mending Kids had a terrific ice skating day at Santa Monica Beach on Sunday. It was quite a trip to be skating on frozen ice when it was 81 degrees at the beach that day. The poor guys trying to manage the ice had a heck of a time trying to clear the water off the rink. We had a ball pretending we were staking in a pool. Fun to be with all our MKI friends new and old. Mark Urata and family were there. I always feel more comfortable doing any kind of activity when Josie's lead doctor is present!! Good thing he lives down the block. Sorry for you Mark. After skating we went to 3rd and Promenade with the Drummond Family. Josie brought her good buddy Audrey with us so Cole and the girls enjoyed dinner. Thanks for taking us out Drummonds. Great to have time to catch up with you all.

OK Michigan family and friends...I realize that we still don't get the idea of winter sports, but it is hard when it is so hot out. Come visit us!! Miss you all so much. Jenny and Josie
