Audrey had her second birthday this month and she made the most of it. She ate her Elmo cake and then went to the Wheaton Regional Park and botanical gardens. The following week she saw the Ringling Brothers perform (somewhat) harrowing feats of magnificence. It would have been more entertaining if someone had been trampled by an elephant or something. Probably my first and last time I attend a circus; they must make more money on concession crap than ticket sales.

The winter here has been nonexistent save for the occasional snowflake. Shawna, Audrey and I skied Whitetail Resort on president's day weekend. Audrey did more daycare than skiing, but I'm sure she still had fun. Shawna figured out how to snowboard and was able to keep up with me the whole time!!
Audrey's brain MRI in early Feb. developed no negative results thankfully. Doctors were looking for indications of cerebral palsy or some sort of brain cyst that may be inhibiting her gross motor skill delays. She is still an enigma. We recently had casts of her legs made to construct leg braces in hopes of helping her walk. We shall see what April brings.
