Our First Fundraiser

Last weekend we had our first fundraiser for The Foundation for Retinal Research. My nephews wanted to do have a little booth at Portage Days so we decided to do a bake sale, sell purses and braille bracelets. They did an awesome job raising over $150, and we had a great time doing it. My sister talked me into riding her bike through the parade with my nephew in the wagon tied on behind me!! We had these shirts made that say "Reese's Fight 4 sight Team". We plan to do more fundraisers for FRR in the future with the next possibly being a 5k run in the spring!!

Our new addition KOKO

We decided to get a new addition to our family! My sister gave us this little puppy for Reese and she is super cute!! We asked Reese what she wanted to name it and we gave her a few names to choose from and she kept saying koko, so that is her name!! We had a great Labor Day Holiday, it is my hometown Wellsville's celebration, so we get to spend time with all my family!! We have so much fun, it is by far one of my favorite holidays!!!

Mom and Reese Canes

Today our orientation and mobility specialist came and brought us canes to start using. She left one for Willy and I and one for Reese. By using ours and talking about the bumps and steps we feel with it, Reese will hopefully catch on and want to use hers!! I gave Reese her cane after she left, she picked it up said no and threw it on the ground!!! (what a great start) lol... She is just suppose to play with it and explore right now because she is so young, so I am not too worried about it!! Right now we will mostly use it for stairs. It is so crazy to be starting all this, and the older she gets the harder it is getting to think outside the box of a "visual" world.
