Saturday at the Playground

Last weekend was cold and rainy in Minnesota -- except for a few hours of much-needed sunshine. Frankie took advantage of those hours by going to one of our favorite playgrounds right on Lake Calhoun.

I'm not quite sure how this iconic/blashpemous picture came to be, but it is pretty funny. It makes Frankie's priestly Halloween costume from a few years back seem more believable.

Frankie loves the tire swing at this playground. It's even more fun when there are other kids on the swing, but we had a great time with just him going around and around and around and around.

Frankie Throws!

After lots of hard work in PE at school and occupational therapy at The Therapy Place, Frankie has learned how to throw a ball over his head.

He's really proud of himself. He brings a ball over to play catch a few times a day. It has been especially fun to play catch when we swim.

Last Days of the Boot

Frankie got rid of his boot for good in September. Here's a pic of us playing in our front yard on one of the last days Frankie was stuck with the boot.

Needless to say, Frankie is thrilled not to be dragging around that big ol black boot any longer.
