MERRY CHRISTMAS!

VOLLEYBALL

Daniel is well known in the little town of Jordan. It is unusual when I don't have him healing at my side and when I don't I am asked several times where Daniel is. He continuously lights up the daily lives of so many people.

I took this picture of the Jordan Volley Ball team one night before they started their game. We attended many volleyball games this past fall and he did great. It was not strange for Daniel to actually be watching the game. He also made a few tiny friends who would make their way over to us to say hi and to give out some hugs.

Dan continues his training, we have become a little more stubborn as he heads into his 7th month. This is normal and for Dan anyway it means I have to be more careful about picking his training times. He is the one who tells me at this point when he wants to work and when he does not. I think at about 1 year this will change back again. We continue to work on picking up items such as credit cards and metal items. He is not to thrilled with metal but credit cards and paper money he loves. I have found a brand of toy he can not destroy so we leave that out for him and many times a day he comes to have some fetching time.

In the last 4 weeks Dan has attended plays at the Ordway, Guthrie and Chanhassen Dinner Theatre. In each situation he did great. Crowds and noise are not an issue with Daniel at all.

He did give the ghost of Christmas future a second look at the Guthrie though!
