The film crew came yesterday to interview us and take some footage of the girls and their lives. It will be used to promote Rehab Centre For Children and help people who donate to understand the kids they are helping. Ashley was crying right up until the interview and then settled...Yippee! She actually sat nicely in my lap for the whole interview, although she didn't smile. Below you can see Ashley in her new stroller. It's called a Convaid Cruiser, and it fits much better than the other stroller I use when I take her out. She's growing so tall!
Hope slept through the ENTIRE morning. She slept through her bath, through getting her hair done, through all the juggling around and manoevering into her stander. Hope fits into Ashley's kidkart VERY well (this is the special wheelchair that was funded by donations to Rehab Centre for Children), and I think I'll let Hope keep using it.
In fact, she slept the entire day, which is not unusual after she has been sick. She finally woke up around 7pm, and then she was all smiles and coos. Of course, we cuddled her the whole evening until we went to bed, and I'm sure she was awake in bed most of the night. She's sleeping again this morning. It will take a while to get her back on the normal day schedule.

Jolene did a little plugging, but now I'm going to do the full court press. If you're looking for a charitable destination for some dollars (and you've already given to Pakistan) consider the Rehab Centre for Children. It is a very modest operation that does some seriously important work. You can see the impact of its mission on this blog, with the strollers and standers and kid carts that Hope and Ashley are using. The Rehab Centre also lets you designate your gift -- to Ashley and Hope, of course! Anyways, I know that there are many deserving charities out there. This is one where you can see the immediate impact it has on the life of someone you love.

It's great to see the girls both looking so good. Thanks for the update Jolene. I'm thinking of you this month as you wait for baby!
