Fun with Instagram
Along with spending trying to build connections between families and kids in the special needs world, I’m also a bit of a social media geek.

I was lucky enough to discover a couple of stories about Hayden Filson thanks to her mom who posted on the Born Just Right Facebook page.

I had to pull out the camera yesterday… It was warm and breezy and the flowers are out on the trees and the kids were getting along. Jordan’s arm is getting a rash, but that didn’t stop her from climbing our favorite climbing tree and having fun outside. Enjoy the pictures!

Jordan isn’t all there… but she’s so much better. We’re learning the hard way about what foods work and don’t work… but she was feeling well enough to participate in the world again. Jordan went to a make-up dance class this morning. It was great to see her back to dance. She hasn’t been to…
