"Everything is possible to the one who believes"
so this week Marianna got her new "leggie" to match her new foot
Isn't it pretty? She loves it, but it's taking some getting used to.
In addition to her new "leggie" she and her sister were invited to a skating party for their friend Genevieve's birthday.
Even me her Momma that knows better than anyone that she can do anything that she puts her mind to wondered....Can she skate?
So....we went for a practice run..before the party.
and I gotta say this Momma was a little worried. Not just about Marianna. About me...I hadn't skated in I don't know how long. And then in sad rental skates that clearly had seen better days. Add to that Izzy had never skated. What in the world was I thinking. Me alone with two girls that had never skated and one is wearing a prosthetic leg. Oh my....
So how'd we do? ....GREAT!
I took me a few minutes and a little 80's jam and it all came back to me. I had a blast. Izzy hung close to the wall but in general didn't pretty well for the first go round.
And Marianna....well, let's just say she was on the ground more than she was upright for the first few laps. Then it got better and better and better. Not good yet, but getting there.
Not one time in the two hours that we skated did she get discouraged. Not one time did she want to quit. Well maybe she did "want" to quit because one time she looked at me and said "Braniffs aren't quitters Mom" : ) So maybe she wanted to, but she never did. She just kept getting back up and moving on. By the end we walked out of the skating rink and she said "that was so much fun" !
I should've known....Everything is possible for the one that believes. And this girl...she believes!
They had a great time celebrating with Genevieve at her birthday party and a blast skating.
