After visiting friend Steffie Brouillete's art class at Glacier Peak Elementary School, Marla got out her chalks, and sat down and produced a wonderful rendition of Van Gogh's Starry Night, of which she has a poster in her living room. Her art abilities are amazing, and left-handed! Plus great exercise for the brain.

While her regular speech therapist was on vacation, Marla worked with a substitute speech therapist, Jody, for awhile. Marla is currently working with a new software program called CHAT, to aid in her therapy.

One of the highlights of the Colorado River trip was a swing by the rookery of the Great Blue Heron, nesting for the spring. Very beautiful, graceful birds. If you look hard, you can see a Heron in the upper right hand nest within the tree.

At Craig's evening St. patrick's Day dance, Marla surveys the dance floor with friends Ken and Billy, fellow Craig patients.
