Marla, Mary, and Leo smile as they anticipate a fun musical performance, on their way into a benefit concert for her and Luke Little, at St. Barnabas Church.
On November 13th, Marla dropped in on Malley Elementary, the first school at which she taught, and visited with many dear friends. Here she's enjoying a laugh with Vanessa Garcia and Avis Gallegos.
Jenny Hart, with son Hayden, came down to visit Marla in Montrose. Jenny teaches elementary school in Ouray, Colorado, where Marla's parents grew up.
The family sits down to enjoy Thanksgiving Dinner at the home of Marla's grandparents, Howard and Mary, in Montrose, Colorado.
Marla shows off some crafted holiday candy cane decorations that she made with some clever beads and pipe fittings that family friend Liz Beerman gave to her.
Marla is making lots of progress and improvement in using her injured right arm--here she carried a chair over to sit by Mom at the computer, all by herself.
Puck gives Marla some extra warmth and therapy while she's getting ready for stretches on the massage table.
