Google will be deleting old Blogger listings unless they are being kept active. While Wynn's story is her own, we want to keep this history available until she can decide where to port it, on her own timeline. So this post keeps the content alive.

Her first snowshoes!
Wynn got her first pair of snowshoes for Christmas ... but we had no snow on the ground then! Finally, yesterday overnight we got a nice 4" coating - enough to give the shoes a try. Shadow wanted to help:
Having clear skies ought to be good for playing outside, but when sunset is at 4:30 pm, there's little time to romp around. |
She got the hang of walking really quickly, and Shadow was overjoyed to have someone to chase. |
Let's have a video of the two of them playing! |

Christmas light show at the U of M
We walked around the East Bank for a while afterwards - plenty of students and families looking around and enjoying the weather. Pity the restaurants at Coffman aren't open late on a Saturday night. |

Braces!
She was helpful and interested through the whole procedure (our dentistry friends at Gillette Children's in St. Paul are a great team) |
Followup is in early February 2015. The plan is to get the front pair straight, and then expand to the next two, and the next... |

Decorating the Christmas Tree
Inspired by the Math & Science fair at the U of M last week, Wynn decided the theme for this year's tree would be TETRAHEDRONS. |
I put the lights up tonight - we'll trim the rest later... |

U of M Math & Science Family Fun Fair
We are so fortunate to live in a city with a major university, especially one that takes its land-grant mission seriously and engages at every level with the people of its state. The U's College of Science & Engineering puts on an annual fair for kids where all the student clubs can exhibit or demonstrate the many cool things they do!
It is no exaggeration to say there were a thousand kids at Coffman today, and what a wonderful sight that was. Wynn was recognized almost at once by a couple of her summer camp counselors! (Our little rock star...)

Ann comments,"it's pretty easy to tell which students are cut out to be teachers, and who should just stay in the lab.." |
So awesome to see so many girls in attendance, BTW |
Technically, her first selfie |
Hmm, someone seems to like using microscopes. CHRISTMAS HINT. |
The Society of Asian Scientists and Engineers was ready to sign her up... |
Building tetrahedrons with string and soda straws |
The Society of Women Engineers was also ready to sign her up, too, especially after she built an awesome parachute! |

CT scan today
With this information, we have decided to re-construct her right eardrum again - we could not get a date during Winter Break; the earliest date was at the end of January. It will be an outpatient procedure, but will take a good 3 hours (about twice as long as the last reconstruction.)
Wynn isn't happy about the prospect of another surgery - she can't hide her disappointment - but the hearing loss is really noticeable now and needs to be taken care of (and she knows that in her head, but it's OK for her heart to be sad...)
