Indian names

My kids & I got our Indian names over the weekend. My dad & Amy came up for the ceremony/Sundance. They got here Thursday. On Friday I had a meeting & the kids had their last day of Vacation Bible School. Then the kids & my dad had hair cuts. We drove over to Wolf Point to give our Chief tobacco & yd of red cloth & ask for a name. Saturday I had CPR training. When I got home we decided to drive to Williston. On our drive home we stopped off at Sundheim park & went over the bridge & through the tunnel!!





Sunday all of us (Neil, me, the kids, my dad, & Amy) went to Wolf Point for the Sundance Lodge Ceremonies. Jessica said she LOVES this culture!! It was a traditional sweat/healing/naming ceremony. My name is Two Eagles Woman. Jessica's name is Little Blue Grass Girl. Nathan's name is Grizzly Bear Foot.

Today dad & Amy left for home. Neil got up & went to work. Jess started swim lessons. And Nathan is doing a 3-day wrestling camp. Tonight both kids have baseball/softball games.

Injured & Not Injured

I HAD to post this!! I wanted to post the picture of Nathan a while back but didn't have the picture of my dad & brother. Well, my dad just emailed me this picture of him & my brother.

This year my dad fell and injured his right leg, it was suggested he wear this boot to help with his healing
This summer my brother broke his ankle, sliding into base while playing baseball, he had surgery & it was recommended that he wear this boot



We went to visit my family while they were wearing these boots & when we got home THIS was Nathan for a few weeks (he is wearing an inner boot to some skate we have) pretending to have a "hurt" ankle.
