Caves

So I found some caves in our neighborhood... I'm not sure what they're about. If anyone could help me out feel free to comment! I'm very interested in what they're all about...





Update: Someone was kind enough to tell me more about these!
The top one: The small kanji on the right designates that this is a place of prayer, the katakana down the middle is Okinawan language, it says Ubuga, which is the name of an old well.
The bottom one with the building behind it:  again it's a place of prayer but this one says Kumaya-gama, which is a cave where people took refuge during WWII
Thanks so much to Maurice in the Photokinawa group for helping me figure out what these are about!

    I also live in the area and stumbled across the cave and did some searching. I read that all who took refuge In the cave survived and it's considered a very spiritual place. They also found artifacts and bones Inside dating more than 2000 years old.

      Interesting... it looks like at one time they did tours through the cave there are cement steps and hand railings- but now it's all locked up. I'd love to know more about it!

Kindergarten!

Well... we've got ourselves a kindergartener! I can't hardly believe it! Time sure does fly by. Keira's Cochlear Implant was finally approved and authorized and we now have ourselves an implant date! Tricare ended up denying her twice and her Dr had to schedule a peer to peer with United healthcare/Tricare. Everything seems to be on track now though. I'll try to keep on top of updating the blog after the implant to show her progress :) K for Kindergarten! :) Pledge of Allegiance at the flag ceremony

7 months post activation

So we are at almost 7 months post activation with Keira's Cochlear Implant. Since the 3rd mapping her vocalizations and attempted words have grown so much! She now wears both her Neptune and her Naida processors. She still prefers the Neptune but she is much more tolerable of her Naida. She is also wearing her hearing aid with her Cochlear implant more and more. She still doesn't tolerate the hearing aid in the car for long periods but she does great at her toddler class and during speech with the aid. She is becoming more and more aware of music and likes to dance now! :) Her sign vocabulary is steadily growing too as is mine! Just the other day during her toddler class she impressed me so much! They take the kids out one at a time and do a "focus" time which is similar to speech and lasts about 15 minutes. We were reading a book with Keira that had flaps and there was a frog and our specialist was telling her "Jump, jump, jump" & Keira picked up the bo...

Comprehensive

So Saturday evening we went down to Comprehensive park to check it out and see what it was all about. The park has a WHOLE lot to offer! There are TONS of stuff, we only saw about a 1/4 of the park. Peyton got to play her little heart out! As for Tabby, he's still on 6 pills a day. He seems to be getting some of his spunk back...we've got another appointment on Saturday for an ultrasound to check his heart. I went bow crazy and got Peyton this headband. I have other pics I will post later. Playing hard! Loving on Tabby.
