On Halloween we had General Grievius, Harry Potter and a Power Ranger visit our house.

We have been enjoying this year and time is going so fast. Ben is enjoying being in the 3rd grade and is doing very well. He has started 4-H this year and will be doing archery and shotgun. Isaac is kindergarten. He is adjusting very well to staying in school all day. Last but not least Luke is also doing well. He just had his hole closed up where his trach was and we could not be happier. He is making a lot of progress. Jason and I just go back from a Desiring God conference for disabled children. It was a much needed time to get perspective on God's plan for the disabled. It was a positive excperience and glad we went. We are very blessed to have Luke in our family and actually be able to witness the improvement that Luke makes. Hoping you all have a Happy Thanksgiving!

 

 

 

 

 

 

What's new?

Luke and Aunt Emily playing together. Everytime we asked Luke if he

wanted to it again he would nod his head.

Very cute!!

Luke was in another very funny mood this day and found

his Aunt Emily very halarious.

                                              He laughed everytime he looked at her face! :)

Ben recently made an army cake for cub scouts. He has

 been having a lot of fun being in cub scouts.

Ben participated in the Pinewood Derby Race in January

and did very well! He place first 7 out of 8 times! :)

This is Isaac's word wall that he created. After learning a letter a week and some work on starfall.com and abcmouse.com Isaac can read!!! Sooo proud of him!

Happy New Year!!

We made it through 2011! Jason and I had had a rough last month but both of us are much better.  The boys have been staying healthy so far. We managed to have Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's Eve celebrated at our house. So no traveling for us. Woohoo! It has been fun having the boys at home for Christmas break but they go back to school this Wednesday. We are thankful for everything we have been given. I know that 2012 will be full of many blessings too.

Luke and I will be very busy in January. He will see, the cardiologist, ENT, pediatrition, and first eye doctor appt, swallow study, VCG test on kidey's, and surgery on testicles and circumsition, along with Speech therapy, physical therapy and hopefully developemental therapy will start too. The last report we got from his cardiologist in November was a good one. He said that the condition of his heart has improved. Luke has also started swallowing more with his tastings. I am very hopeful by summer time they will take out the trach. :)

I know a lot of times many people make new year resolutions. It always seems a little intimidating to me to make one. However, I do have small goals made for 2012. I hope that the new year is good to you and that you will be successful in accomplishing your new years resolution!
