Matt

New Glasses

Adam has new glasses!





He really doesn't want them, upset he has to wear them, and we're constantly having to find where he sat them down. We're hoping he get's used to having them soon.

He's definately able to write better, and reading is much easier now. We think things will get even better as he gets used to them.

Matt's New Wheelchair

What a busy day yesterday was! On his second day of school, Matt woke up and could not use his left leg. He was in so much pain he could not even support himself enough to go to the bathroom. After spending the entire day in hospitals, specialists and driving all over, we finally found out what was wrong. Luckilly, it's just an infection, and he will get better. He will be missing a week or two of school, but other than that will be just fine. I think the hardest part will be him not being able to RUN or walk at all for a week or two!

Here's Matt with his new "wheels"!





Yep. He's wearing the SAME clothes as the day before. I thought about making him change just for pictures, but he's hurting and I dont have the heart to do it right now. So there he is, just keeping it real. LOL

Back to School!!

Notice the Boot? Yep, a week before school starts, he sprains his foot!



Here's Ben in his classroom!

Matthew's Pre-K Graduation and Adam's Photo Shoot

Thursday night was Matt's Pre-K Graduation! It was so great to see him get that diploma. Video is here, but pictures are coming. We accidentally forgot to bring the memory stick for the camera, but another parent took pics for us and promised to send them to us shortly. We'll update with pictures as soon as possible.


Friday night, we met with a photographer to take some family portraits. Adam has always been fascinated with photography, so he was taking as many pictures as possible, paying close attention to how the photographer did things. Here are a few of Adam's pictures. We'll update with pics from the OTHER photographer later when he gets them ready.









This one is fuzzy, but I just love this picture Adam took.







Ben took this one





I (Dana) took this one

Campin with the Scouts

Just got back from a fun weekend camping with the cub scouts! We had a great camp out a Camp Wisdom. Lots of things for the kids to explore and enjoy. Pirate Ships, Man made cave, a plane, archery range, BB gun range, castle, Cowboy & Indian fort etc. We didn't get to everything this one camp out, but here's a few pictures of some of the things we did.
