A Final Post :( & Some Holiday Fun

So I'll start off with the disappointing news that I am going to take down this blog in the coming week. With intentional effort to simplify my life, try and give back some time to us, and take some pressure I put on myself to do so much, I have decided that blending this blog with my Hobby Collector blog makes the most sense. We want to stay connected with family and friends who appreciate the updates on all that we do so I will transfer all of the posts here to my other blog and continuing posting there. If you want to follow what we (and G) are up to please bookmark that site, follow it by email (find a ways down on the right hand side of the blog), or add the Hobby Collector to your feed reader.

Before we officially say goodbye I thought you might like to see how G spent his Christmas. We had a great Holiday even with a little cough. Legos and Ninja Turtles were the biggest hits but G loved everything.

We are lucky to have so many people that love us and give so much. We wish everyone a wonderful New Year and I hope that you decide to follow our lives through my Hobby Collector blog in the future.

Trip to the Big City

Last week we made a trip to KC for G's follow-up MRI six months after surgery. He was such a great sport and worked with everyone without a complaint. We were amazed at how much he has grown up since his MRI last year.

He had an OT appointment before going in for the MRI. The therapist was very happy with his range of motion and strength. She feels like the skin color and scar tissue will continue to improve for up to a year after surgery. We did order a new glove. He requested black with Batman on it. He earned the medal for being so good.

Greyson's MRI followed and took about 2 hours. The interventional radiologist read the scans after and didn't find anything he felt like needed to be taken care of now. He does have some tissue filling up in his bicep area but it isn't bothering him. We sent everything on to Nationwide Children's docs in Columbus, OH and will wait to hear what they have to say. If there will be any follow-up treatments we will let you know.

We finished up our trip with a visit to the bookstore...

and PF Chang's where G learned how to use his chopsticks...

...and he did a little reading on the way home. 

The day was fun for sure.

We Have a Swimmer

Maybe not a real swimmer yet, but we have a little boy who goes underwater on his own and LOVES it! Michael (and me sometimes) have taken him swimming a few times over the last few weeks and he is doing so great. It really has us looking forward to summer at the lake.

The Shoe Influence

Daddy's shoes are perfect with the overalls.

I guess if Michael wears flip flops to take the trash out G would think he had to as well.
