Birthday wishes

Birthday wishes

Today is a glorious day, Little Man came into our lifes changing it forever. He opened our eyes to a wonderous new world. Because of Little Man I have meet some of the most fasinating & wonderful people.  Every day for the last 9 years has been adventure, some good, some bad but all well worth it.  They say having a baby changes your life, Little Man did that to the good.

Thank you God for giving us one of the greatest gifts ever, the other great gift is Trey……..

Twice blessed in one lifetime – God is awesome!!

Happy Birthday Little Man!!

Bowling

Bowling

Well Little Man has started bowling season again. He loves to bowl and missed the last time because of the leg surgery. He is a true bowler, rolling it down the ramp with out the assistance of bumpers. He had a good night and we look forward to next week. He will be bowling the day before his 9th birthday–whoo hoo he is growing up!!

What’s been going on…..

What’s been going on…..

Well what has been going on, so much but not enough to overwhelm you :-)   Little Man has been somewhat busy or at least mommy has LOL!  We had a good summer, keeping up with therapy, swimming & an adventure here and there.

We went for a couple of days to Maggie Valley, NC to explore & visit Catalooche Valley which is right down the road.  We got to see some huge elk & luckly we did get a brief peek at a mama bear & her three cubs. They were wandering along the tree line in the valley.  When we get another camper we are definitely going to have to stay at the campground in Catalooche Valley.  We attempted to go down a trail to see a historic homesite and actually managed to get Little Man’s wheelchair quite a distance down the trail even crossing the creek one time but at the second creek crossing the path turned into another creek so our journey ended.  We found some letterboxes while in Maggie Valley & the nearby town. The weather was so much cooler that so it was fun.  We were hoping to take Little Man to Ghost Town but apparently it has closed down for good-such a shame, that was a great adventure.

Little Man got to go to camp this year.  He went to Camp New Adventure for a week.  He absolutely loves this camp because he gets to spend time with his friends, swim everyday & make neat crafts.  If he could tell me I bet he would have had a story to tell everyday-he was always wound up & excited each day.

I have just started a Girl Scout troop for girls with special needs.  I have 4 girls so far & we are so excited about what’s to come.  I know you’re wondering why am I doing girl scouts when I have boys, do I need say more LOL!  I love working/bonding with girls and look forward to the great adventures that we will be exploring.  Of course I will be introducing them to letterboxing.  I can’t wait to help them pick a design and carve their stamps.  I can see the excitement already when they find a box.  It will be great.  I am hoping to get sponsors to help buy things for the girls because some of them are low income but I don’t want them to miss out.

Little Man starts bowling league this week.  He missed out last time because of the leg surgery which he recouped from wonderfully.  I am hoping my niece, Willow, will be his partner. He loves to bowl.

Well that is about it for now except Little Man’s birthday is coming up soon.  I think we are going to take him somewhere this year and do a big celebration next year since it will be the big “10″.  Where do all the years go???? Trey will be “21″ next year.. Time is flying tooooooo fast!

More to come & I will try to make myself update more often.

Later!
