Merry Christmas

Luke's Christmas Concert

Anyone that knows Luke knows that he can be a little shy sometimes. Kindergarten has done wonders for bringing him out of his shell a little. At the Christmas concert I didn't know how he would do because he usually doesn't like a lot of people looking at him. He surprised me when he was in the front row singing, doing all the hand motions and not at all worried about how many people were looking at him. It was soooo cute and I will admit I did get a little teary eyed. (He is the 5th person on the front row wearing the red sweater.)

Trevor

Trevor did a solo at the orchestra Christmas concert. He also got a student of the month award for Respect.

Luke's Thanksgiving feast

They ate popcorn, trailmix and pumpkin pie. Kindergarten is such a fun year!

Happy Halloween

Luke started walking on Halloween day. All it took was some bribery with Halloween candy and a little positive peer pressure (we had lots of friends over that wanted candy too). He had gotten his cast off on the 20th of October, but had been afraid to take steps.

DISNEYLAND

In October we took the kids out of school for a week and took a much needed trip to Southern California. We spent a lot of time at Disneyland. With Luke's wheelchair we were very thankful for Courtesy Vans (handicap vans that can load a wheelchair so you don't have to load them on the tram) and a special pass that let us wait at the exit to make transferring Luke onto the ride easier. It was so much fun!

Happy 5th Birthday LUKE!

Have you ever seen someone so excited about a video game? He got Toy Story Mania for the wii and it has been a favorite at our house since.



Luckily Luke was back in school before his birthday (I go for the first hour and he has an aide for the rest of the day). He got to take cookies and m&ms to share with his classmates.
