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.

Luke got a new set of wheels (and a red cast)!

It was moving day, and life has a way of not going smoothly for us...


The cabinet that tipped over on Luke.


Yep, broken in 3 places!


He got to pick the color. They cast it with his knee bent so that he can't put any weight on it.


We had some rough days, but I am amazed at how well he is doing just a few weeks later.He can get himself around in his wheelchair (it is pretty cute to watch). Our thanks to everyone who dropped everything and helped us get through our move. : ) We wouldn't have made it without you guys (and everyone who helped before the broken leg). I am thankful we were close to the end when it broke instead of just beginning, and that Luke was ok (it could have been a lot worse).

First day of School.

All smiles in the morning. Trevor starting Middle School - 7th grade. Jake is starting 4th grade and Luke is starting Kindergarten.


When Luke realized mom was not staying at Kindergarten.

Luke had a rough few days, but is going great in Kindergarten.
