My big Kindergartner got to make Valentines Cards for his classmates this year.
My boy was so determined to carefully write each and every classmate's name *and sign his own name too! It took him so long, yet he was determined to do it himself.
And he really did. Each and every one. Made me so proud. So thankful that he is able to do things like that. We do not take handwriting for granted in our house. 

A reminder for all of us: cover your cough with your elbow: not your hand. Wash your hands often to reduce the spread of germs. and PLEASE don't go out if you are sick! Having a healthy child that is sick is an inconvenience and not fun.. Having an SMA child that is sick is scary!


Taysen is our 7 year old ray of sunshine living with Spinal Muscular Atrophy type 2. He has a spunk and zest for life like no other and inspires everyone he meets. He has a huge imagination and a great sense of humor...he feels it is his purpose to make people laugh. Taysen loves to drive his powerchair at speed 5, watch movies, play with his toy animals and eat junk food.
River is our 5 year old little sweetheart. He has a sensitive soul, patient and protective of his brother. He is a huge blessing to our family, always ready to give and recieve a hug. He is sometimes called "Running River" as he is always on the go! River likes to play outside where he swings, climbs and gets dirty. He loves books, watching "The Berenstain Bears", and cookies & hot chocolate
