Frog and Toad

Haley J had her debut on the stage recently when she joined the cast of "Frog and Toad". She played one of the five moles and did an excellent job. Moms would find me after the performances and ask if "the blonde one with spirit" was mine. I of course said yes and then they'd end with, "well, I think she's found her niche." During her week away all day she not only found her niche but also learned how to run her pump all by herself! We had practiced at home prior to the play and the new administration in charge of the theatre was "coincidentally" very familiar with T1D and pumps (tender mercy, tender mercy, tender mercy) so this little thing took charge of herself and made certain her sugars stayed level. It was an awesome experience for her all around.

Now He's NINE

This cool kid turned 9 years old a few weeks back. We celebrated with our good friends at the movies, then returned home for cake, ice cream, and Thatcher's favorite part....PRESENTS! This little boy has been such a blessing to our family. He's sandwiched in between two girls on both sides and does a wonderful job of being brother, protector, and playmate to all. Happy Birthday Thatcher Boy!

Fun Fourth Celebrations

Kadyn baked, then we headed over to our good friends the Rodriguez family to swim, eat, play, and watch THE best fireworks show EVER! Joe and his neighbor really outdid themselves this year. I'm not kidding. They'll have to get a permit (and a large stadium) for anything bigger. It was AWESOME!
