Olivers 2

Oliver gives us more smiles and deep belly laughs then anybody could have ever dreamed of.  He is smart, funny, loving, kind and strong willed. We wouldn't change anything about him. He has shown us what life is truly all about. To never give up and to smile through all things. You are a well loved little boy.

I wish I would have known how great life would be with you. Spina Bifida is a part of him, it always has been and always will be, and we love every bit of him. Can’t believe you're 2 already.  Happy 2nd Birthday, Oliver! I love you more than you will ever truly know.


We did a doughnut cake as Oliver loves doughnuts. He got pretty excited when he saw all the doughnuts.

2 Year Myelo Clinic

Josh took Oliver to Myelo Clinic this past week ( it's hard not going to Oliver's appointment with him). It’s crazy to think that we have been making regular trips to the Alberta Children’s Hospital for two years now. Oliver loved rolling around in his zipzac. Much easier to move around on the hospital floors. Oliver got a prescription for a new set of AFOs and we need to keep monitoring him as we have been doing (Oliver had a ultrasound of his bladder, there was some sediments in his bladder which means he doesn't totally empty his bladder... so the doctor doesn't want to catheter yet until he has an actual UTI). Doctors are pleased with his progress. Our main focus for the next 6 months is physiotherapy and speech therapy.

The day after Myelo clinic this is all Oliver wanted to do. Sit and snuggle me. I think he missed me just a bit.

Lacey's Special Day

Lacey is loving kindergarten! She loves her teacher, Mrs DeJong. She was so happy that she got the same teacher as Lincoln did for kindergarten... And I was too. Lacey was a bit nervous about starting kindergarten and I knew of she the same teacher as Lincoln it would make the transition so much easy. Mrs DeJong is one amazing teacher and I can't same enough good about her. Lacey loves going school and spending her days with Mrs DeJong. She loves to learn, make new friends and have fun. 

Each student gets a special day about once a month. Lacey looks forward to these days. It's the day where they get to be the leader and help the teacher out and invite someone to come with her to school.

How's my little girl growing up so fast?
