A Time to be Thankful~

We are all feeling how incredibly fortunate we are to be where we are and enjoying the people who are around us and everything that we have.

This last year has brought us so many reasons to be thankful.

Elliot's surgery has brought him along so much this year.  His physical therapy has been amazing in helping him develop the muscles in his feet and legs that have not been there.  He is able to move and walk up and down stairs so much more easily!

If we would not have moved here, we wouldn't have been in a position to have a foot doctor as one of my student's parents.  We were able to have him looked at and get the types of tests we needed to see exactly the direction we needed to go to ensure the best outcome for him.  For these things we are thankful.  His comfort level at school in giving presentations and participating in sports has been amazing!  Makes his mama and papa proud every.single.day!

Braden has completely grown into his own person here.  It has been so amazing to watch him take that step into a middle school as a sixth grader and not know a SINGLE person.  He has taken each step and tried new things with enthusiasm and energy.  The base of friends that he has built is impressive in a school that is bigger than the entire school district we moved from.  He is comfortable in his own likes and dislikes and even helps give direction to others in various scenarios.  Makes a mama and papa proud...  So thankful, he has been given the opportunity to be the best that he can be.

Having the opportunity to move here and take risks, try new things, go to new places and meet new people ~ for this we are thoroughly thankful!

We are so thankful that we are able to fly back to Colorado for Christmas this year.  There are so many family members that we haven't seen since we moved away.  We can't wait to see everyone!

Hope to maybe see some of you while we are out there!  We will be staying in Longmont December 19th to the 25th.
