We had clinic a month ago and everything went really well while we were out there. Everything was relatively stable and we got some hopeful news that the boys may be able to get their Covid vaccine by this summer. So everything went really well. And when we came back I had renewed energy to … Continue reading Wrestling??
Clinic Time Again
We’ve been kinda busy around here. Both boys had basketball, Cole’s continuing and Cade’s starting after Christmas. Cade decided to be the student manager for the 7th grade basketball team.

Endings and Beginnings
Hope. Hope for the future. That is how I am choosing to begin this post. I have great hope in our future. And while it is going to look radically different for us, I still hold onto hope.

September is Muscular Dystrophy Awareness Month. In just 6 more days we will celebrate World Duchenne Awareness Day. And so this month we ask that you remember us and other families like us as we soldier on in this journey. Many of the families we have met became blind sided with their diagnosis.

Shirt Time!!
September is quickly approaching and I had some big plans originally for Labor Day as it is World Duchenne Awareness Day. I had originally thought we would hold a 5k/walk of some sort and then we would also have t-shirts. But God has bigger plans than we do and so we are going with the … Continue reading Shirt Time!!
All Call For Masks
This is going to be a short post. I shared this on my personal Facebook page first and now I’m going to get this message out here. I am going to say something about masks.
