Summer Fun

Happy Fathers Day!

I love Chocolate!

Vince really loves to throw rocks, he could do it all day long.

We have been having a great time. So far we have gone up to the cottage 4 times (more on that later) and have gone to the zoo once. We are going to the zoo again tomorrow. We have also gone for many walks and played in the back yard. We even got out the kiddy pool. Vince was not too excited to sit in it, but he did like walking through it. We have not had too many appointments this summer, but we did have a fitting for new braces. He did so great, we watched video's of him walking on my phone and he did not mind what they were doing at all. We will not have the new braces for a few weeks but they will be hinged to allow him more mobility while walking. Vince has been doing very good walking, he is still not doing it independently, but he is cruising on furniture.

As far as the cottage goes, we said good bye to it last weekend (we might still be able to use it this weekend though). After my Grandpa passed away last year it was decided that it would be sold. It has been in my family for 64 years and it is very sad to see it go. After all if we had not had the cottage, Nick and I would not have ever met and Vince would not be here today. There are so many great memories there. We have some very good friends and cousins on the lake that we will be able to visit but it will be different.

Happy 4th of July

Love,

Nick, Andrea, and Vince

Family Pictures

A couple of weeks ago we took some family pictures. I think they turned out pretty good. We decided to try them ourselves this time because Nick got me a very nice camera last year for my birthday. I think we will continue to do it ourselves. We have had a busy month and with summer around the corner I know it will continue to be busy. Vince has been doing very well, he still loves to walk holding onto our hands and we are just waiting for him to decided to do it himself. We know he will be running around in no time at all. We had Myelo clinic a little while ago and it went very well. They were all very happy with the progress he is making and there were really no concerns. The last time we had clinic they noticed his spine was a little curved but this time it looked like it had straitened out. :) We also had a urology appointment and the urologist was happy with how he is doing too. We still do not have to cath him, so that is great! We know we are going to have some challenges in that department in the future, but for now we are just taking it one day at a time. We hope everyone is enjoying spring!

Love,

Nick, Andrea, and Vince
