Brennan's Journey

The support Brennan has received is overwhelming and incredibly humbling. There is a growing number of people who are asking us how they can help Brennan through his journey and our main focus and priority continues to be prayer for Brennan, his overall health and for the doctors. But so many people are wanting to help even more. For those that feel led to help Brennan financially, a "donate" button is now available. It is linked directly to a special account for Brennan and his long road ahead. Any amount is greatly appreciated. I wish there were words to express our gratitude for all of the support and prayers B is receiving. Thank you to all and God Bless.

Last month in a nutshell

Here are a few...okay more than a few pictures of the last few weeks...



Daily morning time eating Cheerios



When Grandma Givens is in town...the grandkids get the special mall treatment!

B is so excited about our new flowers




Celebrating B's birthday in his Monday class with his friends



Blowing out his candle in his Friday class

B loves airplanes



B's favorite shopping cart at the store (huge and hard to turn, but worth the fun they have together in it)


We got B a bike for his birthday (his first real bike)!



Celebrating his birthday in his Wednesday class



B's 3 year old Dr. appt. He was able to bring his monkey with him (which he is only allowed to sleep with).... Monkey went with him to his CT scan and will be with him for his upcoming surgeries



Joel's mom came to town to watch the kiddos while Joel and I were able to go to Vegas for a few days. This was what I did most afternoons :)

Our church had a concert and they let the kids try the instruments after. B had a blast trying them! He loves music! Drums are his favorite so far



Trying out the trumpet



Violin time



Trying the harp



B's graduation day in his class. He has been going to this class for 1 1/2 years. I can't believe this day has already come. Both Grandma's were able to go!



His scrapbook his teachers made for him containing pictures since he was 18 months old





Such a happy boy!

B loves snack time

So, Faith turned 1... B turned 3... and in between that I turned, well, let's just say that I had a birthday too.
Joel and I got to go to Vegas for 5 days WITHOUT the kiddos. Joel had classes for work to attend so I tagged along. He had classes from 9-4ish everyday so that gave me time to just workout and layout. I was able to meet him for his 1 1/2 hour lunch break every day and we were able to go to movies and nice dinners at night. It was such an amazing time to reconnect and we thank Joel's mom for watching our kiddos for us!
B has been attending classes on Wednesdays and Fridays for 1 1/2 years through a program offered for children with a variety of special needs. We have enjoyed the past 18 months so much and have met so many wonderful parents and amazing children. Brennan, Joel and I have gained lifelong friends through the program. It is sad that he graduated but we know it is time for him to move on to preschool.
Update on Faith: she is doing awesome! Her hospital stay was almost 3 weeks ago. She is like a whole different child now. She is eating great, sleeping great and much happier. I can't wait for her 15 month appointment (next month) to see how much she has gained!
Oh, and watch out...she is almost walking!
Next adventure: Potty training B. Wish me luck :)
