His favorite position was definitely goalie.

Michael had a great Halloween. He dressed up as Bumblebee (a Transformer - go figure) and actually got a lot of use out of his costume. First there was a church school party, then a Boy Scout party to which we took ...

On a side note - Michael received his beads from Beads of Courage today. If you haven't checked out their website, click on the link in my sidebar and check them out - it is an incredible program. Michael and I will be stringing his beads to represent the time line of events he has gone through for the last 2 years. I will post a picture when we are done.
We have our appointment with Michael's neurologist next week, I will let you know how we make out. Please keep Michael in your thoughts and prayers, JoAnne.

I'm really glad to see your family is doing well, especially Michael. I remember when he was only 3, maybe 4? He has grown beautifully... boy, how time flies. He was such a smart and spirited boy then, I can't imagine how he is now. You are truly blessed with what you have. He looks just like you, and a lot like his older brother.
Congratulations to Jenny. And also congratulations to Brian. I hope you both are very happy, you deserve it.
And to you, Joanne and Jeff, it seems as though you are increasingly growing in happiness. I hope it continues. Keep your spirits high and take care of yourself and your amazing miracle of a son.
Keep up the posts! It makes us that take things for granted, appreciate the little and big things in life.
God Bless You,
An old friend
