Well its been allot longer than I thought, since I posted on here. Allot has been going on, August Braden started Kinder garden:(. I can not believe that my baby is 5, just does not seem possible. He has adjusted well, however he seems to get in quite abit of trouble through out the day. Although he is getting better. For awhile there was more red writing in his folder than blue. He likes to talk to much, disrupt during rest time, dog pile which is a form of wrestling(I have learned), pat kids on the bottom, kiss the girls, well I could go on and on, but I will spare you. Things have greatly improved, he likes rewards for good behavior, so he trys much harder now.

In Sept. we went to Vegas with 19 other friends. It was a blast. I usually have a hard time relaxing, due to worry about how Braden is doing(and those who are watching him). However...I did none of that.... It was awesome. We also went to Austin with Steves work, where I had a massage and some wonderful food and company we had a great time.

We have also been busy with doctor visits and surgeries. Steve had to have both shoulders rotators cuffs fixed, which went very well. The doctor has said he is about 6 months ahead of most people who have this done. It is remarkable how well he has healed. I credit Jesus for all of this, and lots of prayer. Braden had his 5th set of tubes put in this week and did excellent. He is such a little pro at this however he knows what is to come, which makes it more difficult prior to surgery. All went very well with both, we are very thankful.

Lastly we ask you all to say lots of prayer for Braden, most of you know that Bradens legs are bowed. He has experienced quite a bit of pain through out the year with this. We are flying to Delaware next week to get them fixed. There is a specialist up there who sees lots of little people and will perform surgery on his legs. He will be in cast for 8 weeks(so pray for sanity for Steve and myself) along with quick healing for Braden.

I hope you each have a awesome Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving is a time for giving thanks, and we are truly very thankful for all our blessings.

Steve, Lisa & Braden
