Let the fun Begin




We have the news about when Gregg will be leaving for basic training, November 18. It all feels a little more real now that we know when he's leaving. Currently we are working as a family to get all of the big projects done (like finishing the fence around the house) before Gregg takes off. MaKayla and Brenix have no idea, of course, about whats going to happen, but Gregg and I are currently working on things for the kids so it won't be that big of a shock when he's gone. I think Gregg feels pretty silly reading story's and talking to a video camera, but we're hoping he's discomfort now will prevent tears from MaKayla later.

MaKayla Started school two weeks ago and should not be any happier. Her teacher says that Mak is following school rules really well, is playing well with the other kids, and is doing most of the work that is put before her. A great improvement from last year. MaKayla is always more happy when she is in school, and is always more than happy to show off her drawings and paintings to anyone who comes to see us.

Brenix has now past off all of his goals in physical theripy. A year ago all the doctors were scared that he would never be able to crawl let alone walk. And now Brenix is running circles around MaKayla. If nothing else, Brenix is sure proof in this world and miricals still happen.

Wow! that's great that you are using the video camera to get some messages for the kids. What a great thing to do I am sure it will help the transition. Change is always hard so it's great your working on things to help ease it a little.
