Brooks' Femer

Brooks had been complaining about once a week about his neck hurting but he never sat out of wanted me to rub it.   Then about 2 weeks ago it was much more frequently and he even played down twice to rest it. 

So we took him to some good friends at their chiropractor clinic.  A few external observations showing his left shoulder being higher than his right prompted x-rays which led to a diagnosis go a short left femur.  This is causing his hips, back and neck all to overcompensate.   He has been a trooper.  He will have to wear a lift in his shoe for life and he has been getting adjusted regularly.    I am so thankful for the prompt diagnosis and care he has gotten.  

Check out the progression of his shoulder in just the first month!

Leighton is Eight

Leighton picked Taki Habachi Grill for his birthday day for the second year running.  Let's hope this tradition continues.  I love everything about going there for birthdays.  

He is really a remarkable kid.  He is so smart.  He is independent.  He is cuddly. 

We love him so much.

Easter

Neve is ONE

Neve turned One year old.  She of course will have no recollection of this monuments event, but I think most the rest of us will.  It is so fun to watch a baby open presents and eat cake for the first time.  The kids were so great at helping her open and enjoy her presents.  They love her so much.  They were genuinely so happy for her to be having a birthday!  

Basketball Season

All 3 boys played basketball.  Brooks was on his own team and Luke coached him.  He was a offensive star.  He wasn't however quite so natural at defense.

Leighton and McCabe were on the 1st/2nd grade team.  The did a wonderful job!  They knew kids on almost all the team that they played against, so it was a fun season!
