Nutcracker night

Wade got tickets to the nutcracker for the 3 older kids and me for Saturday night. It was really fun to go to the ballet and share that experience with my kiddos :-)

Delaney was so exited and then she ended up falling asleep about 10 min from the end, it was a late night but we all had a lot of fun :-)

New gloves!

We have really stuggled with Kyle's compression garments. First it took a lot longer than we were first told to get them (months longer). Then when we got the first set they did not fit, the second set the zipper broke with in a week, so we had to send them back, and that took another 2 weeks to get it back. Then the day we got it back the zipper on the other one broke :-(. So we had ordered a second set as recommended by our therapist and on Thursday afternoon we got both sets in the mail, so yesterday was a happy day to have both garments back and Kyle was able to be in both gloves and sleeves yesterday. 

Also on Wednesday afternoon Josh got his Botox injections for his toe walking. He ended up with 6 shots in each calf. He was a trooper and got to go out to lunch with mommy went it was done. 

He said he already feels like it is helping him strech. 

That is a little medical update on the Heath's. 

It's cold!

We have been trying to adjust to cold Ohio winters, it was in the teens during the day and single digits at night. 

Kyle still thinks it is a great time of year to enjoy a slurpee with his siblings

We had a field trip with our co-op to a local planetarium 

Getting home from awana, look snow!

We watched Daddy drive by on the boat one day, it was cold and he could not see us because their windows were iced over

I hope to get Christmas cards out in the next week so be on the look out :-)
