Sam's new bike!

First Day of 2nd Grade at CCHS!

Time for a new buzz!

Sam's Education Assistant Kathie graciously comes over to cut Sam's hair at our house! As you might imagine, he is a bit challenging when it comes to hair cuts!

Weekend in Watertown

We traveled to Watertown for the first time in a year! Sam did very well and we had a great time with Grammy and Grandpa Horstmeyer, Auntie Lori, Uncle Patrick and cousins Maggie and Molly!

Astronaut Curt Brown visits CCHS!

Sertoma Butterfly House Field Trip

Bowling Fun!

We had a fun field trip to Empire Bowl and Sam bowled a 133! He had a bit of help aiming the ball, but he managed to push the ball and knock down the pins! He mostly enjoyed hearing everyone cheer for him, I think! He had his own cheering section with Grandpa John, Grandma Donna, Mom and Dad! We had more family members watching Sam than CCHS had staff to go with three kids! We had a great time and hope to go again soon!

April Updates

Sam is doing great!!! He continues to struggle with ear infections often, but has been much healthier this winter than last year. School is going well and we can't say enough wonderful things about the staff working with him at Children's Care! Sam has been working hard and learning all kinds of new things! Our biggest excitement is his continued success with the potty chair! His other big news is that he is beginning to eat with silverware all by himself! With assistance for loading the fork or spoon, he is learning to bring the utensil to his mouth by himself. The staff at school have worked hard to implement a program to teach Sam to sit quietly and it is working! We have been able to attend church and sit through the entire service with our boy! He still likes to sing with the choir once in awhile, but we love his joyful noises!
The slide show contains pictures of St. Patrick's Day, fun Friday afternoons at school, visits with both Grandmas and rooting for North Carolina with Daddy! Jeff gives Sam a play by play throughout the games and he loves it! Kathie is Sam's special EA at school and we are so thankful for her!
Thank you for continuing to pray for Sam and our family!
