Inspired


Nate, today you were flipping through a book of pictures by Tim Burton and decided that you wanted to draw a picture and mail it to him with the message, "I like your art". Here is your picture "Gravestealer" showing "an alien who always wanted to be famous and is stealing bones for his invention".

Ben's birthday party @ school

Nate reading to dogs at the Cranford library

Nate's first teeball game


Your team was the "Tides" and you played right field in your first game and even caught a ground ball and threw it to first base! Dad was your team's coach and was so proud of you as you hit the ball both times at bat from a pitch instead of the tee!

Unstoppable Ben

Ben, we are amazed at you! You have adjusted to your cast so fast and so well that it doesn't stop you from doing anything...including dancing, drawing, playing, rough housing, going to school or even walking on a balance beam! Your have an incredible ability to adapt and keep a great attitude!

We've been scaring each other with bedtime tales of the "iceman" who visits our house on snowy nights. Nate and Ben asked for proof and so we set a motion-sensor camera and got this picture. Now we're really scared!
