December 31, 2017 "Miracle Walking Videos"

Rayden sure has come a long way with his forearm crutches (Henry's) in just a three months. 

9-3-17 Walking and TALKING outside with Henry's 

9-10-17 First time walking with Henry's at church 

Turning 3 years old gave Rayden a whole new sense of bravery. Right after his birthday he started taking independent steps WITHOUT his walker or Henry's. He has taken as many as 10 steps before he looses his balance and falls. I love having a front row seat to watch God's miraculous power.

December 23, 2017 "Rayden turns 3"

I cannot, cannot, cannot believe my baby is 3 years old!!!!! Where has the time gone? 

We had Rayden's tractor themed birthday party Oct. 7. Rayden rode down the street to his party on a green John Deere tractor, thanks to our friends Gary and Rhonda Moore!

 

 

December 9, 2017 "Shriner's Christmas Party"

Being invited to the Dunn Shriner's Annual Christmas Party was surely a treat. They had games, prizes, food, treats, and of course, CLOWNS and SANTA. I didn't know how Rayden would react to the clowns. He surprised us all. He absolutely loved them and I believe the feeling was mutual. These men were so sweet, loving and attentive to these childrens' special needs. It really blessed us to see Rayden so happy. 

Rayden was the first to go sit with Santa. He told him all about the book bag he wants for Christmas and Santa gave him three gifts. It was truly a memorable event for our family.
