Week Full of Fun

Wednesday evening Joshua received his Tenderfoot and another merit badge at the Scout Court of Honor.

He got to go skiing for the first time ever this week with the school and loved it!
He also made Honor Roll for the second quarter in a row!


Matthew has had a busy week as well. He enjoyed very much his Pinewood Derby on Thursday.



Here he is enjoying his day off from school on Friday. This is his favorite place to go. We arrived at 8 am and left at 4 pm. He walks right in...makes himself comfortable and gets busy with crafts and anything else they will fetch for him. He even got to meet this cute little dog and won BINGO! He had the growth hormone test which involved fasting, an IV, a whole lot of blood, and a couple of different drugs that made him really sleepy and weak. He was very excited to be able to eat what little fat free food we could come up with when the test was over. It is common to faint after this test for up to 12 hours so Matthew had to be monitored closely and someone with him at all times. His blood pressure, temperature and heart rate got really low so we had to stay extra to watch and make sure they were coming back up. We won't have results for about 4 weeks.

Noah never gets posted about because he is so great and healthy. He continues to do wonderfully in school and can't wait for HIS pinewood derby which will not be for two more years.

And...here is Isaac...in his new glasses...that of course, he is already looking over the top...or tearing them off his face. This will be fun!
