A Year in Review!!

Can’t believe it’s been over a year since we have updated our blog.

Jake is doing awesome!!  He is our energetic, smart, artistic, kind, courageous, funny and loving 5 (almost 6) year old.  He has grown SO much over this last year.   

Here is our year in review…

                                                2013

March- We get news from Dr. Paley that Jake is able to be full weight bearing on his new hip!  Jake is so excited to walk again and says he feels great!

 

Also in March- One of Charles great Friends Katie Hunter helped arrange a benefit for Jake Called Bowl for Jake... It was so incredibly heart warming to see all of our friends and family surround us with support and donations for Jakes surgery.  We are so blessed!!!  Thank you again to everyone who was involved (near and far)!! And a special thanks to Katie, Joelle and Cean, for all of your hard work and kindness!
