Sunshine

The weather is gorgeous right now and we are taking advantage of it.  Flu season is still at full speed so no outings around other people but we are sure enjoying talking lots of walks.  Junior also got to hang out on his swing.  Can't believe we are seeing temps in the 70s in February.

Junior ready to get outside.

There is a big field with a really nice, paved, walking trail behind our apartment complex which both Junior and Yonder love.  We are usually over there walking daily and it is a great place to let Yonder run and get some energy out. 
 
 
 

Yesterday enjoying a little time in his swing.
  
This pic made me laugh because I know why Yonder was not sleeping like he had been earlier.  One of my neighbors has a cat who likes to come visit.  It was sitting on a step just out of Yonders reach and meowing and grooming itself, basically teasing the poor dog.  The nice thing was watching Junior, my boy with a severe cat phobia, laughing about the whole thing.  Since getting Yonder he has not freaked out about cats(seeing one even at a distance was cause for total panic) and knows Yonder will keep them away(lol, don't tell him that Yonder likes cats and just wants to play with them). 
 
 
 It turning warm so quickly isn't doing good things for Junior's allergies but he is determined to still go outside.  Allergy meds and extra treatments are helping him continue to enjoy being outside we just have to take breaks and be sure his lungs are staying clear. 

This boy is rocking 8months and 1 week seizure free and we have the go ahead from neuro to continue his medication wean.  I am totally amazed that I am even able to contemplate the possibility of getting him off seizure meds.  Junior has always had a big personality and shown us he was smarter than people assume but as the meds are decreased that personality and intelligence are shining through even brighter.

Hi Junior!!!

Wow, 8 months without a seizure! CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's so good to see you smiling so much. I bet Yonder has something to do with that, too, huh?!?

David fell off his recumbent bike a week ago and broke both bones in his wrist. When Roz got to him, she licked his face...David was crying and Roz knew he needed some encouragement. She was a big help to David in the emergency room, too.

Keep up the good work! Our allergies have kicked up too with all this warm weather...will be praying this season might be easier on you.

Can't wait to see you at camp!

Love,
The Hills
Steve, Nancy, David, Philip, and Roz

Such great news about the meds and seizures! I'm so glad Yonder is turning into a great companion for Jr. Every boy needs a dog!
