Hello again!



This adorable picture of Xavier is one I took on my cell phone, and I scrapbooked it today. I really like how it turned out!

So I'm finally getting back to my blog, after the craziness of this summer. All of you who read this probably already know, but just in case someone missed it, our little Xavier guy passed away in July. We miss him always, of course, but feel comforted in the gospel of Jesus Christ, knowing that because of what He did, we can be together forever someday.

I also have a tryptic (a 3-piece) digital artwork I am working on right now that I'll be posting to my art blog soon. I finished the first segment yesterday evening. I am so excited about it! I loooooove making art. It so freeing; I can express myself so well through it. You know what? I don't want to wait to show you the painting I made yesterday, after all, so I'll post it to my art blog after this. Stay tuned! :D

Toddler Property Laws

One of Xavier's helpers gave us this cute list a while ago, and I thought I'd share.


1. If I like it, it's mine.
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine.
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine.
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine.
5. If it's mine, it must never appear to be yours in any way.
6. If I'm doing or building something, all the pieces are mine.
7. If it looks like mine, it's mine.
8. If I saw it first, it's mine.
9. If you are playing with something and you put it down, it automatically becomes mine.
10. If it's broken, it's yours. (No, the pieces are probably still mine.)

WHEELCHAIR!!!

We got Xman's wheelchair on Tuesday! It came faster than expected! It is AWESOME!!
Look at some of its wonderful features:

It flexes with his movement.
(It might be hard to tell in these pictures,
but in the lower pic,
he is stretching backwards a bit.)

The handle folds down, too,
which helps get it in the van.
The wheels also pop off for this purpose.
It has metal loops to anchor the chair into our van.
It has a tray for him to play/eat on.


And so much more! We are thrilled!

lol



It's also a good color scheme.

They originally told us it would be a teal/purple/blue color palette! Yuk!

We think he enjoys his "big boy chair". It's just great.

I'm just happy Medicaid paid for it! (It cost around $7000!!!! )

In any event, it is great to have it here for him.

Look at the website for the company it was ordered from:

Daddy and sonny time

TJ was playing with Xavier. It was so cute!





Mmm, tasty!
(I was watching carefully so Xavier
didn't actually bite himself!
That would have been a sad surprise!)


"Dad, I want some real food!"
