Beginning of Spring.

It's been almost 2 months since i have posted ! We have been enjoying this weather! It has felt so good and the time changed so it gets darker later now, not until about 830. We didn't really have a Winter this year. Our flowers and trees are coming out beautifully!

This was the other day, it was a little cool, in the 60's, but Sam was enjoying it. Check out the heel to toe steps she is taking. Being a spina bifida mom, we pay attention to things like that, that most people wouldn't even notice :)




This was Wednesday, it was really nice that evening!







James and Sammy , mind you these pics were fairly hard to get because they were all giggles and laughs. . .




My favorite. . . some brotherly love . . . .


This right here is my little buddy, those hugs and those deep blueish gray eyes are always welcome
and never ever get old. I love him!


I think I'm going to get back into some photography this year, excited about that. Hopefully I'll get back into keeping this blog up more.

As far as our journey on stem cells , I spoke with Dr. Perez at Regenerative Medicine Institute in Mexico, he was the nicest person i have talked to during this whole thing. He was down to earth, joked, and said He gives all of his patients their own bullet proof donkey and AKA 47 as soon as they cross the border, LOL! Definitely quite the comedian and aware of many of the concerns of Americans coming into Mexico! A great part of this facility is we can use Samantha's own cord blood for her treatments whereas China does not allow that, you have to use donated Chinese cord blood.

So , i guess, in the meantime, we are still raising funds and exploring options for stem cell treatments before we make our final decision and of course Samantha will have to be approved by the facility physicians.

Our BBQ was very successful and our next fundraiser is April 21 our Charity Poker Run , the facebook event link is  here . there is gonna be a bunch of prizes , silent auction, food, music, and more. .
