It's too cold for TBall

Yesterday Jackson's TBall practice was canceled due to the wind and chilly weather. So.......we got the paints out and the boys had a creative evening painting. They loved the idea of painting on wood and the pictures turned out great! Now.....where to hang them???

Dino Museum with Nona

While we were at the feeding clinic today Nona took Jackson to the Fernbank Science Center. He had a great time exploring and asking Nona lots and lots of questions!

Eating Update

Hello-
We wanted to let everyone know that Cason's evaluation today went great! We met with two Psychologists, a Speech Therapist, and a Nutritionist. After a couple hours of talking and watching Cason they decided that we should begin once a week treatments with the Behavioral Psychologist. They also gave us several tips to help make mealtime easier for Cason. We are excited about the once a week schedule because Cason will be at home for most meals and won't have to miss school or much of his normal routine. We can't wait for him to eat normally and we feel like this is a big step toward that goal. Thanks so much for your continued prayers!

Eat, Cason, Eat!

Hey Everybody,
Hope that you are all doing great. We wanted to ask for your prayers this week for Cason as he has his feeding evaluation at The Marcus Institute on Wednesday. As most of you know, he has been really healthy since getting his new kidney last year. We are so incredibly thankful that he and Nona are doing so well. The eating issue is kind of the "final frontier" for him in terms of living normally. He has streaks where he eats well, but he is just not consistent enough, so we have to rely on his feeding tube for most of his nutrition. We are very anxious for Cason to eat and excited to see the plan of action that the people at the clinic come up with! Thanks for your prayers!
B.G. and Tricia
P.S. We have a date for the 3rd annual COTA for Cason golf tournament...May 15th. Save the Date!

Skate Park

We took advantage of the beautiful weather on Saturday and went to the skate park in Thomaston after Jackson's t-ball practice. The boys really had a good time and we made it out without any broken bones!
