It's a Good Life

It is still a good life. Brayden is healing very nicely from his surgery. He has passed the stage where we have to worry about infection. Life is almost back to "normal," or whatever that is at our house.


Soccer season is almost here again. When it was not too hot out, Brenden and Dan would practice with the team each Sunday evening.

Tennis season has also ended for Brenden. Summer is quickly coming to a close at our house. The School year will be upon us in just a few short weeks. I know that Brayden is ready to go back to see his friends. I think Brenden would like a few more days of summer vacation. However, he does have all of his school supplies ready to go......

Brayden was able to go back to his horse riding therapy last week. He loves riding Roany out at Hope Ranch. Liz and her crew are so wonderful to Brayden. If you ever know of someone who can benefit from riding therapy in the Huron, SD area, contact Hope Therapeutic Riding. They have done so very much to bring Brayden out of his shell. If Roany is busy when we get out there, Brayden gets mad. Brayden and Roany are best buddies.

When Brayden rides, he wraps his feet around the horn of the saddle. We always joke that he is doing "Horse Yoga," instead of riding therapy. I should add that he also falls asleep when riding, as he gets so very relaxed. It is a good thing that he has someone helping him stay in the saddle.

Even though summer is starting to come to a close, there is still plenty of time to have more adventures. Stay tuned.........
