Mr. Careful

I thought I would give you an update on Jake and how he has been doing. So far he is doing very well and is still being very careful with his feet. You can see the difference the cones made in his feet, he now has an arch when he did not before. He has another appointment next week and after that he is ready to run and do more activities. Sean started him with kicking the soccer ball, and discovered that Jake has to learn how to kick all over again.

Jake has had NO pain when prior to the surgery walking to and from school his feet would be hurting. He said that he happy that he did the surgery because his is no longer in pain and now he can keep up with his friends...... he is also happy now that he does not have to wear the "ugly shoes" anymore !)

Got Hands in Pocket......

Gonna make you notice! I think that is how the lyrics go to the Pretenders song "Brass In Pocket", but I am not sure. Last week one of my nieces Leah stopped by to use our computer. Kate wanted her to stay but she had to go to work, so as she was leaving Kate was chasing after her running down the street (she was on the sidewalk). This is what happens to you when you have your hands in your hands in your pockets (and your mom tells you not to)........


I felt bad when she fell or as she called it "Ate it", but I think she learned from it and when it was all over and she was cleaned up I had to say "I told you so" and asked her if she would run with her hands in her pocket to which she said no but she was still going to chase after her cousins!

A New Addition

I thought I would introduce a new (well he's been around for a while but was made official last month) member of our family (the Price side) Josh my niece Ashley's husband. He is a wonderful addition to our family and has 2 new cousins who love him to death. He fits in so well with his humor and he has a scar from a sports injury (sound familiar?), plus he treats my niece the way she should be as well! Welcome to our crazy family Josh and we are so happy that you are a part of it!

New Year New Feet!

I thought I would give you a quick up date on Jake's progress. He had another post-op yesterday to get the stitches out and to see how everything was going. The doctor said that everything is looking great and he happy to see how well Jake handled everything. Jake is now walking pigeon toed, which the dr. said is normal because the bones are now where they should be and him walking this way is more comfortable for him but he will walk normal soon. Jake has no pain and is really doing a great job of "taking it easy". He was back to school on Monday and has been doing good at sitting around. I have many spies at his school and they are all keeping an eye on him (thank you :). He told me on New Year's Day that this was the end of his first decade, the beginning of his second, and great way to start the year with new feet!
