Last week was pretty exciting for Mike as his new walker finally arrived! He always wants to practice walking, but it hasn’t been super safe for Mike or William the way they were doing it…with Mike holding on to Williams arm and William trying to balance Mike while walking backwards….

As it was Uncle John’s birthday recently, he invited Mike and William to come to B.C and celebrate with him. Mike really enjoys visiting family and friends in B.C and looked forward to this trip from the moment it was booked. White Rock There is never any shortage of beautiful…

Although we find ways to keep Mike out and about in the winter, summer definitely provides more opportunities to be outside! This past week, Mike went on quite a few walks with Mom and Dad, Auntie Nita, and William. Walking along the Old Man River has a different view every…
