In August, Mike did something that was definitely a first for him…taking a Hot Air Balloon ride! A bunch of friends and family gathered at the Fort Macleod Airport on an early Monday morning, hoping to beat any wind that might be coming. It is quite the process to get…

It has been over a month since I have updated what Mike has been up to! We should be back to regular updates now, and I will try to post on Monday mornings for a while and see how that works. But for today, we will start with the beginning…

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….
