Quick end of the year review


The year started off in us (finally) moving in to our own house.  It still is a work in progress, but it's home.  We had a lot of fond memories of our past here.  Jimmy kissed me for the first time in the kitchen, and I told me he loved me on the front steps.  Our kids will grow up here and as a family we'll make a lot great memories of our own.

Quinn Avery was born in March, and is completely typical.  She has a great personality and loves to be the center of attention.  She's in the process of learning to crawl, and can do so successfully backwards.  It took Spencer a long time, but he's finally gotten used to her and seems to enjoy a playmate. 

Spencer has come a long way.  He is learning to use his wheelchair independently and is still working on walking.  He can use a walker, but doesn't like to.  He cruises around furniture like crazy and is in everything.  He hasn't had any surgery this year.  Also, his biggest achievement is becoming independent from his feeding tube.  It's looking like in 2014 he will become tube-free.  He also started school, which he adores.
