Build-A-Bear Trip

May 13th, 2007 by Gwenn

As an incentative to get out of diapers, Bryce was awarded a trip to Build-A-Bear.  We told him that if he could make it 2 months without having an accident we would take him to build his own bear.  Bryce kept track of his daily progress by charting with stickers.  He couldn’t wait for the big day, and when it finally arrived, he chose “Husky Lightning Hall” as his new found friend.  We are very proud of Bryce and his accomplishment - April 28th a day to remember!

Life Hurts Sometimes

January 31st, 2007 by Justin

Received word on Monday from a good friend that his mother passed away. In my profession, you see death quite often, but when it happens to someone close to you it serves as a simple reminder that we all could be just a breath away from our eternal destiny. Our prayers go out to Chuck A. and his family! Remember to tell your family and friends that you love them - Hey! Family and Friends, I love you!
