It feels like a tornado has hit and the aftermath has set in! Thank goodness for dad and mom to help restore order!
It wasn't really that bad and we had great weather with lots of beanbag games, with Shauna and I capturing the B side win. And I know because there are pictures to prove it! And Giselle and Brett won the A side, but I think the whole affair was rigged!
So great to see everyone and thanks for all the help. Matt has improved so much since he was here in May. If he really concentrated and was feeling good, he could bend his left elbow!! Also he is so much more easy to transfer. Uncle Jim made this amazing transfer board that is just perfect for Matt and I could almost transfer him myself. He is much stronger when he sits up and can balance himself a bit with his right hand. We were not able to do as much as we would have liked to but it was so busy with all the family that it was just nice to visit with everyone and sit by the campfire. Matt of course was the last one to bed most nights and that meant mom and I were also the last ones to bed. However Matt would sleep in to 11 am and I would be up by 8 am, so next time I will wake him up at 8 am!!
Matt returned back to Saskatoon on Tuesday and will be discharged from Parkridge on Aug. 29th, so getting things ready for the possibility of him coming here for a few months. We will see what happens so please pray for guidance on what would be the best for Matt.

Hi all. Sounds like the weekend was awsome. Your right Shelly the bean bag game was rigged how else could you win the B side. (just kidding) Im sure things will all come in to place for you Matt,at the end of the month. God works in mysterious ways. Chads team won their provincials. Said there was more ball coming so will find out when and maybe come and watch a game. Off to work now so chat later take care big guy.
Sounds like you're having a busy summer. Same goes for us. Just picked up Larissa's drums from Greenwater camp this afternoon and are expecting a lot of company in the coming weeks. Looking forward to it, but also tired just thinking about it as well. Keep up the hard work. You sound like you're really moving along.
