I jinxed it all by saying we were having great weather. Last week it froze twice during the night and killed my beans and some of the corn. Turned the tops of the potatoes brown. So we did some replanting and hopefully everything will survive but they are predicting a frost warning again tonight. The tomato plants near the house are still thriving so that is one blessing.
Matt had a busy week as he had OT twice, a bath in Innisfail and started physiotherapy on Friday. However they mostly asked questions and will start the physio this week. Mom was telling me what Matt did the other morning. He could lift his head while lying in the bed and then pulled his knees to his chest after much thought and deliberation. Airene and Cecilia also mentioned when they use the standing frame, Matt is much stronger and I took and video of him standing with the frame and touching his head with his right hand at the same time. It doesn't seem like much to us but it takes alot of effort to do standing and moving at the same time.
Nolan and Lindsay came down for the weekend thank goodness to spend some quality time with Matt. The weekends get boring when the weather is poor and they play Wii and card games with Matt. Next weekend Matt got tickets to see Jeff Dunham at Rexall Place, a comedian/ventriloquist that both Matt and Nolan like so are going up to Edmonton on Sunday. I may have to go and be available for assistance but I didn't get tickets to the show. Wondering if any of the Edmonton relatives may be available for supper near the arena to visit with. Let me know.
Matt felt quite bad last week when Jonmarie and Shaunie were downstairs fighting and Uncle Matt was trying to get them to stop. He told Shaunie to go upstairs as she was being very mean to Jonmarie. Shaunie just would not listen and he yelled really loud and pinched her toe with his right fingers. By the time Grandma came down, Shaunie was backed up on the couch crying her eyes out. He didn't hurt her but she had very hurt feelings. But Shaunie needs to understand when Uncle Matt says something she must listen, especially if they are outside and she starts to run away. So I told Matt not to feel bad and she needs to be a little scared of what he might do (even if it is not much more than yelling). Welcome to the joys of having kids!

Hi guys!
Well, we sure haven't had nice weather either. Cold, cold, cold. Not sure if we'll ever get summer. Only put in 3 rows of potatoes so far. Nothing else yet. Actually could use a really good tiller first though too.
Keep up the hard work Matt! You still amaze all of us.
Oh, I forgot to sign my name.

Way to go Matthew. It amazes me how much you can do.....lots of sweating, I bet?
Can't wait to see you again at Lanna's wedding. When are you guys leaving for Weekes?
Talk to you soon. Love Auntie Sandy
sounds like you are being a big brother matt. good for you. the kids will keep you on your toes. its is good for them to learn another "big voice". we have had frost here also. greg is finally into planting gardens and flowers and such and was very disappointed when his geraniams froze. i think he was more worried about the cost. the park has been very slow as we still have a fire ban on and will until it rains. today it rained all around us but not in the park. golfing is good though. thank god or we would have no revenue at all.
take care and be nice to those little ones!!!

Matt sounds like you are still keeping very busy, and continuing to do great. It was so nice ro see you in Weekes as well as everyone else. Keep up the hard work. We will see you in August again at SSK. Love aunty Bren
Hi everyone! Just wanted to let you know we are thankful for the updates on the blog, we may not write very often but we still keep track of how everything is going for you Matt and everybody else. I was reading an article in the Leader Post today about a lady who had a spinal injury also, she had received some help from the Rick Hansen Wheels in Motion and SCI Solutions Network, and was able to participate in a study at the U of A. You may have all ready know about them but thought I would pass the information along anyways.
Take Care Love Trudi
