As Nana Turns 65.......

....I face the "elderly" life with tons of hope and joy....

....I believe in hope....because really, what is life without it?

...I'm thankful that my Charleston has a Mama Bear...

....I absolutely love that we live in a world where things can be adapted for him to enjoy life...

....I'm happy that he's able to teach people things from his life....

....It makes my heart happy that he can go into his backyard like any other kid....

....SO freaking thankful that I finally was able to touch him last month....

....I was thrilled to be able to be silly with my daughter after a year of "hibernation"!!!

...the LOVE between these two boys is immense....how lucky are they to have each other?????

Fireman Charleston!!!

Just call him Chief Charleston!!!

Charleston had a visit from Santa Claus, and LOOK WHAT SANTA BROUGHT HIM!!!!! Yes, he brought him his own FIRE TRUCK!!!! And he brought little brother Cole (2 years old) his own ATV!

Charleston continues to reap benefits from the treatment he's getting, Spinraza. So Santa knew that he could drive his own fire truck! Santa dropped by Daddy's fire station, just to make sure that everything would be set up correctly & customized for our Charleston.

SO EXCITING!!!! Santa knew just what to get him!

Here you can see how Daddy helped Santa. Together, they attached a sled so he could lay flat on it.

Posing in front of the Christmas tree, anxiously awaiting Santa's visit.

LOOK!!!! Charleston is giving his little brother, Cole, a ride in his fire truck!!!! That's what big brothers are supposed to be able to do, right???!!!!

NOW, for the best part!!!!
