national dental health month...

who better to come talk to a bunch of first graders about dental health than dr. cragun himself?  one of the children even asked if he knew the tooth fairy personally...

 dressing up for "career day" that month...

school party

he insisted on skateboard cupcakes.  this is the best i could come up with...

his favorite, guacamole and chips...

family party at home...

 i love this video.  it reminds me of the miracle that the cochlear implant (and LOTS of speech therapy) has given him...

he also got new "skin-its" (www.skinit.com) for his implants.  FC Dallas soccer on the right, and BYU Cougars on the Left.  he loves them!...

birthday time...

wow!  L is six!  i look at this mini-grown up and think about the amazing journey we've been on.  i remember sitting in the doctor's office when L was just 3 months old, being fitted for hearing aids and being told he would most likely never use spoken language.  here we are, six years later, and we can't get the kid to be quiet or stop singing his favorite songs!

this year, he wanted to celebrate with pizza and games at gatti town!  since the cousins had just moved to town, they came along, too.

T and a cousin...

his first party, at just one week old...
