May 2025 – Graham is 7

May is always so busy, it moves too fast and there are a million things to do, But it’s also so fun, you want to hold on to it.

Wells had his preschool field trip to the farm which was a blast. I love getting one on one time with him. We had a pool day as it’s been getting hot and that was so fun.We enjoyed Mother’s Day with the boys making me feel SO special, and then tragedy!

Wells was jumping on the tramp with friends and caught a double bounce. His knee buckled and he collapsed. Our sweet neighbor brought him back over and he was crying a LOT and refused to stand on his leg. I put him in the bath to see if that would calm him down and he would not get calm. We ultimately decided to take him to the hospital to see if it was broken. We went to Primary Children’s and I held him in the backseat until he fell asleep. He watched movies as we waited, and waited, and waited. We arrived at the ER at 9:30. At 12:30, Randy went back home so he and my parents who had come to be with Graham and Wells could sleep. We got in at about 3:00 AM. He woke up not knowing what his splint was. It was a hard first few days. So many people brought us so many fun toys and treats, but Wells was in a lot of pain and wouldn’t walk or move. He watched a lot of movies and relaxed. He got brave and did his Preschool Program and went to Wicked and was such a trooper. He started scooting on his bum when friends came to play!

After a week we got his hot pink cast on and he started MOVING. He got more and more comfortable and brave, and it was so fun to see him back to his normal self.

Graham celebrated his 7th birthday! He had a whole crew of friends at Kid Zone which was SO fun. Graham is tender, cautious, caring, sweet, so imaginative, and wonderful. He has excelled this year at piano, school, loves math and coloring, and has the best imagination ever. He loves all things Pokemon, Sonic, Minecraft, and Mario. He also loves building, learning, has killed it at baseball this year, and is an incredible friend. He’s a fantastic big brother and helper and we adore him. We are SO lucky he is in our family.

The rest of May was spent with end of school parties, and getting into the swing of summer. We saw the new Syracuse Temple, spent all our time outside, and have truly made the most of every day!
