Here’s video from his decanulation (not medically scarey, we promise!):

We just moved to North Carolina. I like our new house and it is very nice.

I made some new friends in school. Their names are Gabe, Trent, and Amy. We eat lunch together.

And I made some friends in the neighborhood. Their names are Colby, Cameron, Austin, and Isaiah.

And I just learned to ride my own bike. One day, I fell off my scooter when I was going down a hill and I got cuts all over me. My biggest one was a giant cut on my chin.

We’re building a tree house in the forest behind our house. So far, we built the floor. And what we’re going to have in it is a outlet, a carpet. We are going to have a porch and a roof.

When Gabe was little, he couldn’t breathe, so they had to put in a tube called a trach. Then, they took it out and left it out for a few years. They had to put in a t-tube. And I would really appreciate it if you could pray for him.

School has been good. I made some friends in school, too.

At home, my dad, Elliot, Nate and I have made a floor to a tree house. We are planning on finishing it with a carpet on the inside and painted walls.

I have also made five friends in the neighborhood. Their names are Colby, Cameron, Aaron, Austin, and KJ.

We’re starting to build a tree house. That’s an ongoing project. So far we built the floor, and we even got to go up before it was finished.

I definitely like the house.

My parents are about to go on vacation to Denver. So then my dad’s parents have to watch us for six days.

My brothers seem like they feel good about North Carolina, too.

I miss all my old friends and I am praying for them. I hope the church plant goes well.

I tried an experiment on my bike. First I went to the top of the hill on the street in front of my house. I rode down without pedaling and made it to the manhole in the cul-du-sac. Then I tried going around the corner at the top of the hill. This time I didn’t make it close to the manhole. So, I learned that to go the farthest on my bike, I should just go to the top of the hill and not go around the corner.

I like living here, and I like my friends that I have made. God did very good work in getting us here!

I still like to play the piano. We put our piano in the cube to move it to our new house. When we unpacked the cube, two big, strong workers brought it to the room that it should be in. That wasn’t very easy because it weighs more than 100 pounds and there is a very steep hill so that’s even more hard.

Two days ago, I was going down a big hill on my scooter and I bumped into a big rock. The scooter stopped and fell over and I smacked into the road. It was a tremendous crash! I’ve a giant scrape on my chin. And I have another scrape on my waist… a small, small scrape on my hand… and that’s all the scrapes I got from my crash.

I’m happy that God brought us here to our new new house!
