Painting, Great Strides, New Rooms and The Zoo :)

What a busy month. So much stuff going on that we have been spinning in circles. First of all I have been teaching my sister how to paint. We had so much fun making Brynn's hand and foot wall painting just like I did when I was her age. Mommy helped her but I showed her how it was done. Mommy bought a new frame and painted it red to match her room. Here are pictures of us painting and the end result.
We also had my annual Great Strides walk on May 8th. Grandma Ann and Grandpa Bill made the trip from Iowa to walk with us. We also had a lot of friends (and a few furry friends) walk with us. The weather was very windy, cold and rainy but we walked on with a smile on our face, (maybe it was just the wind blowing our lips in different directions). After the walk we drove to our house and had a bar-b-que. I had a great time chasing the puppies around the house. I was so tired from all the fun, I fell asleep waiting for Daddy to do my breathing treatment.Thank you so much for all the generous donations. We raised close to $3000.00 and the donations are still coming in. I am so thankful for my wonderful family and friends, because without your support, I may never receive such wonderful care from my doctors as I do now. New medications and treatments come out quite frequently and that is the direct effect of your donations.Mommy and Daddy have been very busy getting our new rooms ready. Brynn has moved into the spare room and I now have a new big boy bed. Brynn's room is decorated in pink and red with lady bug decor. My room is a camping theme. Here a few pictures of our new rooms.On May 13th, we went to the Toledo Zoo with my preschool class. I rode the bus to the zoo with my friends and met Mommy, Daddy and sister Brynn at the front entrance. Here is Mommy and I looking at the ducks in the fountain.My friend Nick and I by a lion statue.Here we are at the Gorilla exhibit.Daddy and Brynn looking at the fishies.These are some giant crabs!Wow! Jellyfish.Here's a "Nemo" fish.We took some time to play at the play ground. I liked going down the twisty slide inside this giant boulder.We had a great day at the zoo and both Brynn and I slept the entire ride home.
We will be traveling to Iowa for Memorial Day weekend. We hope to see many of you so I can introduce you to my sister.
I will leave you with a picture of my beautiful sister, Brynn, and of course one of me kissing her. I love to kiss my sister.
Love and hugs,

Luke William and Brynn Elyse
