The steroids are starting to rear their ugly head. Brendon has been moody and hard to please lately but we are all dealing with it. He gets really mad and he doesn't know why. We explain it's just the medicine. We are counting down the days until he starts being weaned off of them (October 3rd). He has 2 more shots in the thigh and he's done with them for good. He's been taking them very well but he will be so glad to be done with them. He will continue to go to the clinic in Scarborough once a week until 10/10.

He's doing well in school. He's adjusting to doing homework and getting up and going almost everyday. He's missed a few full days but he's doing well overall.

Yesterday Brendon went to the Farmington Fair with his Uncle Tommy, cousin Ashley, Allyson and Mom. He wasn't acting like Brendon (because of the steroids) so he didn't have as much fun as he usually does. He did enjoy it, though. He fed the goats, went on rides and ate junk food. His legs are really tired today because of all the walking we did.

Today is Brendon's dad's 30th birthday and Brendon is really excited about it. Andy is working today so we are planning on making him a special dinner. Our friend Renee made him an amazing birthday cake. We'll put pictures up on the next post. Andy is Brendon's hero and he looks up to him so much. I decided to talk about Andy a little bit in this post. Andy is an amazing man who has done so much for his family. Andy is the type of guy who would drop everything to help a friend, family member or even a total stranger. He has been so strong throughout everything. He loves his family more than anything. Brendon is his world. He is a very proud Dad! Brendon will turn 10 on 12/25/07 which means that he will be able to go hunting. Andy is so excited to spend time teaching his son how to hunt and enjoy nature. There are times when I look at them both and I am completely blown away by how alike they are. Brendon tells Andy that he wants to be just like him when he grows up. Andy is extremely humbled by that and tells me all of the time how much he loves Bren. I just wanted to tell the world how blessed we are to have Andy in our lives! Happy Birthday, Andy! We love you so much!! Bren and Amber

Speaking of hunting, Andy got his first deer of the season on 9/14. Brendon and Andy were both so excited! Here is a picture of them with the deer (the sun was in Bren's eyes).

That's it for this post.
