Joseph's Feet...the results!

After all the special trips and bonding with Dad:

After the all the get well gifts; after all the casts: white ones then blue and yellow and finally red and black,

After the pins and one fancy ride

After one more loud special saw (thanks to Dr. Reber while we were in Flag, he saved Jeffery from driving all the way to NM)

After all his brothers helping him out... and just a little bit of teasing.
Here's our Joseph's "awesome" feet:

Just look how perfectly straight he holds them. It was a long road of recovery, but look at the outcome! We have been so blessed to have the best doctor take such good care of him. Joseph really was a trooper throughout the whole process. He complained a little bit, which was to be expected, but overall managed his usual smile all along. Thank you Uncle John, for making his feet feel "so much better."

I love Raising my Boys:

"You are home to him. When he learns to walk, he will wobble a few feet away from you and then come back, then wobble away a little farther and then come back. When he tries something new, he will look for your proud smile. When he learns to read, he will repeat the same book to you twenty times in a row, because you're the only one who will listen that many times. When he plays his sport, he will search for your face in the stands. When he is sick, he will call you. When he really messes up, he will call you. When he is grown and strong and tough and big and he feels like crying, he will come to you; because a man can cry in front of his mother without feeling self-conscious. Even when he grows up and has a new woman in his life and gets a new home, you are still his mother; home base, the ever constant, like the sun. Know that in your heart and everything else will fall into place."

"Example is an important characteristic of a boy’s life." President Spencer W. Kimball

"Mothers of little boys work from son up til son down"

"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware. The tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered around the house, the piles of laundry lying around to be tackled, will disappear all too soon. And, you will to your surprise, miss them profoundly." President Thomas S. Monson

"No other success can compensate for failure in the home."

"The greatest work you will ever do will be within the walls of your home."

"Motherhood is about raising & celebrating the child you have, not the child you thought you would have. It's about understanding that he is exactly the person he is supposed to be, and that if you're lucky he just might be the teacher that turns you into the person you're supposed to be." - Joan Ryan
