Fall season has arrived ! I can’t believe the last post I did was back in June, and here we are in mid September. Harvest has started with silage chopping. Mitchell was able to get up into the chopper last Saturday. I was able to video and snap some pictures of Michael and Mitchell in the chopper dumping on Marshall as well as Michaels dad. Mitchell has been having a good summer! Busy with his weekly therapies but still able to do some fun activities too. Weddings, Fishing, attending area fairs, bridges bay resort, catfish bay and even a trip out to Nemo to do some side by side riding was just some of the highlights. Our youngest jackrabbit moved back to college a month ago and this will be her Senior year. It’s a bitter sweet feeling for both Michael and I. South Dakota State was the college choice for all four of our kids. We helped move each one of them into their dorms or apartments and when we drove away, we both knew that they would have an awesome college and educational experience. For now, we look forward to attending some of the upcoming Jacks events when it works and focusing on fall field work! Our grandson Callen is off to preschool this year too. We have another Adrian dragon in the family again! We hope this update finds you all doing well. Mitchell continues to make slow and steady progress with his walking. Music still challenges his mouth sounds and movements, and the best part is that he continues to enjoy going every other week too. Weekly pool therapy also has improved Mitchell’s transferring and walking. Sounds like we are approved for a couple more months of that as well. Michael and I still are convinced that farm therapy still has Mitchell motivated the most. Michael can easily get Mitchell into the feed truck and semi alone now. The combine might take a few of us yet, but for sure he will be making rounds this fall in both beans and corn. We thank you for the continued prayers and thoughts for Mitchell. Blessings to you all. May you all have a safe and blessed harvest !! Evening Blessing: May your prayers be filled with power. May your words be full of grace and truth. May your God-given dreams surprise and inspire you. And may your kindness and generosity change the world. Sleep well. God is with you. #SusieLarsonBlessings John 16:24 NLT ~ You haven’t done this before. Ask, using my name, and you will receive, and you will have abundant joy.
