Jake's Make-a-Wish Party


Our friends Michelle and Dustin, the proud parents of two beautiful kids, Jake (who has Angelman's like Chance) and Bailey, hosted a Make-a-Wish party. Their son Jake was granted a wish and they received a beautiful adaptive swing set, complete with a rope swing, ramps and lots of cool sensory stuff! We enjoyed the day so much watching all the kids interact and play. I do think, however, that Dustin's tractor train stole the show over the swing set. All three of our boys absolutely loved that thing and insisted on being driven around all the deer paths through the woods pretty much the entire time we were there! Dustin and Michelle have a beautiful home and we were blessed to be a part of the party. It was nice to spend the day with parents of an angel and be able to relax and not apologize for Chance all day long. He was a bit of a stinker as the day went on... also managed to put his whole hand right smack dab in the middle of the cake. Thankfully, Michelle had already snapped some pictures of it! I hope we can get together more as it's nice to remember that we aren't alone in this journey of raising an angel and typical kids. Thanks for having us to your party Jake! Maybe you'll come to our Make-a-Wish party some day... guess I should apply, eh?
