Welcome Matt

A young man named Matt moved into our crazy home last week. He is twelve years old, enjoys video games, helping the family (we will see how long that lasts), entertaining Hazel, eating anything put in front of him, and walking on our treadmill. Yes, another treadmill junkie people!

Matt isn't the first young man in our home to enjoy our treadmill. In fact, going on the treadmill is viewed as a privilege by the boys who have lived with us. They know the house rule...they have to be "available" for the treadmill...meaning coming home from school with good scores in their day treatment notebook.

Ever thought exercising on a treadmill was a privilege?

Well, here it is. I should elaborate and explain that as long as their little feet are a moving on the belt (walking or running if they are so inspired), they are "available" for cartoons! I would like to think that the boys are motivated to be fit and healthy, but I know better.

They do it for the cartoons.

I won't keep you all in suspense any longer...here is our newest addition...MATT!

Matt: You MUST be a very nice young man cuz Hazel sure likes YOU!
We look forward to meeting you soon.
What are you going to be for Halloween? Our little ladybug Hazel will not be eating candy but she might score big with her SMILE.
You seem to enjoy helping our little Hazel with her walking skills. Thank you for being so sweet with our Sweet-Pea.
