We originally started this blog (years ago) to keep track of the every day things in our lives that we didn't want to forget but knew that we would in time. As life got in the way, we posted less and less until March 2010 when Matthew's arrival rocked our world. Now we use this blog to let everyone know how Matthew is progressing and the big events going on at the Hoy House. We are so appreciative of everyone who has read our story and has thought and prayed for Matthew and for us.
Matthew thinks he can do everything his sister and brother can do. Not only is he tenacious, but he has no fear. We've noticed this most in the water. In the community swimming pool, he doesn't want to wear a vest or a swim floaty, but he wants to walk around the kiddie area with Alyssa and Jackson. He falls and becomes totally submerged. I pull him out, he coughs a second or two and then laughs, ready to do it again. Going to the pool with Matthew is not a relaxing event. I am always on alert and on edge with him.
At the lake, it was pretty similar, but he was able to keep his footing a bit better and could walk a bit in the shallow water. I was able to take a breath or two. That was until the guys finished building the dock and Alyssa started jumping off the dock into the water.
