iPad for the Banta Boys

This year, instead of Christmas or Hanukkah gifts, we are asking for donations toward an iPad for Quinn and Cooper to share. There are so many amazing apps out there that can really help both our boys developmentally. Please donate what you can through the link below or you can just send us a check. Thanks so much for all of your continued support for our special boys.

Pool Time!

Quinn's Birthday Party

We had Quinn's party today. He loved the ballons as usual.

Cooper playing with Grandpop Bill.

Quinn sitting under the awesome birthday banner his school made for him.

Excited about chocolate cake, and still covered with sauce from dinner :)

Quinn had a great time at the party and he really liked all his gifts!

School Pictures!

Cooper actually allowed his picture to be taken this year!!! This is huge progress since he usually screams and cries. Maybe next year he will smile too :)

And here is his class picture, he sat nice for this one too!

Washington D.C.

Cooper found a skull to play with at the Smithsonian.

Quinn liked the hands on stuff.

Cooper did too!

Quinn and his aide, he is playing with the catapillar while his speech teacher read the book.

Quinn and his aide cuddling, looks like it was a long day :)

I wasn't sure Quinn would eat the cupcakes I brought, but he loved them! He ate two!!!

Bunny cupcakes, cause they are cute and it is almost Easter.

His aide and teacher suprised us with presents!

All the kids were so excited to see what he got.

His aide bought him a really great alphabet train that he loves.

Unfortunately, Cooper loves it too. Don't worry Quinn, he will get tired of it soon enough and it will be all yours :)

Thanks for letting me come outside and play in the snow!

Isn't this smile worth it? Yes, Cooper it is :)

So excited that it is lunchtime!
