Extreme Makeover: Vardon Family 



Last night, KT and I watched the 2 hour special of Home Extreme Makeover, featuring the Vardon Family. The Vardon family consists of Deaf parents, Larry and Judy, 14 year old Stefan, and a younger brother who is blind and autistic. Stefan was the one who wrote to the show and asked for a makeover on their home and was selected. This family truly deserved it!
It was a good show and really heart-touching. I cannot remember the last time I cried while watching a show. KT and I were just crying and crying. It just felt so good for them to have a new house built to fit their needs and lifestyle and with people outside cheering them on. The hosts did a fabulous job and did really well with consulting various people to understand what the Vardon family needed for the new house.
So nice of Marlee Matlin to find someone who could present Stefan a check towards his college education. Everyone there was crying...the hosts, the family, Marlee Matlin, even the interpreter (Jack). I think that was just awesome! KT and I were laughing and crying about Lance and his joy over his new swing. The swing set, obviously, wasn't too big for him. (LOL!)
We truly enjoyed the show.
