We’re all doing great around here. Glen and I have been hard core on our diet and we are both down almost 20 pounds each. It’s going really well, we both feel motivated and are glad to eat healthy and exercise and teach the kids to do that too. We were sick around here for [...]

**Update
Adrian woke up with a fever the day we were supposed to go. I had decided that we would give him tylenol and try to do it anyway because I did not want him to miss out on this. So I gave him tylenol and got everyone ready. As we were walking out the door [...]

We had our meeting at school on Friday to discuss some ideas that I could use at home to encourage communication. I did get some good ideas. One of them is having a picture of each person in the family and showing Adrian the pictures and telling him for example, “Go say ‘Hi’ to Nevaeh” [...]

Well I’m having very little computer time because unfortunately my laptop is acting up and my hubby is still trying to diagnose the problem so we can get it fixed. I have to steal moments on his PC when I can so I may be sparse, we’ll see.
