I am amazed at the beauty surrounding me. Virginia is a canvas for God's creativity today. I took some pics...enjoy.

a four month summary!

I can't believe it has been so long since I blogged. Summer has been so busy. Mom fell and had a compression fracture in her back and spent time in the hospital and in a nursing home for rehab. She is home now. I am trying to figure out how to get her to the poles (she wasn't home for early voting). I am going to ask for curbside voting. We shall see. It seems to be very important to her to vote this election.. So I am on the mission.

Halloween was good. Brady was a mighty knight and very self-controlled about his candy. He even decided he had enough after about 13 houses and asked to go home. Amazing. I have never had a child that thought he had enough candy.

Matt found out about 2 weeks ago that he is being transferred to Atlanta. We have only been in VA for 6 months so moving was a big surprise. The good thing about it is that we will be closer to family and the bad thing is that we will be far from Jay and Jane. We will really miss being near them. I know Brady will especially miss them. They will just have to come to Atlanta ALOT.

We had lots of company this summer and that truly kept us going! LeeAnn, Thomas and Andrew came, Nan and Abbe came, Dustin came, Taylor came, Vanessa, Ayden and Casey came, Marianna came, and Jack came....I think that covers it. We loved every visit!

Brady started kindergarten with flying colors. No shadow at all in class with him. He has two full months of good behaviour. We are so proud of him. He is also learning in the group setting at as any typical child would. I was a little concerned about this because his entire life has been one on one therapy - but he is not having any problems...way to go on the generalization programs!

We have a new consultant and a wonderful college student doing therapy with Brady. After a whole day of kindergarten, he only needs a few sessions a week. We mostly do homework and follow up on classroom subjects.

Brady rides the regular school bus with all the kids. It is a highlight of his day. He loves it. I met more people at the bus stop than I met all summer. It is a good social time.

Ok so I will be talking to you all. Check out my facebook. I would love to chat with you there. I still have my myspace too. Take care and God bless. Until next time.....M
