Hi everyone!! I haven't been on here in so long I'm hoping SOMEONE will remember me...LOL! I hope everyone is doing well and all the little ones are growing, growing, growing! Boy has Andrew ....in all areas. He is now in preschool 5 days a week 2 1/2 hours a day. On Wednesdays there is no typical preschool so Andrew has one on one ABA teaching and has done well. We are extremely happy with his Aide this year. She is very up-to-date with issues relating to Down Syndrome. She knows exactly when to step back and let him try to handle things on his own and when to step in and give him a "push" in the right direction. It's really a big switch from previous years. He is also trying to talk more and is actually a very funny little boy. His sense of humor is great. I like to think he gets that from me....hee hee. ;D We got a new puppy named Pugsley...actually it's Mr. Pugsley because he is such a proper type of dog, you know...sits up staight and tall and kind of has a bit of an attitude like he's better then everyone else. Andrew loves him...a bit too much sometimes if you know what I mean. Poor dog...he takes all the huge hugs really well though. I have to go finish dinner but I will try to get back on here later and see if anyone is around. I really miss you guys! Hopefully I will talk to you soon. -Trisha

Hey Trisha, So glad to hear from you! Of course I remember you, how could I possibly forget. I have a picture of Andrew, Damara and Katie sitting on the park bench on my computer so it will come up as the screen saver... Happy to hear he is doing well. School is going well for him? He has an Aide? Can you shed some light on what she does and how you decided to get one? We have Damara's IEP on the 7th and have been wondering if we should request one. Let me know, and a BIG HI to everyone!

Hi Trisha! Nice to hear how well Andrew is doing! Are you still working in real estate? Would you like to come over some morning for tea? I have most Monday and Thursday mornings free. Shirley, that is so nice that you have that pic of our kids as one of your screen-savers! How's Damara doing this year? Deane

Trisha--I sent you a PM need E-Mail address to send the photo.
Deane--Damara is doing well, she's improving in so many areas but still waiting for the complete potty training to be done. I'm ready any day now! Hope all is well with you and your family. How's Katie doing these days? Haven't heard any funny prayer requests from her lately!
