WOW Susan you have one heck of a memory girl LOL Honestly thou THANK you ALL so much I truly had a GREAT day My Bro came down, whom I rarely get to see, so that alone was a GREAT treat. We all went out to brunch and at the end the staff sang Happy Birthday to me. OMG Chris just got the biggest kick out of that ;D My Bro hung for a while here with us to open presents and such. OMG Chris was just tooo funny, he handed me each gift and as he handed them to me, before I could open them he would tell me what they were LOLOL Later in the day Colin, Chris, Kodi Lee and I all went to the movies. Kodi Lee and I saw "Mamma Mia" which we both just LOVED and the guys saw Hmmm I forget what they saw LOL then we had pizza and now I am getting ready (or should be getting ready, LOL) to pack Christopher's over night bag as he leaves in the morning for his ESY trip. Truly a GREAT day and coming here and seeing your wishes just made this GREAT day end in a truly very nice way. THANK YOU ALL CC ~

In 3 weeks Chris leaves for his first ever 1 week sleep over camp. K, I know I have been fretting bout this for years LOLOL Anywho I figured I would get no work done and just fret all week so I have booked a 3 day 2 night away during that week with my favorite #1 daughter ;D Colin is just to busy to get away and he really wants us two girls to go have time together before she leaves for college again and just plain old have fun. So YAY we are going off to the beach, in a GREAT hotel, seeing a show, doing tons of shopping which we BOTH Love to do, booking time at the spa and ... I figure if I am going to worry bout Chris I might as well worry while doing fun things right I know to some this is no big deal but to me its truly BIG. If his week away goes well then next year OMG I am free to go where ever we all want ;D So I guess this whole post is not only bout Christopher's mile stone and his independence on going to sleep away camp but MINE too on letting go and trusting all will be well with my number 1 boy and getting some Mom/daughter quality time ;D Along with my sweet sweet hubby being happy to just get some sleep after his 12 hour work day, LOLOL Anywho just wanted to share my excitement Have a GREAT weekend everybody. CC ~

WOW MB how very very COOL for your son ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D Chris starts working off campus this coming September I hope if all goes well thru his life skills program and one of the places is a local restaurant. Not sure he is up to that yet but you have given me hope LOL bout the "but also laid out his challenges such as visiting too much with cute blondes." Christopher's one challenge is visiting to much with anyone, doesn't matter bout the hair color LOLOL BEST of Luck to your son on his new journey. CC ~

THANKS Sharon for the GREAT run down "There were more exhibitors for home living situations than I have seen in past years, such as Rainbow Acres in Arizona, and The Stewart Home in Kentucky. I can see where that is an attractive option for many families." Thanks for sharing that part I am interested to check them out and the cost. Up this way there is a GREAT living situation ~ www.pathfindervillage.org/But YIKES the cost is like having a very high yearly college tuition for life KWIM Anywho THANKS for sharing, sounds like you had a good time and Man do I LOVE Boston CC ~

THANKS gals, your the BEST I hope we have this all figured out before he leaves in August for his first ever 1 week of sleep over camp. He did have another day of losing all color but no other symptoms. I have called the Ped to get the script for the blood tests the heart doc wants done too. I will let you know when I know. CC ~

Lorraine ~ I am not to far off from the end now and I was having trouble getting into it but I finally did Colin is reading it too, which has us having some very interesting discussions bout all the years ago Chris was born What I do like about this book is its from a Mom's eyes and not by Doctors and Experts KWIM? "it seems to end suddenly leaving you wanting to know what happens next though" Hmmm now I am so curious how it ends but then again I guess its kind of an ongoing story, like with all our kids CC ~
