Happy New Year!

Good bye 2007! Hello 2008!



Looking back on 2007, our family has a lot to be thankful for.

  1. We added a wonderful baby boy to our family.
  2. S. F. is becoming more and more independent, which is huge for a 12 1/2 year old with Asperger's Disorder.
  3. S. D. decided it was time to be fully potty-trained.
  4. S. F. has begun to try eating new foods, which is another monumentous thing for a kid with Asperger's.
  5. S. D. started pre-k, which she loves.
  6. We had a beach vacation with perfect weather every day but one, and even then the rain was brief. That in and of itself is miraculous. Normally we have at least 3 nasty, rainy days.
  7. G. was able to take several days off during the holidays which was a gift all by itself.

Aside from S. D. and Little G.'s seemingly perpetual ear infections over the past 5 months, 2007 was a very good year. I think 2008 will be even better.
