BBS (Bad Blogger Syndrome)

I’ve done it again, neglected the blog. But I have a good excuse. The good weather FINALLY appeared here in Massachusetts a couple weeks ago and we have been enjoying it as much as we can. Many of you might not know but the New England area had a MISERABLE June. 27 out of the 30 days it rained. Temps were WAY below normal. It was horrible. And the first couple weeks of July were so so. Needless to say, soaking up the sun and fresh air has been priority!

 Last week, we headed up to New Hampshire for the annual family vacation. Unfortunately this year, we were minus my husband since he started his new job last week. We greatly missed him but that was certainly more important for him to be at the first week of his new job!

On the Tyler front, things are status quo, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. He is doing well at summer school so I am anxious to see how he does in the fall. It’s so hard to believe that he will be starting Kindergarten in 3 weeks! Where is the time going????  Some of the children that will be in his new separated classroom are in the summer program with him and are taking a liking to him. One boy in particular, who the teachers have said is usually quite uncooperative, is extremely cooperative now that Tyler is there. He comes over, smiles at him and bangs on Tyler’s stander (as that is where Tyler immediately goes when he gets into the classroom). The teachers are amazed and impressed at this bond that is forming. This other boy has Downs and I think he is non-verbal like Tyler. At least I haven’t heard him speak 1 word in the 4 weeks we have been there so that is why I am making this assumption. So whether these 2 are speaking to one another in their own way or what, I don’t know. But if they can help each other excel during the year, what a blessing!

I promise to post some pictures of our vacation last week. I actually haven’t even downloaded them from the camera yet!

Calling all Buckeye Fans

As you know, I have dove into the Longaberger business. WELL, in preperation for the upcoming football season, Longaberger has created a line of Team Spirit baskets. There are over 21 different colors to choose from. Longaberger is reaching out to colleges and the NFL to see if they will partner up to have their logo etched on the basket lids. And the first to commit is the Ohio State University. If you or anyone you know is a Buckeye fan (and I know there are MANY out there) these baskets will sure to make you tailgaiting parties a hit!!
