Best Christmas Gift: All My Sons Together

Nick, Stuart, Ryan, Cameron, Michael

Not exactly a Christmas photo, but it was taken a week ago.  They had planned a garage sale together.  They all contributed in some manner, and they split the profit.

I don’t get to see my boys together very often.  Mike moved out a decade ago, so activities that include all of them are rare.

I enjoyed seeing them work as a team, and getting along.  So many times I hear that siblings don’t get along, especially when special needs like autism are involved.  Best Christmas present a mom could ever get!

Merry Christmas!

The Family: Why I Do What I Do!


I can’t believe it’s almost been a month since I’ve written. It took so long to really recover from working, enduring finals week, cleaning a bachelor pad (see last entry), and sleeping. I am functioning on normal mode, if there really is such a thing. Just wanted to show why I do what I do. Just look at my boys! That’s all that needs to be said.
