    He is just too cute! What a great school picture.
    I know what you mean about the time passing. My youngest went to the Homecoming dance last weekend. I almost lost it after they left.
    ...sigh...
    Kids just grow up too fast.

    Once again that fab smile.
    Time does go by fast. I look at my kids and can't believe they are adults.

    I take it back. Once they hit those wonderful teenage sarcasm years, they don't grow fast enough.

    Cheer: Thanks a lot!

    Raven: Thanks to you also, and I know what you mean about those teen years. I can't believe the amount of backtalk we get from a kid who can't speak.

    Grant: Our baby pictures are indistinguishable from each other.

    Except that mine where, you know, black and white...

    Oh they don't need a voice. Just their eyes to roll and a grimace or other face movements to tell you that they think you are an incompetant boob and know nothing.

    Skyler's a cutie! I love the way he looks! And I know what you mean about the "back talk"--I'll bet he has a million ways to give you a tough time and let you know EXACTLY what he wants, what he doesn't want, and how he feels about EVERYTHING. He's a teenager--he's got to get all that back talk out, or else! :)

    Raven: He gives us a sneer, and grunts... Just lovely!

    Blue beak: Thanks for dropping in!

    Zed: You are so right. There are a bunch of different ways he lets us know we aren't cutting it!

    JY: He is a babe magnet, right up to the point he drools. That seems to put most of the ladies off, we are working on it!

    Nice pic!

    I've been wondering where the time goes, myself. Saw my niece again this weekend, who is 12 going on 13, but her body is going on 21. Oy vey.

    That's funny-- drooling's never hurt me in the babe department...

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

This is from 2009, but I wanted to re-post it because today is "Spread the word to end the word" day. Every time I hear somebody refer to Skyler as "retard" I die a little more inside. Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community. Most of us are parents, but there are teachers, doctors, therapists, siblings, and some are the person with the diagnosis. It is a worldwide community, but most are from the United States. We benefit from having an international membership, because it can be quite interesting to hear about viewpoints or medical procedures that are going on in other countries. Over the years, I have had faceless names become close friends, engaged in discussions about body functions you wouldn’t mention to your doctor, and gained a valuable sounding board for advice and ideas. I have grown to care about a lot of these people, and their lives as much as some of my own friend

Goodbye old friend. Hootie: 1997-2009

I'll never forget the day I first saw him. We were driving home from Golden and Kathy said "Why don't you go this way?" We headed down a street I had never been on and found ourselves driving by a little strip mall. Then Kathy says "Turn in here a minute." Now my spidey senses are on alert, and sure enough, we wind up parking in front of a pet store. Kathy had been out in Golden a couple of days before and had found Hootie sitting in a cage looking so lonely. When we walked in, there was a sad little puppy up high in his own cage, with a sign that had 2 different prices crossed out and the third was pretty low. He had been taken and then returned to the pet store. I knew right then that we were heading home with another dog, I had been suckered! I still wasn't quite over the loss of our Golden Retriever, but I never do seem to get over the loss of a pet. Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
