Empty nest syndrome? More like relatives are on their way for a visit.
Listening to the news this morning (BigZ will have to verify) I heard the church that owns the camp where we have the Chicken Bash had their baby Jesus stolen. Someone has stolen three in the area.... I am thinking this is some kind of prank by kids, who would want a bunch of baby Jesus'?
Ang, I am sorry.... I did not mean to make you lose it. I have been trying to not discuss the events from Friday too much around my kids, at least not the 10 year old. I have been trying to keep it together as well, sometimes it is difficult.
WCC, this is the first time I have had matching furniture.... and my children are banned from sitting on it.
BigFam, deep breath mamma bear.
I did get some good news yesterday; I found out one of my friends is expecting #5 or perhaps #5 and #6! Fantastic news to hear after such awful news the past few days.

BF4- Regarding the behavior of someone in the autism spectrum...I have one niece and one nephew (both from the same family) in this spectrum. My niece was diagnosed about 13 years ago, had assistants and one-on-one "therapy" during school. She has led a "normal" life to date. She is 20 years old, has taken driver's ed, participated in gymnastics and track, is currently in college with plans to be a vet tech and works in a vet clinic. My nephew, on the other hand, was not diagnosed until he was about 17 years old. He is more in what used to be called the Ausbergers' category. My brother and Sister-in-law, had multiple complications with him. He was constantly getting in trouble, not applying himself, doing destructive things, and finally they had to admit him into a home for underage rehabilitation because he started a fire on a neighbors porch. Through all of this, they thought that he was just troubled! It wasn't until he went to the therapy home that he was diagnosed with Ausbergers!!!!! Today, he lives on his own close to his parents house. SO from my experience ONLY, there is a wide range of the spectrum and early intervention seems to have a positive outcome toward helping each child adapt and understand themselves and the world around them.
My statements for you, every child we bring into this world has challenges and strengths. Whatever we, or a doctor, label the strengths or challenges does not limit that child or their abilities. We should advocate for the best we can get for all of our children regardless of their "labels". There are documented individuals that have accomplished great things and I suspect that they (and their parents) believed that they could accomplish the world. But the fact behind all of this, that I believe, is that NO CHILD can overcome ANY challenge without the love of their parents and the belief backing them up that the child can become anything in the world!
You have discovered a challenge in your child path to greatness. I am sure that this has hit you and your family hard, but pick yourself up! Realize that this is not a limitation, its not an obstacle, its not the end! Your child will live a normal life, will accomplish great things, will be the same joy in your life that they have always been. Do press onward getting the tools needed for your child to adapt to the world around them, but do not listen to anyone that says "your child will not have a normal life". These people have already limited your child without even knowing the child's capabilities and strengths!!!!!

Morning all...I didnt get the video uploaded last night and I dont have time this morning to do it either...I am working some new shifts this week and it is going to be rough. My routine is all wrecked here at home (such as it was
)
So I just wanted to say good morning and now I am heading out to let birdies out and feed horses then off to work. I will try to get the video up this afternoon. I filmed it sideways....geez what a dope!

x2 Very, very well said! And so true. A child is only limited by how much he learns. And if he has a parent that is as supportive and dedicated as Bigfam, he will achieve much and be successful in his life.
How far into Racine county are you? This will help me determine whether I can do it this week or not (you know with the holidays approaching...I haven't bought Christmas gifts yet).
Good morning all. Here are some pics of our 4 chickens that we were told are black stars. What do you think? I'm wondering if the two are Copper Marans. And if the other two are silver marans?
