2 Years and 2 Days

2 years ago and 2 day on this very playground- that was the day and location where Al and realized that we were being called to adopt.  What a humbling experience to have ALL our children on that playground playing together....

New School for Asher

It took forever, but finally Asher was found eligible for the Early Intervention Program! This means a small class (8 kids, 2 teachers and multiple therapists every day!)!  The best part, according to Asher, is that he will ride a school bus and get to take a big backpack!  He will start on Jan 5 and our good friend Elizabeth will be his before and after care teacher!  He will also continue at Goddard on Wednesdays- the day that EIP is closed.  We are so excited for this next step in helping Asher!

Ms. Craig and Ms. Harris!
