Progress



I've been a bit preoccupied this week with my mom's visit. We've been having a very great time, but also relaxing and making mocha drivethrough runs every chance we get. My diet has been on the back burner, but hope to resume it ASAP. Today we're off checking out wedding chapels for my daughter's upcoming wedding. Yesterday, while checking on the new home's progress, my little furry friend "Sawdust" reappeared all wet and dirty. I tried to find his owner, with no luck ... so took him home with me; he needed a bath, food and some water. Later I called the police department and they sent out someone from the shelter to pick "Sawdust" up; he was only with me for about 45 minutes ... then gone. They were going to scan him for a microchip, give him a vaccine, and try to find his owner ... and assured me that he'd find home ... hopefully his home.

Nathan has been progressing in school. Yesterday his aid wrote that He walked to his fifth grade class without any assistance (big milestone). The aid is trying to stay in the background as much as possible and let Nathan interact and participate on his own during the time he's mainstreamed with the fifth graders.

Have a great week.
