I thought that I would lighten things up just a little bit today by sharing some Cute Pet Pics. In this picture we have Elliott's kitten Greysha, sleeping next to Emmett's dog Bella.  This is the first time this has happened, because they are still getting used to each other.

Since Operation Hope began late last year, we haven't made a significant amount of progress.  Lizze has been to the Cleveland Clinic and we know what we need to do for her, but we don't know how to do it.  When it comes to Gavin, we've made no progress on his fragile health.  We have however, found a direction to go in.

I have purely unselfish motives.  ;-) When school is canceled, there…

It's no secret that getting an #autistic child to eat, especially when they have sensory processing disorder as well,  can be next to impossible at times. I thought I would give you a bit of insight from my experience with my own autistic kids.  My kids are extremely picky eaters.  That's why when food allergies come up, it's an absolute nightmare to deal with.  Over the years,  Lizze and I have found that our boys tend to be very visual eaters.  By visual eaters I mean that they are very sensitive to the way their food looks, tastes and smells.  They are also incredibly sensitive to how their food is presented as well.
