Accelerated Reading?!?

I've gotten a couple of complements about Matthew's reading skills from his teachers. He may actually be getting accelerated reading material to bring home. Wow! Who knew that would happen after ALL we have been through? I always underestimate his abilities so I can be amazed by what he overcomes!

Chatterbox

In these past few weeks, Matthew has turned into a regular old chatterbox. It's almost to the point you want to tell him to be quiet for awhile! lol Who thought I'd ever say that? He'll even come up to Grandma out of the blue and ask her stuff or tell her to come see something on TV, of course wanting her to buy it for him.

Maybe someday we will fill in all of his puzzle pieces and take away the autism label that has been printed on him for so many years. If not, that is ok today. I still make my stand when needed with the school district and whatnot.

I got in!

Yes, it's true. I accepted into Nursing School. Very exciting times ahead for sure. :)

Wedding Detail: Wedding Favors -- Raquel Leeper Photography

So I couldn't resist. I gave my sister her wedding favor box early just because fall is much more beautiful than I'm guess St. Patrick's Day will be, probably, cold, rainy, or snowy....

So here it is:

The candle and magnet tile were both purchases off of Etsy. The soap is handmade by Irish Twins Soap Co. in Beresford, SD.

Enjoy this beautiful picture.

PS Matthew is getting pretty excited for the wedding too. :)
