Our UPS man is like a member of our family.  He has been coming to our place, rain or shine, twice a day for the last 7 years.  When Elijah was born last year, he bought Eli a UPS outfit as a gift.  This is Eli meeting UPS at the loading doc.

Your little guy is a unique student. He already works very hard internally to be able to focus and learn. A lot of trial and error may be needed on your part to find his learning style and the curriculum choices that will best meet his needs. Be creative, lean on the Lord for insight, don’t worry about failed attempts, just move on and try something else, be flexible, and lighten-up on yourself. Kids with special needs (ours/autism) are ‘tough nuts to crack’. You will be blessed by the experience more than you can imagine (we have been). No doctor can tell you the extent of his potential, only God knows HIS own plans, and our God is a BIG God. Our son is an ‘A’ student in college now, and a young man with a deep faith in the Lord! Enjoy your boy, enjoy your journey, talk to others on the same path (it helps you feel connected, understood, and normal).
One last note… have fun, * I used to teach my other student her math lessons and go over her errors with a hand-puppet as the instructor (use a fun voice accent it really makes correcting and re-teaching a child less threatening).  Love in Christ, Joan

A couple of weeks ago our family arrived at the Creation Museum. We had greatly anticipated the visit. We were provided 4 free media passes, which gave us the opportunity to write a thorough review for my blog. We were surprised to learn that our day would also include an interview with the CCO and VP of Outreach, Mark Looy. We must have seemed a bit befuddled as we winged our interview with questions that came to our mind on the spot as Randy jotted the answers into his blackberry. It is the stuff memories are made of! Mark was a gracious and informative host. We give a hearty thank-you to Mark and to the Creation Museum for their hospitality and free passes.
