2 month hiatus!! Hello summer.

I keep getting these guilt email updates from my blog site that tell me how many people are checking in. I immediately erase them and think "I'll write a post tonight". And then I don't. It has been TWO MONTHS since my last update and I am sorry for that!! Sweet Molly has had so much going on so I'll give you a quick summary and hopefully get back into the swing of writing since I can take my laptop to the pool and write while Molly swims.

Let's see....we had just gotten back from Spring Break in San Diego the last time I wrote.

Beautiful prom people

Since then I got hired as a script writer for an amazing company called Gemiini.  Gemiini.org Check out the information video they have on the website. Very informative. They create quick videos to help children with special needs learn how to speak. The videos model appropriate behaviors and interactions as well. Most of their videos target the little kids. They hired me since I have an older daughter on the autism spectrum and have a little insight into the needs of older kids. Many of our kids needs are (sadly) still the same as the younger kids. Yes, we still help our kids wash their hair. Only Molly's bangs get clean if left to her own devices. They are REALLY clean too!! Some families are actively involved in ALL bathroom aspects. Count your lucky starts if you don't have to help your adult child with those things!

Soon they will start producing my videos with older actors which will be cool. The script writing learning curve was steep in the beginning but I am quickly understanding what the company is wanting and soon you will be able to see videos teaching our kids "Stranger Danger", "How to cross the street", "How to invite someone on a date" (what to talk about on the date, etc), "Appropriate Internet Use". It has been fun and allows me to still be available when Molly gets home.

Brooke also got a new job and is back in Orthopedic Sales.

Jack and his team had an awesome lacrosse season. They went to the state semi-finals! This is only the second year in his high schools' history that they have gotten that far (last year was the first). Their goal is to make it to the finals next year. And win it ;) He will be a tri-captain for the team and is looking forward to it!

Looks like Molly was bummed that she wasn't going to prom this year.

Awesome rainbow after a deluge during one of Jack's lacrosse games.

Jack had Prom and After Prom. ACT's and SAT's. Ended with a good GPA and is looking forward to club lacrosse, camping with his pals and his first job! Molly had speech therapy, music therapy, "work" and many long hikes in the mountains with her dad and dog. She looks good doesn't she? She's is great shape from her speed hiking.

Life has been full and we are looking forward to a little summer down time. The pool opens this weekend and that is one of Molly's favorite places to be. Look for me on the hill with my book or laptop!!
