RJ is in the 4th grade now and starts Wed. in his autism class, with a new teacher for the 4th and 5th grades. Hard to believe I have an older elementary school student now! Will get pictures of all three kids and post soon. Colleen is a senior! All the festivities that go along [...]

Transition to spring – Leave a comment
The Snowmen (NOT CHRISTMAS, MOM! lol – she put the Christmas bow with them – “that’s not right,” as Ryan would say). They are ready to go to the attic, all condensed and ready for their box as soon as I get it packed (Monday?) Still have two lone snowmen decs on the mantle [...]
Seems fitting to attend a great barbecue the week before school! Leave a comment
Sometimes it’s challenging to get through the summer easily trying to keep two rambunctious boys happy and safe in the heat. But all in all I think we all accomplished this this summer. We have worked as a team – Chris stays at his paternal grandparents’ still (while we await, seek, and research the appropriate [...]
birthdays with business as usual. Leave a comment
16th birthday party is all done and in the books. I think Colleen and her friends had a good time. I worked on and off the whole time, and we had a busy weekend with also taking Chris to the park with Ryan and Rog too. Rog is feeling a lot better. I actually still [...]
8 years old – thoughts Leave a comment
Technorati Tags: children As Ryan (here eating fries when we briefly stopped at the park a few weeks ago) was climbing on my lap today, I started thinking about how soon that may be getting harder for him to do. He is a tall boy, still skinny, and can still fit upon my lap even [...]

DSC00670 Originally uploaded by criscollrj Wow, June 18th already. AND one month, one day on Weigh Down/Thin Within. I WILL DO THIS.

Graciously accepting help Leave a comment
I was just thinking this morning that this is one of the lessons I’ve had to learn. I’ve been thinking about, what are the things I’ve had to learn in this walk we’ve been on in life? Graciously accepting help, though I’ve not yet gotten very good as ASKING for help; accepting my limitations; and [...]
Where’s Chris? At the blue house… Leave a comment
1-26-03 005 Originally uploaded by criscollrj. Chris has been at his new home over a month now. It’s going very well! It’s odd though to have him gone. I know he’s getting a lot of outings, is on a very good routine, and with the low-fat diet he’s on he’s lost 11 pounds! Ryan has [...]
Almost time for my fall background change! Leave a comment
Ryan, my photographer. Wow, it’s been a really long time since I updated. I’m not even sure what I wrote about exactly last (and don’t really feel like looking right now) First, after taking tons of pics like this with my camera phone, Which he really wasn’t supposed to to do but got away with [...]

Ryan’s roster Originally uploaded by criscollrj. Ryan’s list of his class friends – he did this on his own and put on his wall (notice other artwork beneath – the chalkboard paint can’t come soon enough!) Ryan H, Colin, Ryan R, Gryphen (i think?), Jack, and the last one I can’t make out…. He’s 6 [...]
