I am a single mom to Justin, my heart. He has been a joy to spend every day with. Justin will be 11 years old next month. We are so excited because he is going to have a Superman birthday party with his friends at the ARC respite weekend. I am going to try to put a picture on here, but if it fails, I will keep trying. Well, all of my pictures are downloaded on my computer. Not on a site. Will have to look into it. Sorry. I hope to be able to find so much information on this site. And I am looking forward to getting to know you.

Welcome! I can't wait to hear more about Justin. I love his picture! I'm so glad you found this forum, it's a great place!

My granddaughter, Olivia, is my reason for coming to this wonderful place. She will be turning three soon, and is such a joy!

I hope the party is lots of fun!

Jennifer, yes Justin is a bit large. I am not sure what happened....lol.... I am waiting for a call from his doctor because we had some blood work done last week and I am hoping that something is going to change in him. Part of it is that he is just plain lazy. That is also why I am looking for a 3 wheel adult trike that he can get outside with. He is always inside. We are not out much.

Justin is at a middle school. He has been there for 1 1/2 years already only because he and the teacher he had in the 4th grade had a rough time together.... another long story. He has not had any consistency in school with his teachers. I am hoping that this year will be a good year. He needs it. I think he is considered 6th grade now.

Your daughter is so beautiful. All of you have beautiful children. I have to admit. I am so addicted to this site that now no other exists....lol....
