Thanks everyone for your comments and emails and kind words about my "Being Real" post.
I honestly honestly posted it for the release of all my pent up frustrations, but I gained something truly special from it.
I learned that even though life's struggles can be lonely at times, there are people who understand or WANT to understand. Thank you. Love you all.

And, just so ya know, my husband and I are not the only ones that have to adjust to the autism life (as I call it).
Andy deals with a lot himself.
In a day we do about 9 trips in the car to and from school, therapy, and doctor's appointments.
This poor thing barely gets a nap some days.
Even though he is in the terrible twos, thinks he knows everything about everything, is stubborn as can be, . . . . he is a trooper. When I have to wake him up from his nap, before he even opens his eyes, he says "Go get Buddy?" (that's what he calls Christopher). He gets up and he gets his shoes on and he gets in that car even if it is the 9th time he has done it that day. We love him.

I am trying, now that Christopher is in school, to give back some of that one on one attention that Andy has missed in the chaos of this difficult year.
Today is September 1st.
To me, that means fall!!
And, what a fabulous "fall" day it was.
The temperature only got to 74 today and there was a light breeze and dark clouds. It felt great!
So, Andy and I celebrated by making some cinnamon rolls.
He had a blast putting flour in the mixer.
I tried not to show that I was anxious about the flour pouring onto my counters and floor :)
We had a great time together and we are happy to be spending some Mommy-Andy time.
Are you excited for fall to arrive?

My problem with fall is that although I like it, I can't help thinking that winter comes next, which I don't like!
Love, love, love Fall because Winter will come and lay snow all over the yard so we don't have to mow and weed! Yippee! In the meantime we are making Marinara sauce with the tomatoes and BASIL :) and eating corn, beans, squash and peaches. Asian pears and nectarines are not far behind. YUMMY!
Andy you are a TROOPER! oxoxo
Andy looks sooooo excited! My second born loves the attention she gets while Shai is at school. We do alot of running ourselves :) those cinnamon rolls look DELICIOUS!
Those look delish....I will be right over! (I wish)
What is it about cringing at the flour on the counter? I can't help it either. I love fall too. My fave. And I wish I could have some of those yummy cinnamon rolls.
