This is the theme that I will be endeavoring to adopt for this new year! Those who know me, know I like consistency, and routine. I believe this will be a year that will stretch me in areas I have not even begun to think about!!
David will be continuing with his Masters in Management (MIM) program a the local university. He is also continuing with every physical activity he can prod his body into---we are abundantly thankful for the health he continues to have and for medication to keep things under control. He is the hardest worker I know and I am so amazed that I have been blessed to have him as my husband!!!
Danielle and Ryan are planning to be wed on June 5th at an outdoor site here at home. Ryan is presently looking for a job after his year long deployment with the National Guard in Kosovo. Danielle will continue to work at the Reagan Ranch as a Curatorial Assistant.
Erinn and Michael are planning to be wed on July 3rd in a church wedding, which will probably be much larger, as both families are from Medford. They will then be headed to Fort Hood, Texas where Michael is stationed with the army. At this point it looks like Michael may be again deployed in the fall and Erinn would return here to finish her last two terms at the local university to get her degree in Anthropology. But with the army, nothing is ever certain.
Drew is always keeping us running, forgive the pun!! He is presently narrowing down his college choices for the fall. He will be enjoying his senior year in track with his eyes on the state championships and hopefully junior nationals. His graduation date is set for May 15. He will most likely be heading out to school about the same time Erinn is returning if the army stays on schedule.
Caleb will be continuing to work on his sensory integration issues. We are so excited about the improvement we are seeing. We will also be working on some new ideas with listening and responding and also with helping out Hannah with some of her lessons.
Hannah will continue with speech therapy and most likely begin some OT for sensory issues this year too. We are planning on taking the school issues very laid back for the rest of the year as I will have enough on my plate and I really feel she just needs more time. She has been getting lots of comments on how far she has come!!

Our wedding is planned for July 4th ... I'm glad that I am starting out as "mother of the groom". I'll have to get "mother of the bride" tips from you, as I am expecting a boatload of weddings in the next couple of years.
After all our weddings ... I think you all need to come out to the island for some REST and RELAXATION (with some running and bike riding thrown in). Hope we can plan some time together this coming summer.

For Sensory Integration Issues you may be interested to check out the Free Sound Therapy Home Programme available from Sensory Activation Solutions. Their Auditory Activation Method builds on the pioneering work of Dr. Alfred Tomatis (Tomatis method) and Dr. Guy Bérard (Auditory Integration Training) and has been specifically developed with the aim to improve sensory processing, interhemispheric integration and cognitive functioning. It has helped many children and adults with a wide range of learning and developmental difficulties, ranging from dyslexia, dyspraxia and attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder to sensory processing disorders and autism. It is not a cure or medical intervention, but a structured training programme that can help alleviate some of the debilitating effects that these conditions can have on speech and physical ability, daily behaviour, emotional well-being and educational or work performance.
There is no catch, it's absolutely free and, most importantly, often very effective. Check it out at: http://www.sascentre.com/en_free.html.
Girl...you're busy! :) Sounds like a wonderful year ahead.
