Some major things have happened in the passed 8 months!!!

Isaac is in 2nd grade and made the A Honor Roll - his behavior has been excellent.

We had a very nice Christmas. We spent it with Meemaw and PawPaw of course. Meemaw got a donkey. Isaac got to spend the weekend with Devin - they have not seen each other in over a year. So they had a great time.

We have learned some new techniques to help him concentrate in school and we are both working on behavior and making time for each other. His counselor, Colin, graduated him and took him off the Stratera. He and I both agree it is not ADHD - it is mere boredom. He is very advance for himself and gets bored easily. So we have worked with his teachers to give him extra worksheets or more computer time. So he is not in the middle of everyone else. So far - so good. I will keep you updated on his progress. This is a kid that almost got kicked out of school last year to A honor roll this year - we will never give up though. I feel if I let him know I am leery on his progress - he will feel it too...I refuse to let him think that about himself.

As far as me. I have landed me a spot in a wonderful company that has worked my hours to allow me to spend much more time at home. I think this has made a huge difference on our lives. We have more time to enjoy the funner side of life.

There has been a lot of wonder on both of our sides about what type of relationship - if any - his father wants to have with him. He does not call him. Isaac was crushed this Christmas when there was nothing under the tree from any of his family on his fathers side. In their defense most of them are Witnesses and do not celebrate the holiday. But, his father is not. And yet he still chose not to send anything. I am not sure why - but his birthday is coming up in February so I guess we will see...

Now that reminds me - Isaac is having a birthday party in February - so I will post pictures as soon as we get them done.

OK - well, I think I have taken up as much time as I can now. So, I will end on this note...

"Never give up, it will stop raining sooner than later."
