One week left of school

Jess only has one week of school left. He graduates this year and will receive a diploma. He only needed 5 credits in 2008 to graduate. It will be the end of our having kids in the school district for the last 30 years. I wish Jess was on his way to college. He wanted to get his computer science degree. We are not sure what direction we will head now.

Brandie is pregnant and will be leaving us on July 3rd...Jess' birthday. She has been an incredibly wonderful addition to our family and we will miss her very much. We have not heard from the Cleveland Clinic so we have not been able to look for someone to take her place. This is a real test in patience!

We have gotten Jess to blow bubbles through the little kid's plastic wand, make a sound on a harmonica and blow on a whistle. Tracy, our speech therapist, has gotten him to stick out his tongue and touch his lips. He is still trying hard to lift his left knee up and his eyes are tracking in all directions now. Little improvements that mean so much. We just keep on keeping on!
