The Last Two Arrive Home

Well, today I am blessed with the arrival of Kevin and Emma. Yay!!!! I have missed Kevin soooooooooo much. (Emma, too...but she's only been gone a week) I cleaned Kevin's room top to bottom and we even made him a nice desk area for his laptop so he doesn't have to share it when he comes home. I am thrilled he's coming today. I spent a good part of yesterday reading all about Asperger's Syndrome to REMIND myself of Kevin's disability so I'd have more patience with him. It's sooooooo easy to forget, so frequently I will remind myself of the symptoms, etc and it seems to help when dealing with Kev. I'll be sitting down with the rest of the kids in a few to remind them, as well, so they are kind to him when he gets home. Kev can't WAIT to see everyone and I know he'll jump on them all and I want him to get a HAPPY reception! Not a "get off me" from the gang!

So, this officially draws all summer travel plans to a close. Soccer starts again in 2 weeks, the kids all have books to read and projects to do...so it's time to get ready for school!!! (the countdown begins...)

Well, that's it, for now. I'll write more later after Kev and Emma are safely home!
