Still no teacher for Jessica

I met with an organization that is suppose to help us find an aid for Jessica. They don't have anyone, and don't think they can find anyone so specialized. It's funny, I felt like calling the meeting off. I just knew in my heart it wasn't the right organization to help us. I don't even know anything good or bad about this group, but I just felt a big no in my spirit. So I met them today and they told me no...they have no one who could work with Jessica. So we will keep looking after the vacation. I don't really expect to find someone until the fall. I figure anyone good is already working with someone until the end of the school year. If you know of someone who wants to be a part time private teacher to a 20 year old autistic young lady, (sorry but we need a women) then let me know. It will be part time, in the mornings. It would be a pretty good job for a mom that wants to be home with her kids in the afternoon. We live one minute away from the s bahn station. It takes just 15 minutes to get here from Heidelberg. Jessica can be very sweet and loving when you get to know her. She will be a little stressful at first. She is not very flexible, and resists change. She has autism, so I guess that’s to be expected. If we hire a person our self, without going through an organization, that person will get more money. So a private contact would be best for the teacher...they would get more money. We want someone who either knows how to do facilitated communication or is willing to train in FC. Our goal is to teach Jessica to communicate on an I pad. We want Jessica to be able to communicate with the I pad, and maybe even become a writer.

We are looking for an Anne Sullivan for our Jessica. A special teacher who can unlock her world!

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.
