Did you miss us? Lots has happened since the blog was updated regularly. Here is the quick and dirty overview.
Thomas is now four. He was diagnosed with autism when he was two. We are getting ABA behavioral therapy in our home about 18 hours a week (3-4 hour sessions 5 days a week). When there is no school he has been getting two sessions a day. He is progressing really rebeccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02366992997140067774noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1279265269481099151.post-39980566216582099462013-08-26T11:38:00.000-05:002013-08-26T11:39:12.101-05:00This Blog is DeadI don't think I need to tell any of you people, but this blog is dead.

Don't put a box on top of a chair to reach something taller, get a bigger chair. Stacking your bases is bad news.Daniel has learned this lesson. We will learn it again when we get the bills.
