This was the second Halloween that Ryan was able to let us know what he wanted to be dressed up as.  Last year, he picked with paper choices a firefighter.  This year, he wanted to be a SCARY GOBLIN. We tried on some masks in Target.  I was surprised that Ryan kept them on asContinue reading “Halloween and a Book Report by Ryan”

On Saturday, we were fortunate enough to get Ryan a time slot at the A.skate event in Dallas, Texas at 4DWN.  From A.skate’s website, it states that: “We provide one on one skate lessons for persons with autism in an environment that is appropriate to their sensory needs in order to learn. We provide thisContinue reading “Skateboards and Letterboards”

This past weekend, Ryan participated in a local workshop in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area with ACE RPM, the company that Ryan and I originally started RPM with back in January 2014.  We have seen Erika Anderson of ACE over the past 22 months at local workshops in the Bay Area in California, for a campContinue reading “Progress”

On Wednesday, Ryan and I met Kim McCollister, the ASDS (Associate Support Department Supervisor) at the Home Depot #6548 in Keller, Texas.  Kim was gracious enough to agree to take Ryan and me on a behind the scenes tour of Ryan’s “HALLMARK” favorite store. We had no idea that Ryan liked Home Depot so much.Continue reading “Behind the Scenes at Home Depot!”

If you remember, in a previous post found here, Ryan mentioned that he wanted to have his party at North Richland Hills Fire Station #1.  We set that up several weeks back and planned for a Sunday so that all of our local family (Granny, Mark, Aunt Jennifer, Uncle Patrick, and cousins Jillian and Elizabeth)Continue reading “Ryan’s Birthday Week Celebration Part 2 – The Party”

Ryan turned 9 years old last Tuesday.  We started the day with some school work and went to one of his favorite local parks where they have a zip line for disabled children that does not require them to hold on for the entire ride. Ryan has music lessons every Tuesday, so we had thatContinue reading “Ryan’s Birthday Week Celebration Part 1”

What a weekend!  We have had a lot going on that we wanted to share with all of you.  I was originally going to blog about both the wedding weekend and Ryan’s birthday yesterday, but there is just too much to say about the wedding.  I will blog about Ryan’s birthday later this week. Ryan andContinue reading “The Wedding”

I had an idea on Saturday night to bring Ryan to the beginning of the third day of the Autism Education Summit this weekend.  The Autism Education Summit is a national conference on autism and it was literally in our backyard (okay about 45 minutes away).  One of my best friends came into town (herContinue reading “The Autism Education Summit, Sound, and Finding His Calling”

It has been a bit of a difficult week. There is still a bit of an adjustment period for both Ryan and me.  I am trying to find a balance of preparing for and the actual homeschool day (and it possibly not going exactly like I had hoped or planned).  Ryan is adjusting to beingContinue reading “First Field Trip, Challenging Behaviors, and Uncle Dan”

Last weekend, we assumed the role of tourists since my mom (Grandma Chris) was in town.  We had not yet been to the Fort Worth Stockyards, so we ventured out there and met Granny (Randy’s mom) there too.  We had a great time.  Ryan was very happy to be there.   We watched the cattle drive,Continue reading “The Stockyards, Change, and the Game”
