Giving Thanks

This year, I am so thankful for the Autism Bill.  Since we began services in January, all of our lives have improved.  The boys are making so much progress, and Tim and I aren't as stressed as we once were.

I am giving thanks for the wonderful team of people that comes to the house and devotes so much time and attention to the boys.  Every team member truly cares about them and is always happy to be here.
