Snow in Vegas


They managed to find it.



Carson is doing well lately in school we are really excited to see his improvements with writing sentences. It has been hard for him at times and he has broken down in tears a few times in class when he is frustrated with writing. I got some good advice from another mother about dyslexia and how to test for it. Most public schools don't look for it. His teacher has been great to work with despite his tears. He is such a wonderful boy and really has no other problems other than his speech and writing. I know that this is going to take time, and it sure does. Homework time with him can take hours to accomplish, but it is so worth the time spent when I get a report back from his teacher saying he is taking a part in writing his sentences with his peers and that he got 100% on his spelling test:)

Yea for snow!

Carson is such a sweetie. I had a speech problem all through elementary and still today it comes out once in a while. You are a wonderful mom for taking the time with him and being patient.

Good work Carson! I'm glad you are working so hard in school. You are awesome!
PS..I'll call ya this week to talk about Thanksgiving. We will come down, I just don't know how many days we will be down there.

So what's up with you? How's the massaging going? Are you teaching at the school and have you found a Chiropractor's Office to work in? I hope it is all going well!
