My Grandma Reba.........

Our Grandma Reba is very ill. She has been for months but I haven't wanted to actually write the words. She's been at Hospice House for 9 days. Pictures like the ones here is how I want to think of her. I just took these in October. Two months later she was admitted into the hospital. She is a strong, beautiful, smart, quick-minded, old school, loving Grandma. And I'm not sure what we are going to do without her. I'm not sure what Hokie is going to do without his "other" bestfriend. Other than me, he will tell you, that she IS HIS bestfriend. They have such a tight Grandmother/Grandson bond that is just amazing. She has taught him how to be respectful, kind and most of all ...How To Be "HONEST". She has taught him well.

"Game 2"

We won 8-2 !! Albert played in the first half and did great. These "MEN IN BLACK" are so adorable.... Devin is the one with the green mohawk... and Jesus (Hay-juice if pronounced by the 4 year old on the side line!!) is the one with the beautiful curly black hair who just happen to make "6" .. yes I said "6" of the 8 goals we made ! All of the boys are such good sportsmen.

Kicking through it.........

Last night was Albert's first soccer game in about 4 years. And he kicked and blocked through his autistic fears. He played keeper for awhile at the beginning of the game. He was nervous and with all the people, noise, yelling and BUGS .. he did well. We were proud of him and he was proud of himself. It takes nerve to overcome fears of simple noises that do not bother other people but can annoy or be painful to an autistic child or person. Just to be able to listen to coach while 50 other children are running around and 20 other soccer games are going on at the same time. Yes it was a good evening. And the final score was 3-3. Go "Men in Black" !!
