Happy Birthday to Nick!

We just celebrated Nick's 34th Birthday. Isaac requested that we make Daddy a lion cake. Nick was a good sport to settle for a boxed cake mix and store bought frosting(not to mention the amateur decorating job) instead of a delicious Texas Cake or Double layer homemade chocolate cake like his Mom would have done. Isaac was pretty proud of it though! When Nick started Medical school 7 years ago, he said I'll be 35 years old when I'm finished. I thought that sounded forever away, but now just one more year to go! Nick's next birthday will be a huge celebration for our family.

Savannah likes Chinese

It's a long story but somehow three chinese people ended up at our house in Kansas to watch Isaac during one of his therapy sessions. Emily invited them over to dinner before the session, so we fed the chinese BBQ shredded pork sandwiches. They didn't like the lemonade.

The Chinese have started a program in Beijing China, called Stars and Rain Education Institute for Autism, and were here in Wichita learning some of our programs. Isaac has been receiving therapy for 2 years now. He has made great progress. He will be going to a communications disorder kindergarten class next year and will also do some speech therapy which will be one-on-one. He can read at a second grade level, but still struggles with speech at times and socical skills. He is now potty-trained, which has taken place the last couple of months.
Back to the Chinese, Savannah latched on to Scott(the Chinese guy), but wouldn't go to the girls. Sophia, as usual, won't go to anybody and would scream if they got too close.
