Autism Walk

Yesterday was the Second Annual "All Out for Autism Walk" here in Arkansas. There were a lot more people there this year than last year, even though it looked like it could pour down rain any minute. Luckily, the major rain held off. It sprinkled a little, but it didn't keep us from doing the two mile walk with some really great friends we have made through the autism community. It was an amazing day. Here are some pictures from our fun time.

I have been so worried all year long about what I was going to do to keep Evan busy this summer. My prayers have been answered! He has been invited to participate in a program with a well-respected organization in our town to go to a class for four weeks where they will be training teachers to use a learning technique that works very well for Evan. I am SO excited about it because he will get the benefits from the class...two teachers working with him for four hours a day for four weeks...and more teachers will become trained in this teaching method. It will be great!

As if that wasn't wonderful enough, two moms that I adore have founded a camp for our kids for this summer. It is called A-Camp (An Awesome Camp for Kids with Autism). He will get to go have fun at "camp" on the weeks he is not in class! I am SO excited for him!

His mornings will be full, but we will get to come home in the afternoons to play. We are doing some improvements in our backyard for lots of summer fun and they should start this week. I'm so excited about this, too. More on all that later, but for now, it is something we are doing mainly for Evan. So far, there is just an orange stripe painted on our grass. Can you guess what this is going to be?


Hope you all have had a blessed day!
