Thank you, Ali, for the link to Michelle's blog entry about autism. While I'm not dealing with autism, I am learning that even things such as ADD require the parent to be advocate. I am not saying that my son deserves special treatment, but as a parent, I have to learn how best to help Aaron learn. I want Aaron to be responsible and independent, and for me that means that I have to let him fail sometimes so that he understands that there are consequences to not knowing how his learning disability affects him. Your posts about Simon and your links to others who deal with similar situations are really helping me get through this difficult academic year. Thank you again.

Glad you are having fun! Can't wait to here about your White house visit! Have a great day Ali! Kim

It's great to hear that you guys are having such a fun time. Say hi to Danelle for me (my teacher from CKU San Jose).
You do look pretty cold in that picture. I know you will be in California in a couple of weeks. Usually, we would have beautiful weather for you, but it has been a tad bit nippy around here lately. Hopefully, it will warm up soon.

I had so much fun at your classes this weekend (the projects were gorgeous and so much fun to create)... and most of all getting a chance to meet you and spend some time talking. I hope you have a safe flight home and look forward to talking to you again. :-) Lisa

Ali-
It was so great to meet you yesterday at Get Croppin. As I told the guy at registration, "I feel like I just saw Elvis!" Class was wonderful - hope you return to the East Coast soon!

You have got it goin' on!!

yes it is cold here in Virginia, glad you had fun! Hope you got to take pics inside the white house, and will share them??? (I hope!)

I agree that you look Fab in red! And it DOES look cold. Have a safe trip home!

Ali.................so glad you are having a great time! I know you cherish this time away at times......as you recharge the batteries to cope with everyday life.
You and Donna really do make a difference in this world believe me!
If I had to sum you up in one word....it would be Ali................. inspirational
and Donna.............. creative

Thanks for the link to Michelle's post about Autism. It made me think about my son (Tourette's and ADHD) and the way I need to start approaching this and being an advocate for him. Your posts are always inspiring, in one way or another. TFS!

is that george w and barbara in the background waiting for you guys?

Thanks for the link to Michelle Ward's blog. My cousin has shared with me some of her hurdles with her daughter's autism (her story has many similarities with Michelle's). Thanks for the link and for sharing your personal stories as well. I am trying to educate myself so I can be a better support system for my cousin.
As a group we can make a difference.

Hello from Virginia (I'm in Richmond) !!! :)
