Speech Therapy

For the past two months Alli has been receiving speech therapy. Today Julia, Alli's therapist, was very pleased with their session. I should really say the Julia has been very pleased with almost all of their sessions, however today Alli showed more promise and enthusiasm with objects which do not interest her much. We are trying to get Alli using a speaking device to help her communicate with those around her. Alli is non-verbal and this can be very frustrating for her and those around her. I hope that she continues to grow and understand the device, this would make all of our lives easier. I guess I can only hope it does any way.

File Extension pdf

As the world of technology is ever changing, so is the way business meetings are run. Now days travel is no longer a requirement as video conferencing is becoming more popular. The worry of sending documents or having documents on the internet having the chance of being altered is getting to be a thing of the past. Adobe Systems has created a file extension pdf. PDF stands for portable document format and it's main purpose is for document exchanging. What does this mean for us? It means we can now look at documents on the internet, have it look very similar to the way it will look when printed on paper, and we will no longer have the worries of changes being made to the document.

CAP Conferences

Today we had CAP conferences for Cole, he will be a freshmen in high school next year. A CAP conference is where students, their advisor, and parents get together and decide which classes are best for the student to be taking. They have required classes they need and they are also able to take a few electives. Cole will have a very busy schedule next year. I sure hope he adjust well to being a high school student. Homework and studying are not his strong suits, so I hope he likes the classes he has enrolled in.

Learners Permit

My fourteen year old son Cole has just passed his driving test, which means he can now drive a car as long a parent is with him. Cole now finds any reason under the sun for why we need to be going to town and it is never as simple as going from point A to point B. Not only do we have to take the longest possible route getting there, but there must also be other places we need to go. Not only does he want to drive everywhere, but he now thinks because he is driving the car he can control what radio station we listen to and how loud it will be. Boy does he have a lesson or two to learn yet.

Mounted Deer

On Saturday Cole will be bringing his first deer home. This is not just any deer, it is his first buck that he shot earlier this fall. This is the reason why John decided we would get it mounted. Cole is so excited and Saturday cannot get here fast enough. For the last few months all I have heard about is how great it will look on the wall next to his dad's "Buck":) Needless to say I am not to happy to see another one on my living room wall. I guess if it makes Cole happy it makes mom happy. I just don't want to see anymore on my walls. The men in my life will have to build me a new house with a room just for their stuffed animals.
