Young Love

Gabe worked hard all week and earned himself another Parakeet.I'm very sure he learned his lesson....meet Romeo & Juliet....The second we put her in the cage with him he was so happy, it was the cutest thing...he was cleaning her and rubbing his beak against hers over and over...she just kind of stood there...she was in shock i think from the being caught and having her wings clipped, but im sure they will be great together.....

Lesson Learned~

 Sunday was a sad day..:*( Gabe went upstairs to see his parakeets before we left for church and was in such a hurry he forgot to shut the door behind him and the cat came in and took the parakeet he was holding right off his finger and killed it.he was SOOO upset, he cried all the way to church and the next day.so now i am on the hunt for another baby parakeet to keep the other one company he is missing his mate and in my search someone offered me 3 cockatiels! cage toys and all! she paid 250 for all 2 birds! and gave them to me for free.two are babies and one is 5 or 6 at least now till we can find another parakeet, he wont be so lonely.they have been chirping to each other all morning! ~Gabe says he wants to save up his allowance and get one from the pet store...he feels so bad...he kept saying..im so ashamed of myself, and that he tries to save her but he just wasn't fast enough.:*( lesson learned i guess..make sure you shut the door!

The Darker blue one is the one who met the unfortunate demise :(

Meet the cockatiel's Snowy,Sunshine,Petey,and the lonely Blueberry

Triumph & Tragedy

Today we had a triumph & a tragedy....The triumph being Eden found Silas's long lost blanket! he lost it MONTHS ago, and has since became attached to a blue blanket with flowers, but when he saw his horse blanket it was like two old friends seeing each other for the first time in years! i had to wash it because it was outside.Amazingly it came clean!The first thing he did when it came out of the dryer was stick the corner in his ear.....ahhh just like old times!

And then the Tragedy...Silas has a BAD habit of sitting to close to the  TV well he was goofing off and fell right into the corner and got him self a nice indent in between his eyes!

Finger Painting Fun!

 Had some paint so Silas and I spent the morning finger painting!

Lehigh Valley Walk Now For Autism 2012

***SAVE THE DATE***
We would love it if you could come out and walk with us on April 17 2012.We have participated for the last 2 years and the kids have a blast! If you want to join our team just click on this link http://www.walknowforautismspeaks.org/lehighvalley/team4silas and click the the join team button...its that easy! Or if you can come out and walk with us but want to donate to a great cause go to the top of the page and click donate and then support a walker and you can use my name or Silas's name.

The latest statistics from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that as many as 1 in 110 children have some sort of Autism Spectrum Disorder.The study done by the CDC has monitored 8 year old children across the U.S. since 2000.More surprising is that the study makes mention of a 57% increase in Autism disorders since 2002.

Can you imagine hearing the words"your child has autism"?In a split second, life-as you know it-has changed.For a different family every 20 minutes, tomorrow will never be the same.

By participating in this event,you are helping to change the future for all who struggle with autism.By walking,you are getting us one step closer to finding what causes autism,how to prevent and treat it,and ultimately a cure so no family ever hears those words again.Until then,we walk to find answers and raise awareness about the devastating toll that autism has had on families like ours.Together,we will find the missing pieces.

Silas was diagnosed with PDD-NOS,possibly change diagnoses to Aspergers when he is older...both of which which are on the Autism spectrum,and AHDH

Thanks so much and hope to see you there!

No school!

The kids didn't have school today so i thought it would be a great chance to get a few pictures..they are growing up way to fast!
