Keyshaun

This is Keyshaun. He has been with us now for two weeks and will likely go home later in the summer. He is 8 years old and a good kid. He's alot of fun to have around.

Kylon

Ok, so it has been some time since I blogged. Sorry about that. Life has been sort of busy around here lately. On Easter we got a 14 year old boy named Kylon. He was here for a couple of months and then left last weekend. I will post his photo. Nice boy. Then as soon as he left they asked us to take another young boy. And I do mean young. Sort of. He is 8 years old. Wow! We have had him for a week tomorrow now. do I know how to do young kids? I am not sure. It's not like I have grandkids nearby to practice on all the time. I am so nervous. I had to buy some kids books and toys. I was blessed to find a book in the thrift store right away that was teaching me how to deal with my Eight Year Old. Wow! Awesome. I love it. It helps alot. My younger friends have helped too with many ideas. I signed him up for day camp Monday to Wednesday and on Thurday I take him to a group therapy program that takes kids hiking and works with them that way. It's lots of fun. Friday is bonding time for the tow on us :0). We will plan play dates with friends at the park nearby and other fun things together this summer. I am sort of getting the hang of it. We both takes naps in the early afternoon. I am not sure who it helps more, him or me. He may be here a few months or so. He is such a sweet little guy.

The photo here is Kylon.

We also got a new dog. (Photo above.)

A "Red Heeler" almost a year old. She is a very sweet dog. Barney said"she fills an empty spot in his heart since Buddy got hit by a car and died on Christmas day". We have had "Baby" for a few months now. She is still an outdoor dog and she loves it but sometimes Barney lets her come in. She is house trained and is pretty good but lots of hair everywhere. That not just because of my cat either :0) who is a big male Silver Tabby who may have a MaineCoone mix. Sweet cat. Kitty is his name. (Photo Above.)
