January Moments

Brennan is always imagining and figuring things out from a different perspective. A few nights ago, we had our friend Monica over for dinner and Brennan decided we would make yurts out of chocolate chip cookies. So, he made the circle roofs and had everyone decorate one. Then, he created our 'village'...


A couple of nights before that, we had Ben's brother Jake over for dinner. We were all visiting and eating dinner and Brennan called our attention to...
his creation:



This is a four year old boy that I am so enjoying right now. He was diagnosed as Asperger's (on the autism spectrum). Since being in a healthy home (about 3 months), he has made a literal complete turnaround. He is talkative, engaging and even photogenic :). When I first met him, he wouldn't make eye contact and was almost completely non-verbal.
He wouldn't even look at the camera three months ago...



My sweet niece Oneyla turned 1 (January 24)
