Hey everyone, here is what we have been up to. A couple of weeks ago Valley Park hosted a valley palooza for the second year in a row. Last year was a huge success and raised money for a child in Austin's room at school. Extreme Makeover wasn't able to assist them because they said the street wasn't one they were able to shut down for and extended period of time. So they started this music festival and raised money to help out a family who had a son that needed help in making his life easier with his disorder. We went last year and had such an awesome time we couldn't pass it up this year. This year it was for a 27 yr old boy who lives with his mom that works a full time job and his grandma lives with them so she can help out. He has severe special needs. This year they raised over 40,000 dollars. HOW AWESOME IS THAT. I loved that we could help out in a little way. With having Austin you understand the sacrifice of taking care of someone with multiple needs and both stories touched our hearts. The girls loved getting involved in giving back!
Bill has started school two nights a week. I am so proud of him for doing this to make a better life for us in the long run. Austin is still doing great. Sierra is doing great in 1st grade and is adjusting well to the schedule. She also stays busy with gymnastics and dance. Abby keeps me busy while the other two are in school. That's about all we have to report for now...until next time! I wish everyone a happy fall. I love the weather!
