We have been blessed to have Janelle and her two boys, Zachary and Nathan, with us for a few days. What a difference we have noticed in Nathan since we last saw them in March! Getting a diagnosis and the help that he needed has brought some dramatic results.....he is talking a LOT now....not all of it understandable, but what we can't understand his brother can usually translate for us! He is also easier to work with (as far as his aggression and anti-social behavior are concerned) since he is getting the medication he needs.

Janelle got to see her brother Jon in Nashville before he left for ten days in Mexico, where he will be leading praise and worship for a group of teens from around the country who are involved in building homes for the natives there.

Friday was spent in the amusement park where Zach had his first encounter with a big roller coaster....doesn't look like he is too sure about it! His mom's face tells a different story, though!

I did catch him with a much more pleasant look on his face when we were at the Kent Family Magic Circus show, which he thoroughly enjoyed.
Janelle and Nathan left this morning to drive home, and Zachary will be staying with us for a few more days before he flies home....another first for him! Today we are going to spend catching up on some chores and then tomorrow we will go back to the park for some more fun....after than, we haven't made any definite plans yet, but one thing for sure.....Mimi and Papa will enjoy the time spent with him.
