Some of my favorite people….

This is my nephew, Julian.  He’s such a hoot!!  I can’t even tell you all the funny stuff he comes up with.  He has an unusually dry and sophisticated sense of humor for someone his age.  He also is autistic, but has been so blessed.  He’s mainstreamed at school and will begin the sixth grade this coming year.

He’s a mean bowler on the Wii and has tournaments with his Aunt Jodie every time she’s in town.

This is my grandnephew, John Taylor.  He has a smile as big as all outdoors on his face every time I see him.  It just lights up a room.  He’s not as outspoken as Julian is, but he’s making headway everyday.  He’s also autistic.

He’s quite happy playing alone and loves being outside.

This is Jayden.  He’s John Taylor’s younger brother.  He is such a ball of fire.  Once he got walking down, there’s been no stopping him.  He tends to be a little shy and he’s still pretty young.  He’s also autistic.

He’s just like any other little boy in so many ways.

 

 

 

Our family is blessed with so many unique and one-of-a-kind children.  We are a big, warm, loving and accepting family.  We realize it takes more than just parents to raise children in this day and age.  All these young men are special and wonderful in their own way and have enriched all our lives tremendously.

A mother who has TWO autistic sons is a human being created with more gumption, love, and strength than most. I'm in awe. God gives the gifts according to the need, I believe. May He bless your family and those beautiful boys.
