What a weekend!

Michael was sick for a good part of the weekend, so there isn't a lot of news there. But, at one point he was talking with Uncle Dan and told him - "It's getting cold outside .... Uncle Allen and Cousin Jenny and Cousin Johnathan will come to visit soon." I was totally blown away when I heard this.

Steve's extended family comes to visit twice a year - once over the summer (around their Mom's birthday), and once around Christmas. I know that Michael doesn't pay much attention to Christmas, but I didn't realize that he paid so much attention to when people came to visit. I thought it was so cool, considering he hasn't had all that many Christmases to come up with such a great generalization.

I know that I mention the Age of Autism site a lot, but it's one of my favorites. I would ask you to please read this article about Gulf War Syndrome. It really makes some great connections and makes you think about all the things we aren't being told.
