OK so its been 7 months since I've posted. Its not that I haven't tried or wanted to...I changed something...somewhere... and can't hook my photos up to the posts.  (I really like posting with a picture - you'll notice I have rarely posted without one)  Well you can still see my recent uploads to flicker on the side so if you see something that catches your eye - you'll have to click on it and look at it on flicker.  Lots going on the last few months.  I broke my pelvis the last day of March and told everyone about it on April 1st - yes everyone believed me even though it was April fools day.  I am lots better but in the mean time we have gotten Dalton in to see several specialists about his uniqueness.  Turns out his hearing is great. His Speech Therapist called him brilliant several times during his visit this week - so he is for sure high functioning, but on the spectrum - only, in Utah insurance companies exclude Autism Spectrum Disorders - so if we get him diagnosed (like we were going to) all of the therapies, and treatments that he needs aren't covered. I'm torked!  At least we can get his elopement (running away) as a separate diagnosis so maybe it will be covered... (not holding my breath).  We are re-arranging our family life to accommodate his peculiarities (fenced and gated yard, locked doors, safety vests, personal tracking devices, and lots of retraining of family members to always know where he is and to keep everything latched and locked all the time) (I really want a service animal but don't have an extra 10K) it is going well though.  The kids have really taken the responsibility to heart (and the neighbors are helping out too - they have saved him once already).  The last few months have been anything but boring... Life is good though. Love you guys - Angie
