FALL IS HERE

You'd think my daughter would have less on her plate now that fall is here. Our BBS child, Ian, is in residential school during the week, and his brother is done with fall baseball, but my daughter is very busy. She's created a lovely necklace business that is in it's infancy, for moms who have kids in sports, and for grandmoms with grandchildren's names and their birthday crystals. Lovely. She is also working 30+ hours a week - more until Christmas, with holiday promotions needed by her employer - Nintendo. She loves her job, and her kids, and her husband, and their home, and she does so much.
I'm back in our home in Blue Ridge VA now, after 2 months at our Nebraska home, and although I only left 3 days ago, she's already feeling the loss of someone to help out - the things I love doing: picking up Thomas from school when she has to work late, driving Ian down to his school in Nebraska City early on Monday mornings and picking him back up on Friday afternoons. I love spending that time with the boys, and then going shopping and out to lunch with my daughter.
It takes more than just the parents of BBS kids to care for them, as your responses to our BBS Caregivers' Survey shows. (If you haven't yet taken the survey, PLEASE take 5 minutes to do it at:

And, being the grandparent of BBS and non-BBS kids is so very rewarding, but I don't need to tell y'all that, do I!
