Almost the end of the Summer

Some good news; my dad has moved back in. Everyone's love and prayers must have done some good. Things are still unsure and up in the air but at least he is at home and really trying to work things out. This summer has definitely not the summer I had planned but things never go the way we plan. It has been an interesting one for sure. It is sad to say that for me, the summer is coming to an end. I have a week and a half left at Hannaford, the grocery store that I work at. And I have an extra four days after that working at the Children's Annex. Then it's back to NC. I'm already getting anxious about getting settled down there. I'm really looking forward to moving into my own place. 

 Things have been crazy this summer with working two jobs and the emotional turmoil going on here at home. My days off aren't even days off, they are filled with doctor appointments an working on my senior thesis by taking pictures at ashby's swim meets.  At least I have a lot to work with. This weekend is DUSO's which is the big championship between all the local swim teams. On Sunday Ashby is also swimming across the River for the third annual fundraiser for the River pool. ( River pool is a community project to make a pool in the Hudson River but filter out all the garbage in the Hudson.) I'm very excited because tho it's his third year, It's my first time getting to see him swim across the Hudson. 

Ashby's Fly

So I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with resizing my photo's. below are some pictures I have taken over the summer.

above is ashby doing his amazing fly and a picture of my cousin Hank and his friend.

Below is a team member and good friend of the family, AJ. He is in midair in this picture. AMAZING! He is such a sweetheart.

Life as I know it is NO MORE

Hey everyone. Sorry for not being able to update so much. There's a lot going on here at home. With myself with working a lot and problems at home. Mom and dad are having troubles and it looks like life wont be the same anymore as we know it.  It's all very confusing and complicated and upsetting. 

 On a good note, I'm enjoying my new job a lot. Working with autistic children is very rewarding. It's hard work because many of them cannot communicate what they want but some of them can. Most of the kids have warmed up to me already and are very affectionate. Each day we work on different things such as reading, language, fine motor skills, self-care, and play. It's all very interesting and fun. 

 Well it's late and I have to work both jobs tomorrow. It's going to be another long day.
