Back to School

As of August 10th, I'm an official college student again. I'm taking classes at Columbia College and majoring in Human Services. I have my associates degree in Liberal Arts. So now I just need my bachelors degree. Columbia is a little different than other colleges. They have 5 eight week sessions verses the semesters. You are only allowed to take 2 classes per semester. The whole Human Service program is online. Right now I'm taking Working with Individuals and Case Management. I'm trying to get use to adding school work into my already busy schedule. It's getting a little better going into week 3.

Thunder Island

On August 9th, Jaylin and I spent the afternoon at Thunder Island. He was away for the weekend at Glenwood and I picked him up at noon then we headed to Thunder Island. The FEAT of CNY group was holding an event there so we attended. We had fun going down the slides in our tubes. We are hoping to go back before summer is over.

Familycapped Picnic

Well, we are in the right month now. On Thursday, August 6th, we attended the Familycapped Picnic. We always have a great time at Familycapped events. I had to take a moment to snap a shot of Jaylin and Molly.

Chief's Game

On Saturday, July 25th the Syracuse Chiefs had a Disability Awareness Night. Jaylin and I met our friends, the Cosentino's at the baseball game. Jaylin loves hanging out with Darius, Lucas, and Sam. Tina and I have become good friends so its always a good time with the Cosentino's. The game was pretty boring until the end when the Chiefs stepped it up and won. After the game there were some fireworks.

Congrats Heather & Karen

What a year we have had with graduation parties this year. Of course Jaylin has loved all the parties. We ended with Heather's party (July 18th) and Karen's party (July 25th). Heather and Karen are both staff of Y Kids Inc (Jaylin's after school program). Jaylin loves them both. We are happy that they will both be staying in the area and still be working with Jaylin.

Baby Maxwell

On July 24th, my friend Alex welcomed her son, Maxwell Joseph, into the world. He was born at 253 am weighing 7 pounds 2 ounces. I went up to visit them when he was less than 12 hours old and was the first person that was immediate family to hold him.

Valley Field Days

So for the last month or I've been slacking on blogging. I'm trying to catch up. On July 19th, we met up with my friend Lucretia and her family at the Valley Field Days. Jaylin had a blast riding the rides. He loves all those crazy rides. Here are some pictures:
