Autism Walk and a few steps forward...

Blogger has been weird and acting up. I was wanting to post for a few days but couldnt get logged in. Maybe its updating their site. Who knows...Anyway...here I am :) I wanted to post about the Autism Walk. My family came down ( Grandma and my niece Lily) Some friends, the Kline and Fluker Family and Sharon W. Even Marin's best friend Jennifer Portillo. We had a great start...nice weather. We made t-shirts and lapel pins for Autism Awareness. It was a nice experience. A bit different than when we walked at the ZOO. UNF was nice but the Zoo gave the kids something special to do after the walk. I was driving home feeling as if we needed to have some more time. So we took the kids to Egan's Point in Fernandina and let them all RUN ragged. When we were all really tired we did the good ol' McD's ice cream and headed home. We topped the day w/ a wonderful meal. Counrty Spare Ribs, Mashed potatoes, Broccoli and rolls. This is a cause close to our heart. We pray for research to shed some light on WHY so many young children are being affected by this disorder. Since Jon's been diagnosed it has risen incredibly fast. We started w/ 1-200 kids, then 1-150 and now its 1-94 !!! Something SOMETHING SOMETHING has to be affecting them. Its got to be enviromental...something we give them or they absorb somehow. Regardless we have to do our part. We did...raising over $600's for the walk. Small steps but positive ones...GO JONATHON'S TEAM....We <3 U SON.
