The Lonely Blog

Well with the craziness of Facebook, I've totally neglected my blog friend. Here's an update as to what we do (and sometimes don't do)!

August marks our 3rd year to raise money for Autism Research Institute. http://www.autism.com/ AUTISM IS TREATABLE! Zoowalk for Autism is Saturday, September 25, 2010 https://www.ariautism.com/zoowalk/phoenix/index.html I have agreed to continue my seat as Team Coordinator again this year. Meeting all the wonderful families who give of themselves to help provide research and treatment for millions of kiddos around the world. ARI ~ WE LOVE YOU! Jim Adams ~ without you and ARI, we wouldn't have gotten our boys back. THANK YOU!

Our RAFFLE is to begin August 1, 2010! Again we will be raffling off an iPod, movie passes and a restaurant gift card. 1 ticket for $5 or 5 tickets for $20. All proceeds go to ARI. Your donation is tax-deductible. ARI's 501(c)(3) number is 95 254 8452. You can make your donation online at: https://www.ariautism.com/zoowalk/phoenix/teams/Mister_Millian.html

LAST WEEKEND - We got to listen to Dr. Andrew Wakefield speak. Callous Disregard ~ This man has given his life for our children. What a guy! http://astore.amazon.com/books.best.buy.price.deals.cheap.books.discount.on.sale-20/detail/1616081694

Lovey is trying to make a name for himself playing guitar with Sinister Ego. http://www.sinisterego.com/home.html They played with Powerman 5000 last week and had a blast. July 17th they are headlining their first show. 9:50 is a much better slot than 6:30. ;o) Congrats Guys! August 9th they are opening for Tantric and Adema in Tucson at DV8. Someone come with me. I need company for the Tucson event. Update on the legal front: Waiting on some medical evaluations. Lovey is feeling a little caged in and needs another outlet. Anyone want to jam? He needs to play more, but hangin in there!

Mister Millian - That boy can play some mean Mario. He can dance his little butt off too. I challenge anyone who thinks they can beat him to COME ON OVER! LOL Autism wise: We are a bit whiney and requiring some stimulation. Chewing alot and needing redirection. Still only eating about 7 foods. I'm going to guess that's Mommy's fault. He was doing so well for so long, that we all got a little lazy. So back to training for Mom and providers. We got this! ;o) He starts MAINSTREAM kindergarten on August 11th. I'm so very proud of him.

Marissa (Sister) - That girl does more at 3.5 yrs old than both my boys put together with a combined age of 23. If I could just get her to sleep. She's a bit like me. Stubborn and determined. I like that in a chica! ;o) Now I just have to figure out how to guide her energy as she gets older and older.

NOTICE: I just got off the phone with a new friend who also has an 18 yr old in the legal system unjustified. Check their story, sign the petition and send the email to the media. Our KIDS NEED YOUR HELP! http://avoiceforneli.com/?p=76

Love to my peeps!
Dios esté con usted,
