Congrats on the jobs, Sheri and Wendy!

My best moment so far this year was when Ben graduated from elementary school. He's on the autism spectrum and has other special needs because of a genetic disorder. There are definitely times he's a difficult kid to teach or parent, but at graduation there were some little moments that showed us just how special he is to the teachers at his elementary school. One of his former aides started crying when she said goodbye to him and asked me to send her updates next year. The principal gave me her camera and asked me to take a picture of her with Ben--she was in a lot of parents' photos, but the one with Ben was the only one I saw her request for herself. His teachers this year gave him an award that only a few kids in the grade got for setting goals and working hard to meet them. I know what an awesome kid he is, but it's so nice to know that others see that in him, too!
