We drove to the Alabama build today, watched as they were starting the roof and siding.
Eduardo and Tracy was on site but Paul was the only one we got to see at the time.
I wanted to volunteer however they were filled with the volunteer efforts.
It was a great day to go and see.

Wow, what a change....

Thought I'd post this..

Above is the Alabama Build 2/21/2009

Below is the Atlanta Build 2006

Well here are some pictures for Christmas 2008. We had a day full of fun, and I was able to test my assembly skills....

We have a visitor.

With halloween coming, we don;t have to go spend money on a fake spider when we have the real thing....



Here's an idea of just how big....


And all would have been ok if he just would have stayed in his place....(I relocated him now I did not kill him)

Now, just to explain we did not prompt in any way what you are about to read from Adam,It took a bit of time for him to tell us what he wrote.
And as you will be able to tell he has no idea about marketing and product placement.

Some how Penny's pictures disapeared. Here are some great shots of Penny and the kids having a fun pool day.

Hey Friends,
Dale and I wanted to share a joyful event with you all in our lives...
As many of you know, we have been training a service dog, (Penny) to help us find Hannah (one of our Autistic children) in the event of one of her " AWOL" (absent without leave) moments...
Also, Penny is being trained as an "anchor" to help Hannah stay put which will be
helpful at the park, in grocery stores, in restaurants and the library etc..
"Penny" has thus far stopped 2 escape attempts by Hannah and has found Hannah 4 out
of 5 times in our neighborhood and park practice runs.

Today, Penny and our family went to our first restaurant, we were a little nervous.
We went to La Parrilla on Jonesboro Rd. in McDonough, GA and I gave Penny a great
big A for her performance.
Forks and cookies were falling off the table left and right amidst tantrums and fidgety kids and Penny held her stay, left the cookies and tuned out people, flying forks and tantruming kids!! She was at complete rest...Wahoo!!!!!!!!!

I'm so feeling like we just hit a major milestone...and I wanted to Thank God for His help and wisdom in our lives...and I wanted to take a moment and "praise Him in the assembly" so to speak....so here I go....Wahoo!!!!!!!!!!!!! God is soooo Good!!!!!
Also I wanted to let you all know that the people at La Parrilla were so very kind and accommodating without their help this experience, would have been difficult but they were friendly, accommodating and seemed very concerned about our dining experience being a good one, and it truly was.
We give La Parrilla on Jonesboro Road McDonough, GA. (Inthe BJ's & Target Shopping Center) an A+ and hope that you will consider dining with them now knowing that they were a special needs friendly establishment.

We love you all and just wanted to share our excitement over what God is doing in our
lives,

The Crissey Family
