Never a dull moment

There is never a dull moment living with Ashton. May has been a tough month, but there have been a few rainbows in the clouds as well. To celebrate Ashton finished his 4th grade homeschool year. As I reflect back on the year, I feel like I can say with a little bit of confidence that I didn't do any worse than the virtual learning he would of gotten at public school. He is currently enrolled to attend his home school Liberty Elementary next year. Hopefully that will be a good thing for him socially, since he has high social needs and he can meet other kids who live closer to us.

He also continues to be very creative and innovative. Creating all kinds of fun contraptions. Here is one of his latest made from a bed sheet!

Last weekend we had a fun time camping with our friends, including Ashton's 1/2 sister Arianna. His birthmother Taylor showed up with her two youngest Paisley and Noel and annouced that she was unexpectly pregnant with baby number 6. A baby boy due in October or November. Ashton seem unfazed by the news. Although he swears up and down he doesn't like his sisters, he did enjoy spending some quality time with Arianna both while camping and the following Wednesday at a informal get together.

We also received an updated photograph his birthfather from Ms. Tiana (Mr. Rick's wife) of Mr. Rick serving in the military somewhere in Africa.
