Hi all,
Today Team Hyndman is celebrating Nick's 18th birthday! We are so grateful for the day he was born, his life, and he is the best son anyone could ever ask for (and big brother!). Happy 18th Birthday Nick! We can't wait to see what you do next.
We are having a party to celebrate Nick's 18th birthday, graduation, and starting college this Saturday and can't wait to see our family and friends! There are so many of you who have been there for us from the beginning and are always there for us and we're grateful!
Nick starts at The University of Toledo on Monday August 22nd. We've had a lot of "bumps in the road" and some things are still being worked on but we are hoping he gets off to a great start. I PROMISE to update the blog after we get Nick and Isabella settled into school next week. I have so much to post about that has been going on with us and also, I'm learning so much information about college for individuals with disabilities that I want to share and will. So, until then, we'll be busy celebrating and getting the kids started in school. Isabella had her orientation for Jr. High this week and starts 6th grade at the Jr. High next week too! She was nervous about her locker, getting to classes, the bigger building, all normal things kids worry about. We practiced and she was able to do it all like a pro! We're so excited for her and Nick both!
Blessings:)
Amy
Happy birthday Nick, and happy first day of college on the 22nd.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Isa, too.
Thank you Adelaide!
ReplyDeleteNick is, as I'm writing this, at the university for his first day of classes, with Greg, because we don't have a van with a lift yet to get his power chair to and from the U, and we've been told it could take three months for us to get the van modified:-( So, we're taking it week by week, just trying to get him started and settled this week and we have to come up with a plan this week to get him to and from the U every day and from class to class. I'm sure it will work out but we're stressed to the max right now. I'll blog about it later........
