		<description><![CDATA[WOW, it&#8217;s been crazy around here!
We were really busy in April for Autism Awareness Month; we attended an autism walk in both PA and in DE, and enjoyed filling lots of orders at LucasWorks.
Of course, the rest of life was busy, too.  I had Lucas help plant some seeds for a garden, thinking that if he [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Things have been pretty busy here lately.  April is Autism Awareness month in the U.S., and we&#8217;ve been working hard making autism awareness jewelry to sell at some walks we&#8217;re attending.
But something funny has been happening, too.  We&#8217;ve been coming up short on our autism lanyards; they&#8217;re disappearing faster than we&#8217;ve been selling them.
The other day, I looked [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lucas participates in Special Olympics through his school.  Last week was the Basketball Skills competition.
He enjoys hanging out with his classmates at the gym.

When it&#8217;s &#8220;Basketball Skills&#8221;, they don&#8217;t play an actual game.  But they DO have to shoot baskets, rotating positions and taking turns.  Here&#8217;s Lucas, getting into position (concentrate, concentrate&#8230;)

He shoots!  He scores! Go Lucas!

 &#8217;Tis a fine day for the celebration of Saint Patrick, who brought the Faith to the Emerald Isle!  
Since Lucas and his brother were little, they&#8217;ve had green milk at breakfast on Saint Patrick&#8217;s Day: 

This was one of the first ways we got Lucas to start pouring his own milk.  I used to put just [...]]]></description>

There&#8217;s about six inches of fluffy, white stuff on the ground.  It&#8217;s 5 below with the wind chill, and even the birds have taken refuge from the cold.

We really have to bundle up when Lucas walks his dog Dixie. 
Lucas is enjoying being out in the snow&#8230;poor little Dixie isn&#8217;t!

Off they go on the freshly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Mom, I want&#8230;turkey fried chicken!&#8221; Lucas said.  From the way he paused after the &#8220;I want&#8221;, it was obvious he wasn&#8217;t sure what to say next.
 But turkey fried chicken?  What the heck was that?!  (We don&#8217;t even have &#8220;turkey fried turkey&#8221; in this house!)
After he repeated it a couple of times, we finally figured it [...]]]></description>

Lucas just got around to writing his, &#8220;Thank you for the Christmas present&#8221; notes last week.
These days, Lucas types his thank you notes on the computer, and folds them into a note card size.  Then he stamps the front of the card, and signs his name on the inside.
I help him make them look special by letting [...]]]></description>

But Christmas is tomorrow, and I find myself with ten whole minutes to share this photo of how Lucas helped to decorate our house this year:
