		<title>Lucas finds an egg!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The other day, Lucas found an egg from a fallen bird&#8217;s nest while walking Dixie the dog.  It had a little crack in it, but was otherwise okay.  We put the egg out of Dixie&#8217;s path, but Lucas was very concerned that I tell his dad about it so that Dad wouldn&#8217;t let Dixie get to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucas goes Back to the Future!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
What do you give a young man for his 18th birthday when he&#8217;s autistic?  A party is out because he has no friends.  He&#8217;ll never drive or date, so there&#8217;s no car stuff or special night out with his girlfriend.
&#160;
Lucas loves the &#8220;Back to the Future&#8221; movies and everything that goes with them.  He has [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Lucas doesn&#8217;t ride the school bus&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s raining again here in Delaware.  It rained buckets last Monday (May 12).  Our neighborhood creek was over the road by 10 a.m.
 
Since we couldn&#8217;t get across the road one way, we went the other way.  But as you can see, this creek was pretty high, too!
 
We don&#8217;t let Lucas ride the school bus, because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Lucas!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Dear Lucas,
I know you probably won&#8217;t ever read this.  But I still needed to write it, because today you turned eighteen, and that means that you&#8217;re a &#8220;man&#8221; now.
My, how far we&#8217;ve traveled since the day you were born!  You had such problems as an infant, I used to think that if we could just get you [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucas goes to the hospital.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lucas had his wisdom teeth removed this past Monday.  We&#8217;ve spent the week helping him cope with the pain, swelling, stiches, and other things that come with having wisdom teeth removed.
 This episode of Lucas&#8217; life began back in February, when we first began dealing with the idea of autism and oral surgery.  
Poor Lucas was very nervous about having his [...]]]></description>

		<title>Autism Walk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lucas, Alan and I spent Saturday in Harrisburg, PA.  LucasWorks was invited by the Autism Society of Harrisburg to attend an Autism Walk/Run, and we had so much fun there last year we couldn&#8217;t wait to go back! 

We had to get up at 4 a.m., because it&#8217;s about a 3 hour drive to Harrisburg and we needed to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucas and his dog.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[WOW, have we been busy!!  The time has really flown by since Easter, and now here we are in April already.
Lucas was home for Easter vacation the last week in March.  He enjoyed sleeping past 6 a.m., and had a great time with his dog, Dixie.
Lucas really loves Dixie, and during the week he was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Easter!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[ For an autistic person like Lucas, Easter must seem very strange&#8230;

We get up early, get dressed and go to Church, where it&#8217;s WAYYYYY too crowded (with all those people who only attend on Easter and Christmas).  
Then we come home, and Lucas hunts for the candy that the Easter Bunny has left throughout the house.  Of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Lucas on Death.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lucas has been watching the movie Titanic for about a week now.  He&#8217;ll watch the actual video, then watch sections of it on &#8220;You Tube&#8221;, then watch a documentary we have from A &#38; E network.
 Yesterday, he announced to me that Jack (Jack Dawson, the lead character in Titanic) did NOT die.  We all remember how sad it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cleaning skills.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The need for consistancy is very important for Lucas due to his autism.   So where does this need go when it comes to putting his stuff where it belongs???  
 For the first time ever though, Lucas is having company of his own.  Another boy in his class is coming over after school today, so I told Lucas [...]]]></description>
