In this episode, we review a few books that we have read including one that we are slowly going through together to strengthen our marriage.

• Your True Self is Enough (Author: Susanna Peace Lovell)
• Becoming Brave Together, Heroic, extraordinary caregiving stories from mothers hidden in plain sight (An Anthology from "We are Brave Together")
• How to Build a Thriving Marriage as you Care for Children with Disabilities (Authors: Kristin Faith Evans and Todd Evans)

In addition to taking action steps recommended in the book, we are also watching the Rick Warren online study, "What on Earther Are We Here For?" Both of these resources are helping us align together for God's plans for us in this next season of life.

We also share some highlights from the past week including homeschool, an IMAX movie viewing, and community service sewing pillowcases for Ryan's Case for Smiles.

Bryce's Bible Class is from Bob Jones University. The first grade curriculum was a perfect fit for him, and the second grade curriculum, "A Servant's Heart", appears to be a good next step for him.

In this episode, we talk about Bryce's recent 24-hour EEG results as well as ABA changes for a new season. Bryce's ABA plan is being updated with more life skills for his age that we will begin to implement at home. We also chat about some "wins" with latex balloons and faster recoveries from recent meltdowns.
