Alex all "fired" up after Son-Rise Start-Up

Here's a clip of Alex full and overflowing of the 3 Es (energy, excitement and enthusiasm) with Remy on Sunday... just 3 days after he arrived back safely from attending the Son-Rise Start-Up Program.



What will we do next? I feel that the program is going up to a new level as Remy's eye contact and attention span increase!

Love and peace,

I wish to point out that that these were just individual gifts.  Nancy and fund raising team have also been knitting kitchen towels, salvaging materials from old clothes to making unique purses, selling things at garage sales... Thank you all for all that you're doing for Remy's Room!  In addition to the financial help, we also truly and deeply appreciate the time that family members have taken to come help us watch the children.  We're all part of a team... actually, one New Frontier mate put the perfectly:  The Remy Recovery Team :)

No matter how small the amount or a thought you think you have to contribute, it all adds up!  It's the collective spirit that is made up of little pieces.  Thank you for putting forth your contribution.

Love, Peace and Prosperity,
