What a day

Our nights have been filled with dance parties and fun. Here's Ben from last night:


Happy Birthday to Heather's Katelynn! We're thinking of your whole family as K undergoes heart surgery in the coming days.
Sad to share that one of the men I have worked with over the years in a variety of projects passed away on Friday.  Ken was a person with some of the most complex, complicated disabilities I have ever seen.  His parents made sure he attended every function possible, over the years.  Had he been born to other parents, Ken surely would have been institutionalized.  Judy and Roy swore they wouldn't hide their son from society and ensured he enjoyed life to its fullest.  I will always remember Ken's smile, which was about the most definite expression of happiness.
