Adie is really cute with her, giving her kisses, playing with her feet, being really careful when she jumps on her head lol, we just have to remind her that she is fragile. Thanks for checking in. Melody says "hi"

At 8:44pm on August 4, 2008, Alan Marshall said…: Of course, I remember you from Albuquerque. How have you all been? Adie (our daughter) has continued to display a lot of indicators of not being neuro-typical, so I've read many of your comments on the topic on Yahoo lists.

We're in Norman most weekends, put usually just pass through and shop at Dodson's on our way to the city. I noticed there are several unschoolers here from Norman. I wish we lived closer to at least a few like minded people.

We're expecting another girl in September - Melody is actually going to a midwife in Norman. We're planning to do a home birth

Good to hear from you, Alan
