Hello again, You would think with the kids gone to camp this week that we would have a ton of time, no that is not the case and the week is flying by. I am going to go to my parents tomorrow night and then pick the kids up on Saturday morning.
I apologize for not drawing the name on Tuesday, but I had Heather draw the name tonight.
The winner is Mom in the trench, so if you could send us an email at JeffnHeather(@) (usfamily.net), ignore the parentheses, and give us your address we will mail that out to you.
Thank You all for your comments, I went to a seminar tonight for fathers of fas children and I have to say I was very impressed with the speakers, especially John Hays, who is a father to 11 children with FAS. He has a website www.hayskids.com and I would encourage you to visit, he has a ton of information to help parents with strategies on raising fas children.
I also want to put the word out to all the fathers out there to take advantage of trainings and seminars, and I would be happy to hear from some fathers and maybe we could build a support group either online or in person, there is so much information out there.
Also Mofas sponsored the seminar and I would encourage everyone to go to their website also, www.mofas.org , there is a ton of resources on there.
Again thank you all for your comments.

Baseball and a good attitude!
DS played in the state baseball tournament today and his team won both of their games today. They will play 3 more games tomorrow and the last game will be for the championship or for 3rd place. What Heather and I were most happy about was the great attitude all the kids had, their coaches have been great with teaching them that by having a good attitude and working together, they will have more fun and as we saw today, win more games.
DS had some problems with his anger at the last city tournament, so we were very nervous how he would react when he struck out. He did not strike out until the 2nd game and had some very nice hits and a great catch in the outfield. He handled striking out very well and we are hoping for more of the same tomorrow. It is going to be a tough day day for the boys, they play at 11:00 am, 1:30am, and 4:00 pm.
Heather is going to be driving the kids to summer camp as soon as the 3rd game is over. Camp is 4 hours away in WI, so she is going to get a hotel and drive home on Monday. I am going to drive next Sat morning to pick them up and then we will head to my parents for the rest of the weekend. I feel bad for Heather, she will be sooo bored at home all by herself-HaHa.
Regarding my contest, I am going to have Heather draw the name on Tuesday night before we go out for our date night at "The Melting Pot", a wonderful fondue restaurant in downtown Minneapolis. So tell your friends to click over and leave a comment and they will be entered. Thank You for all the great comments I have gotten already, I really appreciate it.
I need to go and help Heather pack the kids for camp, oh wait, she says that she has it handled but thank you for offering. Oh well, I would probably forget something, she is way more organized than I am.
Again you all have till Tuesday- look for the post- the faces of FAS- and leave a comment.Thank You again.
