Hope everyone had a nice Christmas. Derek made it through the Christmas play. He was a cow and said his part well. He loves to hear his voice in the microphone. Derek gave me a nice verbal gift last week. Our aunt had brought pizza for lunch. When she was leaving Derek said "Thank you for the pizza." That is huge for him. I was so happy. He did well through Christmas. He enjoyed opening packages and mail. We went caroling on Christmas day and he even sang with us. We are so thankful for these improvements. It is wonderful to see how God has brought Derek along. We are going to attempt a sleepover with our church youth this week. I am not sure how long he will last. He still gets overloaded easy in crowds with poor sound control. Thank you all for checking on us and praying. Have a Happy New Year!
Shawn, Cheryl, Kayla and DEREK
