The house is ours. We have a verbal contract with the lawyer on the phone, and we sign the papers after church on Sunday.
It's official.
We close in 30 days.

Every day brings something new. Watching our son overcome his autism is like watching the sun breaking through the clouds during a storm...the sun (and our son) are always back there behind the storm, and every now and then we get to see beyond the raging clouds. And it is beautiful.
About Me
- J H
- Meet the H-- family: A, J, K, and Z. This blog is random observations (from my point of view) of life with my son, A, who is autistic, and some other ramblings about gardening, cooking experiments, craft projects gone horribly wrong, and other life vignettes to keep family and friends updated on the rest of our lives. I love my little guy! The posts that describe A's challenges are typical for my son. Autism affects individuals and families in many different ways -- this is our journey. The title "A Slant of Sun" is a book by Beth Kephart, and is an encouraging and beautifully written testament about her own experiences with an autistic son.
