I've been gone for a while, but finally have more free time to spend on-line. I spent the last two years in VA Beach working with children with Autism and aggressive behaviors. It was the best experience that I have ever had as a teacher. I loved my job, and wish that I could have packed up my students and brought them with me. We are now in Bamberg, Germany until 2012. Casey is doing well. He's 4 1/2, and has really come a long way. He's still receiving speech and OT, but is also doing well in a regular preschool class. I have a new daughter, named Emily. She's just over 6 months with a full head of hair!
I can't wait to get back in touch with everyone.

I'm Chrisandra ~ married to my best friend Gordon. Mom to 6 awesome kidlets. Adrianna 11, Madison 10, Cierra 9, Samantha 8, Connor 6 and Amelia 1. I am a used to work 50+ hours a week at a stressful corporate engineering job turned unexpectedly SAHM when people stopped buying cars. My husband is also currently a SAHD due to the same reasons. But on the bright side we live in Michigan, so we currently get 79 weeks of unemployment. The kids keep me busy. Adrianna is struggling to try and figure out how to be a teenager, she keeps us busy with having to come up with new, creative punishment. Madison is my competitive baton twirler, she is currently getting ready for internaltions this summer. She won one silver and two bronze medals last summer at the Junior Olympics. Cierra also twirls, but just for fun. She is an awesome Byronic with very little social skills but she is so sweet. She won a regional beauty pageant and was crowned queen for her age group. Samantha is the quite shy one. She is busy with girl scouts this year. Connor is my one and only little boy. He just started a bowling league with Gordon. It is an awesome thing for them. Amelia is my baby! She won her regional queen title at a beauty pageant also! At the state competition, she came in 1st runner up (out of like 36 babies)! She is busy learning to walk. Gordon, the 5 oldest kids and I are also involved in Tang Soo Do. We just tested tonight, and most of us will be moving on to our orange belts. It is been a long year for me *learning* how to stay at home, it is completely a different type of parenting, that I had no experience with before. I think I have it down now ~ so I plan to be a round lots more  New to GFR
