Last week I shared that I was anxious about how Matthew would behave at my dad’s 80th birthday party bash.
Want to know how it went? Take a look at these photos for some clues:
My wonderful dad
Matthew sharing "Pretty Woman" with his cousins
Dad with his grandchildren
Matthew with his uncle Scott
Me with Andy, Matthew's younger brother
IT WAS SO GREAT!!! Thank you for the good vibes you sent our way.

Have you read my book yet? I think you should.Go to www.laurashumaker.com
to read the first three chapters.
I'm the mother of three boys. The oldest, Matthew, is autistic and I've been writing about my experience raising him from babyhood to young adulthood for about 4 years. I've read my stories on NPR and published them in magazines, newspapers and anthologies, including VOICES OF AUTISM. My book A REGULAR GUY: GROWING UP WITH AUTISM was recently published and is being very well received!!
I'm a fifth generation Californian and live in the San Francisco Area with my husband and three sons.
Glad it went well. I have a little more hope for our future!
Heartwarming!
