WELCOME
We are here to share our family’s year-long journey toward independence. Join us for the ups and downs of Dylan and Jolee, our Autistic young-adult children, as they navigate the new world of living on their own. We hope you will find value, humor and perhaps even inspiration in our family journey that we like to call “Exiting the Nest”.
Hello everyone and thanks for visiting our blog. If you are interested in updates and new blogs postings, please leave us a comment with your email address. We will never sell your information. We are just excited to share our story.

Happy 4th of July! Jolee’s characters are having fun watching an amazing firework show. From left to right, we have Paintbrush, Lightbulb, Taur, Scramblez, Prince, and Harmony.
We are going to be taking some time off from the blog this summer and heading into our move to Wisconsin. Please feel free to provide any feedback or drop us a line if you get a minute. Many thanks!
