Charlotte and Sarah
Endorf created an
eShow that ends at
11:59:00 PM
9/20/2009. You can
contact them at this
email address:
endorf@cableone.net
and the site address
is
www.ubah.com/HOS152981.
Sarah
graduates in May
with her Associate
degree in Early
Childhood
Education. She’s
building her library
of books to teach
with. We had a
friend that did
daycare for us when
our children were
wee ones who took
advantage of these
quality books.
Spencer especially
loved the touch and
feel books. We
thought you might be
interested in books
for your kids,
grandkids or
school. By ordering
from the eshow site,
you’ll help Sarah
achieve her book
library goals. The
kids you’ll purchase
for will benefit
greatly. Think baby
showers, birthdays
and Christmas…it
will be here before
we know it! |

They Call Me Teddy |

“Teddy goes from dog
pound
disappointments, to
an apartment
dwelling family of
four who become
virgin dog owners.
This
experience is
prompted by the need
to experiment with
what is known by dog
lovers as the magic
of ownership!
The lovely
lady of the house is
Charlotte, who hopes
to save Teddy from
destruction at the
dog pound.
She
also wishes to know
if a family pet
would be beneficial
in alleviating the
migraine headaches
she suffers, and if
a pet could possibly
help her daughter,
who suffers
constantly with the
lingering
debilitations of
Lyme Disease.
Their puppy
selection process,
always difficult,
finally is down to
the stray, Bichon
Frise, who won them
over with his quiet
manner and simple
doggy smiles.
With daughter
Sarah it was love at
first sight, and
husband Kevin was a
goner when Teddy
licked his hand and
gave him a big juicy
kiss!
Son Spencer
was not to be an
easy win since he
had his heart set on
getting a great big
hunting dog, not a
fluffy ball of fur!
They did
finally choose the
Bichon Frise, and it
became a huge
priority for Teddy
to try and become
indispensable in
every way so that he
could win the heart
of son Spencer.
Teddy
not only wins the
love and affection
of this entire
family, we see how
the process of
easing a dog into a
family, forms a
special bond of
mutual love and
companionship.
It is through
this bonding that
Charlotte found that
since Teddy came
into the family, her
migraines are
becoming less and
less a problem.
Sarah still
suffers the effects
of Lyme Disease but
she is enjoying the
love of a constant
and faithful
companion.
Anyone who has a
dog, or ever had a
dog, should enjoy
this warm, fuzzy
tale and will
identify with the
puppy antics all dog
owners cherish.”

devoted owner of two
very special dogs

“On Saturday, April
18, 2009 Kevin and
Charlotte had the
pleasure of
attending the local
in-service training
at the Lifelong
Learning Center in
Norfolk sponsored by
the Nebraska Foster
and Adoptive Parent
Association as
foster, adoptive,
guardianship,
respite and kinship
families came
together for a six
hour training.
Whole Brain
Parenting, and
Respite Parent
Training were
learned as well as
the feature pictured
here by Janie and
Roger Peterson,
‘Jailhouse Rock’. |

Sharing backgrounds
from Boys Town, I
truly enjoyed their
“how-to, how much,
how effectively to
praise and
discipline methods
no matter if the
child is a baby or
age 15. I’ve
already read their
books ‘The Sleep
Fairy’ and ‘Mini
Methods or
Madness’. They will
also help our
daughter who is
majoring in Early
Childhood
development at
Northeast. We all
share the same
vision: working
together with
families and
community to give
children a chance; a
chance at success, a
chance for a
future. I
|
|
|
hope to tour their
Omaha or Lincoln Behave’n
facility one day.

What It Means To Be The Parent Of A Sick Child |
| |
|
It means knowing that everyday is a blessing and a gift.
It means knowing that you are the luckiest person in the world, just to be a parent.
It means cherishing every moment, every breath with such intensity that you feel tears come to your eyes for no reason.
It means praying for a miracle to save your child's life.
It means praying your marriage is strong enough to endure the hospitalizations, separations, and grief.
It means praying for the will to live, even if your child doesn't.
It means your own heart knows a pain, no parent should know.
It means feeling weak, helpless, angry, and depressed because your child's fate is out of your hands.
It means feeling strong, determined, and brave because you know you have to be.
It means your love knows new unlimited boundaries.
It means your pride in your child's accomplishments is unparalleled.
It means your pain has taught you a deeper sense of compassion than you ever imagined.
It means we are all united by the same feelings.
It means that we all know the mixed up emotions of dealing with death - but more importantly of living with life.
It means that even though we are strangers we are more to each other than friends could ever be. |
