Life Skill Chore Done!

It took a while, but Nick managed to get the dishwasher unloaded. We also opened up a beautiful gift to Nick and John from one of our viewers. Johnny and I are considering learning to kitesurf. Shannon and I spent a few minutes strategizing for our parking lot pizza shop. Overall it was a great day!

Hi Julie. Yes, I really believe you are right about that. I ask God each day what shall you have me do ? The answer is always support your family and do your best.

That’s some beautiful beach scenery to be sure! ❤️ I get confused as to what direction you’re looking at though because the camera is often reversed (something that iPhones inherently do in selfie mode.) I really like that you and Shannon do fat bike rides on the sand and how Nick paints shells and those wood project kits. I’m hoping after all the hard work that your back yard becomes his oasis. Do you play corn hole? If not it could be fun for him.

I’m not sure if I am imagining this, but it sounded as if Nicky said that he had a headache, when you were asking him to come down and help with the dishwasher. I’ve replayed it, a number of times, and I’m still not sure. Maybe that’s why he seemed a little sad. If so, that was awesome communication.

Hi, I started watching you all in the past couple weeks, as I think KZbin suggested your videos due to watching fatheringautism. I am a preschool early interventionist who often has to help families come to terms with the new diagnosis of autism. It is helpful to watch teenagers like Nick and Abbie to see what is coming down the road for our families. You seem like such a nice family. I was curious what denomination you are? I'm sure people have asked you this before. I see a lot of scriptures and inspirational quotes

[@NickyTVFamilyVlog]

Hello my new friend. Thank you so much for the message. I really appreciate that you decided to spend some time with us. I really enjoy the fathering autism series as well. I think there are a host of benefits for people to Become more aware of what our families look like from an insider's point of view. As far as religion is concerned, I have a deep personal relationship with our Lord Jesus Christ and I speak the word of God over my family on a daily basis. If it's OK, I'd rather not elaborate any further than that. God-bless you my friend and have a wonderful day.
