It's been a really difficult upbringing for him. I've always tried to be encouraging and positive to him and all of our kids' friends. He just gravitated over here quite a bit.

It's been very positive. In the typical November to December shopping season we would expect 3.5 million shoppers, and a little over two million of that occurs in December.

It's been an easy transition. He fits in real well here. He has the same standards we have for our kids. He's had a really great year. He's pulling his grades up and he's working really hard. We're really proud of him.

He slowly became a regular presence in our home.

We ended the season on a very positive note. We are working to building up the program in the future.

You have to change your thinking if you desire to have a future different from your present.
