Robert will be moving to Jonathan's house in September. Jonathan and
Robert get along well and both enjoy attending Saddleback Community Church and
participating in
MYART
Theater group together. Since Robert's roommate, Hope,
passed away last September Robert has been seeking the perfect living
situation. Both Robert and Jonathan are looking forward to being roommates.
Robert is excited to make the move and get settled in so that he can invite
Kelly over for dinner. In September, Robert and Jonathan will return to MYART
rehearsals for their upcoming play, "The King and I."

Robert continues to profess his love for Kelly every day! He and Kelly
generally get together several times a week. Sometimes Robert even visits
Kelly and her family at Kelly's parents' house. We are so happy and thankful
that Kelly's mom and dad have welcomed Robert into their family. Robert and
Kelly are still engaged and someday hope to get married. Robert says for his
honeymoon he would like take Kelly on a cruise.
Besides thinking
about Kelly all of the time, Robert participates in the SUCCESS Day Program
during the week. Robert loves to help anyone who needs him. The staff at
SUCCESS have worked with Robert to determine his vocational interests. Robert
volunteers in a number of locations throughout Orange County. He especially
likes volunteering opportunities where he gets to assist senior citizens. In
his spare time, Robert likes to come over and visit his younger brothers. He
enjoys showing Shawn how to play with various toys. Shawn always smiles when
he sees Robert so we know that Shawn loves spending time with his older
brother.
Robert continues to participate in MYART Theater group. He is also interested
in joining a bowling league. Jim is working on getting TEAM SILCOCK into a
local league.

Hey brother hope you’re gonna do well
Here are some words of advice
Moving out is a big step
Some aspects are scary, some nice
Feels kind of strange to be out of on your own
You may feel lonely at times
When you have to pay the rent yourself
Independence may not seem so fine
Chorus:
Are you ready to take that next step?
I know that it’s all for the best
Are you ready to take that next step?
Time to be leaving the nest
Hey brother don’t you worry too much
I think that you’re ready to fly
You can listen to music as loud as you want
And act like a regular guy
You can talk on the phone as long as you like
You can stay up half the night
You’ll be free to have a girlfriend
Soon you’ll see that it’s alright
Chorus:
I think you’re ready to take that next step
I know that it’s all for the best
I think you’re ready to take that next step
Time to be leaving the nest |

Robert is in Love
with Kelly!
Robert (24) recently shared
some exciting news with us. He proposed to his girlfriend, Kelly! He actually
was quite the gentleman about the proposal.
First he asked Kelly's parents for her hand in marriage. Once he received their
blessing, he proposed on one knee to Kelly. Robert was happy to tell us that
Kelly said yes! Robert and Kelly have agreed that the actual wedding will be way
in the future and they are going to enjoy being an engaged couple for the time
being.
Robert is still an enthusiastic
member of the SUCCESS Day Program. Robert enjoys serving others in the
community. He is a volunteer with the Meals on Wheels program; Raccoons Etc.;
and the Ronald McDonald House. Robert is particularly proud of his involvement
with Habitat for Humanity.
Robert
was an active participant in building a house from the ground up. Robert, with
his tool belt and hard hat, worked along side licensed contractors as they built
a home for a low income family in Orange County.
