Special Olympics 2009

On 04/29/09 Ryan participated in his first Special Olympics. He did really well and seemed to have a lot of fun during the events. Ryan won a bronze medal for the standing long jump and a gold medal for the 100 meter walk. It was so funny watching him during the 100 meter walk. He kind of slowly just walked down the track. All of the people in the stands were cheering and Ryan would stop and clap and then keep walking. One time he covered his ears because of the clapping and cheering (I guess it was too loud for him). Then he jumped over the finish line. Way to go Ryan!!

Ryan's Buddy who lasted all of 10 minutes. He wouldn't hold her hand.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Well it has been a while since an update. There hasn't been too much going on. Ryan and Reece are both doing really well. Ryan is still enjoying taekwondo and swimming lessons. Reece is talking talking talking. We can't get him to be quiet. Until he is around other people and then we can't get him to talk.

I think they enjoyed Easter. We dyed some eggs last night, and we went to Jennifer's house today for our family lunch. They enjoyed hunting Easter eggs. Well until Ryan decided he would rather try to get into the pool. :-) Ryan has about 2 more months of school and then it will be summer time. I am really looking forward to spending the summer with both of my babies.
