With so many friends and family visiting the blog, I have decided not to limit my posts to strictly stamping. I was reminded yesterday in visiting with family that I have neglected to share some of the pictures from this summer... ::: { better late, then never } :::
Keenan participated in the Special Olympic summer games this year, this was his first year being involved and I cannot believe what it has done for his confidence. He did well... gaining a handful of medals from various events. He participated in various track events and also played on an adult basketball 5v5 team. He has decided to continue with the basketball and possibly put hockey aside for a year.
For those who do not know me and my family well, I am the proud mother of a 10 year old with Autism. His growth and courage brings me much pride. The last 9 years have been filled with the struggles and triumphs of Autism, we have gone beyond every goal we have set as a family, though the difficult times sometimes outweigh the triumphs we continue to be thankful for the strength and courage we have gained from each experience and the progress we have made.

That smile says it all!
Many Blessings,
