Spring is here...I can HEAR it!!
THIS is what we hear every night...ALL night! :) The frogs - known as Spring Peepers - and the Ducks are all 'happy'.
When we first moved here, it was so loud that it would keep us awake but now it's part of the ambiance. :)
Now, the Sicada's - that's another noise to get used to! When they show up, I'll attach a recording of them.

Special Olympics Swim Meet
Friday was the Cumberland County Special Olympics Swim Meet. All special olympians from the entire county come and participate. All ages! It's fun to watch and cheer on EVERYBODY! and it doesn't matter what 'place' you come in - everyone receives a ribbon! I love it!
Alex wasn't too sure about going into the pool this year. There were a lot of people who came to watch and it was loud and echoic in the pool area. But perseverance paid off (thanks Betsy and Rhonda!) and in he went!
Alex swimming in the 15 Meter 'Freestyle'. He placed 5th in this race. He swam the 25 Meter 'Freestyle' and placed 3rd. The aid that swims with Alex every Friday during the school year commented that this was the FIRST time he swam the full length on the pool without any assistance! Wow!! Nice work Alex!
Chelsie came to cheer Alex on but his events were finished before she could get to the pool. So she took his ribbons back to her classroom to show off how he had done! :)

Alex and Baker
Here he is!
Alex LOVES going horseback riding!! This is such a neat part of the Occupational/Physical Therapy through school.
Today was the last lesson, so the parents were allowed to go and watch. Alex saw me and wanted me to leave! So, I 'said' goodbye and hid in the viewing room so I could see him. I gave my camera to Dave (one of the teachers) to get a couple pictures so I could show all of you! The director of the center even commented how well he did this year. :) That's our boy!!
