Gold medal winner!

C and his GOLD medal!

     Colin's Special Olympics basketball team won the district championship today. They came in first in their district, got a gold medal and will be going to the STATE finals in two weeks! This basketball obsessed kid is on cloud nine! I know this because he couldn't stop talking about it, he wanted to watch basketball when we got home (to "get better" for states) and he called his grandma on his own. (He never calls anyone and rarely talks on the phone).  He is very proud and so are we!

     I know I've said this before but I have to say it again, if you ever have the opportunity to go to a Special Olympics event, you should. You can't help but smile at these kids (sometimes adults) and pick up on their energy and enthusiasm. You definitely walk away feeling good.

     Colin (still) talks about going to the NBA more than ever now. I LOVE his passion!
