Conway Braves


This year, Marshall started baseball on the Conway Braves baseball team. This is a baseball team designed for children with special needs and each game the children have "buddies" to help out. Marshall didn't get to play much this summer because we had other ventures; however, when he did play, he loved it and had fun seeing his friends from school. This was such a great thing for Marshall, since it is very hard to find activities like this for our children. He truly enjoyed it and we can't wait to play again next year.

Neenaw Carolyn




It is so hard to believe that it's been a year and she isn't here anymore. So many things have happened in the course of a year. I wish that Neenaw Carolyn was here to see Jordan and Marshall now, she would be so proud of both of them! At least she got to see Jordan born and hold her and she knew that Jordan came home from the hospital. I think that is all that she needed to know before she left. There are days that it is still hard to believe that she isn't here and I hate it. We love you Neenaw!

Triumph Soccer



Marshall played soccer for his second year this Spring. He is a part of the Triumph Soccer program that is designed for children with special needs. This year we played on the amazing new field at Hendrix College and as usual, Marshall loved every minute of it. He loves being outside and really enjoys kicking the soccer ball around.

At the end of the season, each kid received a t-shirt and a medal. This year seemed to be so well organized and the kids actually worked on different skills for playing soccer. It was such a great opportunity for Marshall. We can't wait until next year!

Tennis


Mark and I have picked up the hobby of playing tennis, well trying to play anyway. It is very hard for us to find time, but when we do, we really love it. We put Jordan in her stroller and let Marshall scoot around the court. Although it rips his pant to shreds, he loves it. Marshall also loves to swing the tennis racket, whether he hits the ball or not.
