I guess I better get busy and update my page! For those family and friends who do not have facebook, I have a lot of updating to do. Andy II did a fantastic job at the Special Olympics ballroom dancing event held in Ft. Wayne, IN on July 5th. His eldest sister, Melissa and my friend, Mitzi went with me to watch the most fun and elegant Special Olympics event we had ever had the pleasure of attending. Andy won a silver (2nd) medal in the boxstep and a gold (1st) in the foxtrot. He is such a smooth little dancer. He loves dancing. They will be dancing at the Michiana Down Syndrome walk at Stepan center on Notre Dame campus Sept. 26th. We're excited for the other parents to see how much fun our four from our Down Syndrome group have and what great dancers they are. Dancing is great for the brain, so y'all get out there and DANCE!
