Guest guest Posted August 10, 2004 Report Share Posted August 10, 2004 Hi Y'all, We just got settled in Savannah. We have had one heck of a summer and had 500 messages to check on when we finally got this thing up and running. We didn't expect it to take that long but the cable company told us we would have use of the net immediately and then crashed our computer for using it " illegally. " It cost $100 and took a while to fix. has had a WONDERFUL busy summer. He had SO swimming and YMCA swimming. He and his best friend (17 DS) went together. He got most improved swimmer at the party after the state YMCA event. He has a new plaque and a medal. He went to SO camp and spent four days being the darling of over 100 coaches (he and ). They are so sociable that all enjoyed their company. (dh) says that the facility at Warm Springs, GA is incredible. It is a support facility for persons with disabilities and has a lot of sports stuff available. We even have pics of riding a horse as trained to coach equestrian events. It was four days and neither wanted to come home. We closed on our house when they got back and immediately left for the NDSS conference. I got to meet Kittie and she was so very nice. I didn't see anyone else though. I was a little disappointed. We toured the White House with friends with a daughter with DS. We also saw the new WW II monument and part of the sonian. The hotel was very nice. We came home to move and have been unpacking ever since. We get moved in (boxes at least) and we get a call from the local SO head honcho and he tells us that our minor league baseball team the Sand Gnats is opening up slots for special athletes to go to baseball camp. went to 3 days of baseball camp and was the only special athlete there. He was voted MVP by the kids and given a batting helmet. He got a hat and t-shirt and free ticket to the game, so we spent my birthday (Aug 7) at the game. It was fun. I love baseball. got to run out on the field (as did the other campers) with his favorite player. 's school will be better if we can get them to call us. He'll show up on Monday and they better do something with him. We love our house and loves the pool. and I have started back to school and I'm a little nervous about here with the pool but he did great today. I called 3 times and called once. I don't think I " m going to enjoy this year like I did last year. My new boss is not as much fun. Hope you didn't mind reading all this.

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Wow, Elaine! I almost got dizzy reading your email. What a great summer is having! What a busy summer YOU are having! I'm so glad to hear that you are happy with your move to Savannah. So likes his new surroundings? I'm always pleasently surprised when experiences changes. I always worry in advance, but he makes transitions pretty easily. We just got back yesterday after spending 5 days in Boston. He was a real trooper, considering all the walking we did. We did a Duck Tour and when the vehicle turned into a boat, they let steer! It was a hoot! Best wishes in your new home!

Guest guest Posted August 11, 2004 Report Share Posted August 11, 2004 Wow, what a busy summer. I am glad has had such great opportunities. And I am very happy your new home is working out so well. We also enjoyed our time in DC, didn't get to go for the convention, just for vacation. I don't envy your unpacking boxes, that is so much fun (not)! Hope the school year starts out well. We go back on the 23rd, and can't wait. She is very ready to get back in her school year routine. Sharon H.
