It's been awhile, but I'm back for now. Alot has happened, but it would take forever to explain, so I'll just worry about the good things for the moment.
First, Step by Step is still open, and looking good for a fall enrollment. It's exciting to see that. Right now, they are holding their first summer camp, and if the first week is any indication, it's a fun time. Logan comes home everyday happy and talking about his experiences that day. It's great to see and hear about those everyday.
Today was a great day. Melissa, Logan and I attended the Autism benefit in Westerville. This was a charity softball game. The teams were made up from Channel 4, Channel 6, and Channel 10, as well as QFM 96. Jerod Smalley, who is a sports reporter for Channel 4, has a son who was diagnosed with Autism. I got to meet both Jerod, and his son, Brady during the game. Jerod has a blog about his son and the daily life of a family with a child with autism. I also got to meet Dimitirous Stanley, a former wide receiver for Ohio State. They raised over $3000 for the Children's Hospital Autism Center. There were also other autism centers with booth's set up, such as Step by Step, Helping Hands, and one other that I can't remember off the top of my head.
The next big event that I'm aware of is the Walk for Autism that benefits Autism Speaks on Sunday, October 12th. I've created a team. Just click this link and you'll see the team that I've created for this event. I hope to see you there. Even if you can't walk or won't be able to attend, you can still donate and credit our team. It's all for a great cause.
Oh, and here is a picture of Logan from the event...
