Happy 5th Birthday Max!

Jam Session

Let's Play Ball!

Since Max likes to watch hours of Brewers on TV. . .

And check out his batting form in the mirror. . .

We decided to sign Max up for T-ball! We knew Max would need some extra help at his games and mentioned to his Early Childhood teacher that we were looking for a "buddy". She happened to be free and was happy to help Max out. And Max was excited to get to spend time with Marsha over the summer.


We made it to four out of the six games. Each week Max learned a little more about the game and what he was suppose to do.

By the end of the season, he would sit and wait for his name to be called before he would get up and head for the tee. And Marsha didn't need to help out. The first week she had to sit next to him to make sure he sat and didn't get up and run on to the field.

I enjoyed seeing Max get pats on the head by the other kids. . .

and high fives after the game. . .

Ava played coach pitch after Max's games.


And she loved her coach.

Polar Plunge 2011

One Saturday, we took the Polar Plunge to raise money for Special Olympics Wisconsin. Team RTS raised over $7,000 to help athletes with cognitive disabilities REACH THE STARS while participating in the Special Olympics. Thanks to all who made donations and came to watch this great event. We appreciate your generosity.

It is great having support from friends and family.

Max and his Music

Max loves listening to music on his IPad. I wish he would enjoy communicating on it as much!
