Out of that video came another opportunity to be part of something else special. We were contacted by a production company back in March to be part of a Special Olympics television special to air on KTLA in May. They wanted to film us interacting with Grant, ask us questions about our experiences with him, and show pictures of our lives to help tell the story. In April they came to film (which was nerve-wracking at the time!) and it aired Memorial Day weekend. Those on Facebook saw my reminders of when it was to air, but on here I forgot to remind, but we do have the clip now for your viewing pleasure!
We were one of 6 or 7 families and athletes (Grant was the only future athlete!) detailed, so our part is short. (Which I'm glad of because seeing and hearing myself on the screen was a bit painful at first!) The clip here is just our portion:
Grant and Kyle wanted to watch it over and over again! They liked seeing themselves and mommy and daddy on TV. We were so blessed to be part of this unique experience - any chance we can get to tell our story and tell the world how wonderful it is to raise a child like Grant - we take it! We're so lucky we get to raise both of these adorable, happy boys.

With family in town last week, we recorded it and finally had time to sit down and watch it just the other night! Ethan and Hunter were sooo excited to see you all, and kept wanting to watch it over and over again, too!
