Walking with Alec: The Photo

I've wanted a visual photo of either Matt or myself actually "Walking with Alec", and here, finally, is one. This was taken in Western NC on a greenway. Elise is running up ahead, as she typically does. Alec has always been slow on hikes and walks until this year. Now, suddenly, Alec wants to make everything a race! Suddenly, at nearly five, he's very competitive with his sister, who takes it all pretty well.

Alec is going on two mile bike rides with Elise, with Matt and I jogging along, and Alec is determined to be first. The progress we have seen in the last year is amazing! Speech, physical aptitude, social skills. The whole world has opened up for him, and we thank God for all He is doing in Alec right now.
