Crosse - Happy 1st and 15th

April brought cause for Crosse to celebrate and remember. He arrived in the U.S. last April and soon celebrated his 14th birthday. Since then, he has had many firsts. Just to list a few - he has:

wrestled alligators,

been up close and personal while feeding the cows,

rode his first 4-wheeler,

met the China Girls,

made many new friends while participating in school sports to include football, basketball and track,

learned to be a team player,

and survived (and quite enjoyed) his first blizzard. Just to name a few first.

For his birthday, Crosse had a friend over for the day. A serious game of badminton ensued. After burgers, hotdogs and birthday cake, they were off to see the Superman / Batman face-off.

Birthday weekend continued today as Crosse was treated to a shopping spree at the Asian market and a friend gave him some gifts from NASA. Thanks Jin!

Happy 1st and 15th Crosse!
