Baby.. it's cold outside


Today we did as much inside as we could BUT NYC is crowded!!! So, we ended up coming back to the Ronald after lunch and hanging out a little-- Grier saw Santa at Bloomingdale's---He was one of a couple of kids in line-- mostly adults waiting to sit on his lap and telling him what they want for Christmas!! :)

Tomorrow we will be in the Ronald for awhile during the 4 hour collection!! It turns out the weather is going to be nasty so it is a good day to stay inside-- I am looking forward to Monday-- I am ready to get going with the harvest so we can start to plan to come home--

Grace turned in her change for Reindeer Raiders-- she collected $165 for Children's Miracle Network -- Thanks to all of you that donated your "loose" change!

I know there was no cuter, sweeter, or braver little guy who visited Santa today than Grier Christenbury!! Such a cute picture and so glad he got to sit on Santa's lap and tell him to bring the Power Wheel!

The weather here has turned cold and dreary, but we're getting some rain, thank goodness! Staying inside the Ronald tomorrow with nasty weather outside might be relaxing for you all -- hope so. Eating turkey sandwiches, watching DVDs, and snuggling might just make his WBC soar and have you sailing into Monday.

Thanks for the pictures -- keep them coming! How about some of you and Jeff too???

Wishes, prayers, and love coming to you three in NYC and the three here in Charlotte tonight,

The pictures are so great. I am sure it is very cold for your southern blood. I, on the other hand could handle it with all my northern blood.
Good luck tomorrow,we will be thinking of you. Glad it is warm inside.
Hope you find out Monday when you can come home.
As always you are in our hearts and prayers,
The Paine's

Nasty in Charlotte also, but thankful for rain. We got to see your family, not once but twice yesterday!! Grace, Hayes and your adorable Mom. Between basketball games and birthday parties. What a treat. You see it all in NYC!! Sending prayers for that WBC count to go up,up,up. Enjoy a lazy day inside, I know we are. The Stack Family

Just getting back from a night away in Greensboro...what an adorable Santa picture. He looks much nicer than "Grumpy" Santa at Southpark. You may need to dub in Grace & Hayes.

Praying everything goes well with the collection today...very long commitment...and with Grier's counts tomorrow. So hopeful are we all that you are able to proceed with the harvest and get back home!

Glad you got to Lenny's...sounds a bit cool. DE was 32 degrees when I landed on Friday and very windy! It is windy here now and quite brisk though not so cold.

Looking forward to hearing an update tomorrow. Thinking of you all with love...

We continue to keep all of you in our daily prayers. We can't wait for the day that we read that Grier is Cancer-free. Grier is so precious and we are so glad to be a part of his prayer team.
