I am not sure where to start--- I am going to try to be brief --!! We have been busy getting ready for the start of school--- Yes, we are 3 days into it by now and I could not be happier to get back into some kind of routine-- Summer is long when no one goes to camp and no one naps!!!
We took a quick day trip to Grandfather Mountain and everyone had fun-- It started as "we need to get out of the house because we are going to go crazy day"--- and it ended up to be a favorite spot for Grier-- He really liked the mile-high bridge and the bears!
About a week ago, we met with Grier's wish granters from Make-a-Wish-- I think he really enjoyed the visit and has no idea about his wish--- he says "Disney" one minute and the next minute it is a remote control helicopter that is on TV! We are going to wait to see if Disney is really his wish!! It is hard to explain to him about a "wish"-- We are hoping with time he will learn the concept and come up with something--- The visit was fun and I am sure exhausting for the granters, Deb and Chris--- Grier had Chris busy outside playing golf, soccer, and baseball and then brought him inside to play wii bowling -- He was asked a lot of questions about his likes and dislikes-- As you all know all of that could change tomorrow--- That is the great thing about being 4-- So.. as you can see we are taking it slow to make sure Grier chooses something he wants-
The CureSearch Milestones walk is coming along--- It is going to be great and HUGE!!-- lots of fun things for families to participate in while raising awareness of pediatric cancer in our community--- I really thought I would have a full team by now!! I guess with vacation and school starting --- things are slow--- You all still have time--- If you want to make a team of your own that is fine too-- the more the merrier! Go to www.milestoneswalk.org to register--- This is an event you do not want to miss! This a not a competitive 5k-- so all abilities are able to participate--- And if you do not live in Charlotte you can join GGG as a virtual walker! Each team will wear their own T's--- so if you have a GGG T--- you have to join the team! If you do not--- Kerri still has a few-- email her if you want one--rnorwood@comporium.net
Also-- There is a 5k Fall Festival at Myers Park Baptist Church on Sept 6th--- go to www.cornwellcenter.org for more info--- All proceeds will go to Charlotte's Ronald MacDonald House--- I have tried to attach the brochure but can not figure out how to do it--- Anyway, This is a great cause that is near and dear to our heart due to the amount of time we spent in the Ronald in NY-- not quite sure what we would do without it!--- so we are excited Charlotte is getting one for families that are treated at LCH and Hemby--
More to come later-- my carpool duty is calling!!!

Glad you haven't posted in a while -- that indicates a normal degree of craziness at your house! My kids always loved Grandfather Mountain and the swinging bridge and of course Mildred -- which Mildred are they on now??? It's perfect for day tripping!
Hope school is going well after 3 days for G&H -- have caught glimpses of them in the hall and at lunch.
Know that Grier is getting excited about going to school. And also YOU!!! He will so enjoy getting back with friends and wonderful teachers.
I'm excited about being on the
GGG team for the CureSearch Walk and look forward to November. Also glad that another Ronald is coming to Morehead -- another great way to help families in their fight against all types of childhood diseases.
Enjoy the day off Monday and give my love to all the family!
Continued prayers,

Amy,
Thanks for the update. Glad to see everyone hopefully getting back into the groove of the routine. We are all so thankful you are having minimal Dr. appts. needed. We continue to pray for healthy days and good results coming back in. I find you amazing adjusting to what your new normal is.
Andrew had to have an MRI last week on his foot and eveything is ok. I could not help but think of you all while waiting and watching him on that table and just the small tiny piece of what it must be for you all and what you have been through. I was sitting in a room with parents whose children were having MRI's on their brains. I really was just amazed at the strength we humans have within us.
I wish you manageable chaos. We think and continue to pray for you all.
