Be a good Cookie!

Grier had the best week of school last week-- He was very happy everytime he got into the car and told us lots of stories about his new friends at school-- We are so excited to see him get to be a kid again!

So many good things have been happening lately... the GGG team is growing everyday-- it is almost to 100!!! Everyone seems very excited about doing a personal page and getting pledges for CureSearch. I think we need about 30 more to go to reach 100--

I have also been working on something else!! I know some of you are thinking WHY!!! Well--- I can not sit here and do nothing, so I said "YES" to a birthday wish that Gretchen Holt ( Liam's mom) had about a month ago. She wished for 100 people to have a bake sale. She has just started a new organization to support pediatric cancer research. It is called cookies for kids cancers...www.cookiesforkidscancers.org Anyway, I asked 2 people to also have a bake sale and guess what??? They said "yes" too! My college roommate, Kristie has taken this simple idea and run with it-- her bake sale is going to in the middle of the NC Seafood Festival in Morehead City on Oct. 4th & 5th--AND the youth at her church have decided this is going to be a mission project for them and they will kick it off on their Youth Sunday! Amazing---! That leads me to our bake sale--- Grace has been waiting to do a lemonade stand and we decided to wait until Festival in the Park ( which is this weekend!)-- Why??? Well... on a good weekend they expect 100,000 people and most will park somewhere close to our house. We will be having a bake sale/lemonade stand in our yard this weekend--- The proceeds will go to Cookies for kids Cancer... and a lesson will be learned by all that help! Yes... I am teaching my kids to think bigger than themselves and to be a good cookie!!! Wish us luck as we try to squeeze in soccer and baseball games in between setting up shop in our yard!

Finally, the last story is about a family that decided they were going to raise awareness and recognize that September is Childhood Cancer Awareness month-- Kerri woke the boys up for church yesterday and told them to get ready to go-- She told them to wear their Go Grier Go T-shirt-- and her youngest said.. "MOM, Are we going to wear a T-shirt to church?" And she said "YES -- we all are!" She also had everyone wear a gold ribbon... And they were noticed and asked what the ribbons were for....

Thanks to all for that are working behind the scenes to bring awareness!!!!
