Grier had a good day at Preschool!!! There was a lot of talking about school and planning and I can say it went as well as I expected-- I would love to say there were no tears but there were and that is okay-- He said he had fun-- more information is coming now that Hayes and Grace are home!!--- So many asked how I did?--- And I can say I was fine-- Unfortunately, I am an old pro at handing him over when he is screaming to people for medical reasons --so leaving him with three teachers that are there to nurture him was easy!!! Also, I had a nice message on my phone that said he was fine and having fun!! He asked me today when he was going to get to go to Hayes and Grace's school??? I told him had two more years of practicing at preschool before we could go to "BIG" school!!!

The Go Grier Go team for the CureSearch walk is halfway to goal of 100 team members!! Thanks to all that signed up for our team-- Grier and I walked into every store at Park Road Shopping Center on Wednesday and asked them to put up a poster for the walk--- ! And I can say some stores said OK!!! I was excited to get a YES out of some people!!!

Grier's appointment at the clinic went well-- he did have to have his port flushed and a full exam-- We do not have to go back until November--- We will be in NYC next month for scans so his check-up will be done there- That will be here before we know it--- time is flying by-- our 90 days are almost up!!

So glad Grier had a great day at school! I'm happier still that you enjoyed a bit (teeny as it was) of "free" time, yes, that's a joke!! Hope all continues to go well with school and the tears become fewer.
Will definitely be joining the team; however, have been so busy with school starting, carpools, committee meetings, etc. My days are full and then some.
Look forward to catching up very soon. Will see you for sure out on the soccer fields.
Lots of love and prayers...

So happy that preschool went well! Betty Gunderson asked about Grier today and I was happy to tell her that he started preschool
this week. I'm sure there won't be tears for long as he returns to a place where everyone knows and loves him. Just remind him about the playground and how much fun he'll have with his friends! And I know you will enjoy the time by yourself!

Hope H&G enjoyed the Boosterthon yesterday -- it really was fun! My kids loved the popsicles, the music, and the funny laps (in that order)! I know Hayes ran the max allowed. How about Grace? So glad Hayes has Cindy Riegel -- we're reading buddies with her class.

Have a wonderful weekend! Still sending love to your family and praying for Grier and other cancer kids daily,
