MAY--- WHY are you so BUSY?


MacLean and Ashley's surprise on Queens Road- :)




Here is the second part of my post...

I have been looking forward to May for awhile... not because school and sports are ending but I was excited to see how the challenge for 700 bake sales for Cookies For Kids Cancer was going to unfold... This was a nationwide challenge in honor of what would have been Liam's 7th Birthday on 5-13.  The Glad company once again rose to the occasion and said they would match up to $225,000 that bake sales raised in May.. The Charlotte area did not disappoint... we have had bake sales popping up like crazy... and businesses are supporting CFKC this month.  I already told you that just last weekend we had two large bake sales.. one on my street put on by Grier's preschool teachers and friends.. and one that lasted two days at the Fort Mill Strawberry Festival.  We have several more to come the rest of this month... I am including their fliers as a save the date for all of you... I know some of you may be sick of baked goods... BUT remember you can always go and support the sale.. make a donation and go deliver some homemade baked goods to a neighbor... a homeless shelter.. a youth group... an office -- YOU get the idea...  IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BUY THE LEFTOVERS FROM ANY OF THESE BAKES SALES--- LET ME KNOW- Hopefully there will not be any leftovers...!





More info on Philly.... My mom has decided to go to Philadelphia with us on Sunday.. she will fly home on Tuesday.  Grier and I still don't have a set date to fly home.  For the first time in awhile I have felt good about going into this unknown "investigational" trial.... and it is all because of caringbridge guestbook entry.  Caryn ( mom of Nick) whom I mentioned a few entries ago about his 6 year fight with NB and how I admired his attitude while while fighting, signed Grier's CB page with a few words that made me feel better... She said we were lucky to be on this trial. Thanks CF that made my day to read that... I am always doubting these decisions -- just wish there was a "guarantee" 


PLEASE visit the NEW CAR WASH on Tyvola...

Hang in there, Amy. Know you are tired but we all are lifting you up in prayer in hopes that the burdens of every day are lighter, the joys sweeter and the days filled with low calorie chocolate.
