Komen Walk 2011

The weather was a little gloomy, but the rain couldn't keep people away from the lakefront.  We had a group of about 30 people that walked today and it was great!  I always feel so much love and support on the day of the walk.  Thank you so much to all who came and walked, joined us for the "after-party" and those that supported me with a donation.  I love you all...

Pink Room

My Young Survivor group was invited to speak at the Pink Room Anniversary Party.  The Intercontinental Hotel in downtown Milwaukee has 2 hotel rooms that they have tastefully decorated in pink.  When those rooms are rented, they donate a portion of the proceeds to a local breast cancer organization, ABCD.  The Anniversary Party was the event where the Intercontinenal Hotel presented ABCD with the check for the first year's hotel bookings.  They presented a check for over $8,500.  Awesome!

Kaylee's First St Mary's Volleyball Game

Kaylee was very excited to have her first game with her new team.  They played pretty well and had a lot of fun!

Mariah's New Car

Well, Mariah wouldn't let me take a picture of her on the first day of school, so I thought I would post a picture of her new car.  She had her old car for a year and it just wasn't going to make it through another winter.  Justin did a lot of work on it and did some major engine work, but it just had a few too many problems.  So, we talked to Mariah's boss at Russ Darrow and get her into a cute little used car.  She is pretty happy to tool around town now...and we are happy that she has more reliable transportation!

First Day of School

Kaylee started 5th Grade today at St Mary's.  She really LOVES her new school.  She has made a lot of friends and is staying busy with all of the homework she has now!
