It's the Big Weekend!

Many of you have already contributed to my fund raising campaign for the GoodLooking Foundation, and I am so grateful for your help. My original goal was $2,000.00, which I made almost immediately, so I raised it to $3,500.00, which I am within $60 of reaching. Again, thank you to all of you who have been so incredibly generous! Every weekend that Alex and Miranda start on Saturday morning with GoodLooking activities is a good one. And when we start the weekend well, it makes life so much easier. If you've been considering a gift or forgot all about it, you can still give. Click here to reach my page.

So, on Sunday morning at 8 am, I will report to Connolly Park in Voorhees, prepared to walk my 5K briskly. (I'm not much of a runner, but I've been practicing all summer and 5K takes me about an hour, with my iPod.) I plan to bring my camera to take pictures of the event and will write up a summary for y'all next week.

Marshall and the kids won't be attending the event because we decided changing their Sunday routine would be more trouble than it's worth.

Remember, Sunday is Alex's 6th birthday! Woohoo! We will be celebrating Alex and Miranda's birthdays jointly later in the month with family. There are advantages to having had two October babies, like having to host only one party. Although, I will have to make cupcakes for the first time in my life for Miranda's last day at Tomorrow's Hope Preschool on October 28th. I'm hoping my sister-in-law will share her secret recipe. Leah's cupcakes are always mouth-wateringly delicious.

Both kids are doing well at school. Many blessings upon Miss Kim and Miss Niki.
