St. Jude

I'm sure since I only put up posts about twice a year, I've lost all of my readers except Susanne and Laura (hello to two of my favorite people on the planet!) I thought that I would put this up here, though, just in case anyone happens upon it and wants to donate. This is a great organization and a very worthwhile cause...

I am participating in the St. Jude Memphis Marathon Weekend to support the kids of St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Will you help me support St. Jude by donating today? http://fundraising.stjude.org/site/TR/Heroes/Heroes?px=2243120&pg=personal&fr_id=4820

How your donation helps:

• Thanks to donors like you, no family ever pays St. Jude for anything, including lodging, food and travel.
• St. Jude will continue to improve treatment of childhood cancer and other deadly diseases through its groundbreaking research.
• For every child treated here, thousands more have been saved worldwide through St. Jude discoveries.

Please visit my St. Jude Heroes fundraising page to make a donation.

Thank you for your support!

First sleep-over

Mary Laine spent the night out for the first time with her sweet friend Sadie :)

Mary Laine turns 4 (and a half)

As always, we waited to have Mary Laine's birthday party until summer, so it was actually on her half birthday. She knew exactly what she wanted this year and requested a Peter Pan party at our "Country House" (our rental). It was a beautiful day for a party and Mary Laine was thrilled to be able to host all of her friends. Surprisingly, the bubble machine (a last-minute addition) was BY FAR the hit of the party.

T-Ball 2013

Mary Laine had a great time playing t-ball this year. At first, she was a little disappointed that she wasn't on a team with her friend Annie, but quickly made new friends and had a blast on her new team. Here is a video of Mary Laine - much improved from last season! And also one of Langdon - they let him hit in a couple of the games and he's getting the hang of it.

We had the end-of-season party at Pizza Inn and everyone got a trophy. 

And this little cheerleader will have to sit on the sidelines no more - he's all ready to play in 2014!

She ate so many blueberries that her tongue literally turned blue!

Langdon's didn't, but he wanted to think that it did.

Saying that the sawdust from the new house was pixie dust. Yeah, that took a few days to get out!
