MS Walk

Sunday September 25, 2011 -
It is that time of year again.  We are quickly approaching the MS Walk.  It will be at the Dell Diamond on Saturday October 29th at 10 a.m.  This is a great fundraising event to help those whose lives have been affected by MS.  What is MS?  Multiple Sclerosis (or MS) is a chronic, often disabling disease that attacks the central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain, spinal cord, and optic nerves. Symptoms may be mild, such as numbness in the limbs, or severe, such as paralysis or loss of vision. The progress, severity, and specific symptoms of MS are unpredictable and vary from one person to another.
 
How you can help……..
 
·         Register for the walk and come walk with me to show your support.  Registration is free but you can make a donation when you register if you would like.

 
·         Make a donation on my fundraising page that will go to the National MS Society and help those with MS.  I am one of those people that your money will benefit.  I have used several of the MS Societies programs and will continue to for the rest of my life.

 
I hope I will see all of you there.  If you have any questions please let me know and I will be glad to help.  Thanks for all of your support.

School

Monday, September 5, 2011 - Dylan seems to be enjoying school and likes his teacher.  Emily likes school some of the time.  She does not like the fact that the day is so long.  She is having a hard time adjusting to the 7 hour day.  We also learned this past week that she does not like the fire alarm at school.  They had a drill one day last week and she came home very upset.  Hopefully, next drill they have will not upset her as much.  Overall I think the kids are having a great start to the school year.  We will see what happens in the next few weeks when things really get rolling.

First Day of School

Monday, September 5, 2011 - Happy Labor Day! Well I am very slow at getting these posted but here are pictures from Emily and Dylan's First Day of School.
