My Birthday Wish

Tuesday was my Birthday.  Over the past couple of weeks I have been thinking about what my birthday means to me and what would make it special.  I am at the stage in my life where I don't need much from a store.  As I have reflected, I have thought about the Winter Pineapple Classic and LLS behind it.  I wrote up a paragraph on my fundraising page, that has stuck with me and made me realize what I really want.  Whenever Sarah gets sick or gets a bruise, there is a fear that the Leukemia has returned.  While this fear isn't always visible, it is something that is in the back of my mind.  Watching my child suffer through cancer and the treatment of it, is one of the hardest things that I had to do in my life.  I was helpless to do anything.  I decided to continue to do the Winter Pineapple Classic as a way to do something.  It gives me the opportunity to support an organization that is trying to cure cancer.  While it does that, it is also supporting those who are in the middle of the fight with cancer.  So my birthday wish is to have you support LLS and other organizations fight cancer and work towards a cure.  That and make someone smile each day.

Sarah's Seventh Birthday

Sarah celebrated her seventh birthday at the end of September.  She was excited for her birthday and asked for a Meep cake.  Meep is a character from a TV show called, Phineas and Ferb.  The caked turned out not too bad.  We decided to just have the family around for the Birthday party and had the cake on Sunday.

As part of her birthday, she also asked to go out to breakfast to a restaurant.  She asks often since Victoria, Anna, and Victoria's kids were out visiting and they went to a cafe for breakfast.  I planned on taking her but was unable to around her birthday due to work. I was able to take her this past weekend.  She loved the food and I am sure will want to go out anytime that she can.

Don't forget that we are running for Sarah as part of the Winter Pineapple Classic.  There is a link on the side bar where you can donate to help raise money for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.  This group is focused on supporting the people fighting or trying to cure blood cancers.  Please think about supporting us and giving to a great organization.
