Those of you who have shared the ordeal of getting Kai to eat know that this photo is one to save!
Kai continues to go to occupational therapy to learn how to eat. So, this picture is him in RARE form. Not so rare now...the kid actually eats CHIPS! Potatoe- BBQ, pwease!
Everything to him lately is a fry. When asking for chips, he asks for fries.
I am thankful for this particular moment of him eating...and pray for the day the kid picks up a cheeseburger and chows down!
Wow! Scribbles In The Sand had a delightful scrapbooking FUNraiser for Cystic Fibrosis on June 30. There weren't many scrappers that showed up, but there were many visitors throughout the day and the donation box was filling up rapidly.
Thank you Scribbles In The Sand!
What a wonderful walk we had today. Our four mile walk this morning is Carlsbad was exhilirating! Despite the Gray May climate, our team of 20 tredged on and completed the walk without injury!
Thank you to all the loving family and friends that walked with us today. I cannot begin to express my sincere gratitude at your love and support. Your continued love and support means everything to me and most especially to Kai. He's only 2 and doesn't realize yet how loved he is. Or maybe he does and that's why he's such a happy and joyful little man.
Don't forget team, we can continue collecting donations throughout the year. So don't be shy about sending out mailers or asking friends and family to donate. The most important thing is to increase awareness about this potentially devastating disease.
Thank you to those that were so generous with their donations and time. Visit our Great Strides Homepage by clicking on the link to check our teams progress.
Team Saltine is off to a great start this year. My mailers are already off in the mail and I hope to have some money trickling in over the next couple of weeks. Perhaps even more walkers will sign up too!
I have a huge following from work that loves to hear about Kai and have been supportive too.
Well dear readers...this here is a photo of the reason for Team Saltine. This is THE SALTINE...Kai.
Why Saltine? Well his Daddy Jerome came up with that nickname because when you kiss Kai on the cheek or forehead, he is very salty. I don't mean that normal salty sweat you can taste even on your own skin...but without a doubt SALT. It's almost like you shook out salt onto a spoon and licked it.
So here he is. I took this photo today while we were goofing off outside.
Gotta love this saltine. He's the best!
Thank you for all the love and support and lets meet and beat our goal!
xoxo

My mom Julie came down a few weeks ago to help me get my home office organized. It looks a little disorganized at this moment but for GOOD REASON!
I have composed a letter for this year's fundraising efforts and am folding, stuffing, sealing, and stamping envelopes like a crazy woman! Ok, not really crazy but a Mom with a Mission...which I suppose translates to CRAZY.
Check your mail soon for your letter.
If you didn't get one, I may not have your address. I am using my mailing list from the wedding 4 years ago and that means it may be outdated.
Email me right away and I will get a letter to you.
If you are interested in becoming a walker, please either email me and I will sign you up or you can sign up online at:

Walk for Kai?
Wow, it's hard to believe that we have finished yet another month of TOBI. Kai has really been a great little guy. He know what it means when we say, "It's time to do your treatment." He climbs in his chair (big comfy blue chair) and will hold his nebulizer cup all by himself. He's such a big boy!
We now have one month off and then start it again.
*sigh*
Been just a wee bit since I sent out emails and posted here and already we have 3 people signed up for the walk!! WOO HOO!
Come on team! We can blow away last years numbers together! I can't do it without you.
Actually none of my life so far is done without the love and support of YOU so I know you will support me in this too!
Thank you to:
Esther
Kristen
Dave
For already signing up to do the walk!! Together we can find a cure for CF!
