Send a kid to camp

Abbie Cranmer is raising funds in order to attend the 20th annual Association of Late Deafened Adult (ALDA) Convention in Chicago. I can't think of anyone more deserving to go -- Abbie is truly the ears, eyes, and voice for the cochlear implant community. She is a brilliant writer, one who can captivate and substantially contribute to the well-being of others with encouragement, love and support. Going through the CI process is indeed, a process. We all need a friend -- please help send our "kid" Abbie to camp!

brett thinks he's funny, wait til I get him back

Hey Grandma....

Annie: Hey Grandma, do you wanna watch my ice melt?

Well, finding humor this past week has been challenging! Don't you love it when you hear children ask the most innocent questions? I wonder if I have ever tried to watch ice melt. Maybe God is trying to tell me to slow down?

We are alive, well, and not-so-rested. Ashley had a clean bill of health on her one-week checkup. Alicia is still recovering.

On the housing front we have received no response from GMAC, the owners of the place we submitted an offer on. More questions than answers at this point.

Interesting....

Here She Is
