Kids are awesome.… Day 503 01APR10

Joshua is an Honored Hero for the Pennies for Pasta campaign and today he attended a luncheon to honor a wonderful group of students from Madison Middle School. Their school collected over $4400 dollars and this class alone collected over $1000 dollars of the total. Their reward was a wonderful lunch at Olive Garden and our heartfelt appreciation for all of their hard work. What an amazing group of kids we had lunch with! If all of the kids in the world were as kind and thoughtful the world would be an amazing place. Joshua gave each one of them a special award and posed for lots and lots of pictures which we have been promised a copy of to share with everyone. It was a special event and we were honored to be able to be there to help thank them personally.

After a brief respite at home we headed out again. First stop was Ikea to pick up a table for my mother. We actually managed to escape from the store in under and hour and only had what we originally came for at the check out counter. No easy feat. If you have ever been to Ikea you know what I mean. Next stop was to deliver, assemble, and set up the table we picked up. Jarrod and Joshua took care of that in short order. Next we were off to the Children's Cancer Center for dinner and a massive Easter egg hunt. Dinner was good and we had fun hanging with our cancer family. They are a wonderful group of people. So we have had a fun filled day and are all going to sleep good tonight. Tomorrow Joshua will get another IVIG treatment at home and then we will get rested up for us party on Saturday.
