RELAY FOR LIFE UPDATE...105 LUMINARIAS!!!!
Our count is up over 100 now, who could have predicted that? Incredible, thank you everyone. We have worked diligently this weekend, and all of our bags are completed! I will share a few of my favorites tomorrow. If you still would like to order a bag, let us know, there is still time!!
So the filter and the heater are not yet installed, but the kids...and the dog...have been in it! It all started on Sunday when I looked outside and said "that's weird, the pool is wavy like the bay!" I didn't think that much of it, but when I went back out and couldn't find Riley, I looked and there he was IN THE POOL! He was shaking and looked panicked and scared and was treading water. I don't know how long he had been in there, it could have been as much as 20 minutes. After I stripped my clothes off I realized I wouldn't be able to get him out of the pool from inside the pool, so we called Dave and he came and scooped him out of the pool. Scary!! Afterwards the girls figured that if Riley could get in the pool so could they. It was freezing! Colby braved the water first, then Hannah. They stayed on their floats (or tried to for the most part) screaming and kicking and laughing around the pool. And did I mention what happens when you leave the floats outside alone with the dogs?Tomorrow Hannah goes in to the neurologist to check on the foot pain she was having. Since it's no longer there, I don't know how much they will do, but we'll let you know.

Hey Hannah didn't I tell you to tell Mom to get "PLENTY" of cool floats. BJ's has this cool one the boys love called an aqua rocker- we are on our second!
Wonderful update on the luminarias- great job! That will be quite the site!
Love and prayers, Anne Salice
Look at that POOL! That looks like so much fun, and you can't even tell they are COLD!
We love the sign for Pine School, it came in the mail today. I can't imagaine how you had the time to make such a great sign when you are so busy decorating luminarias! You never cease to amaze me!!(Your mom, too!)

Dear Hannah, Kim, Colby and Dave,
We had such a laugh reading about Riley in the pool. Dogs do love a nice swim and poor Riley, once in, couldn't figure how to get out. Dad must be pretty strong to get Riley out of the water. When we spent time together, Hannah, you often talked about Riley (when you were not talking about the Yankees to all the Red Sox fans in the room). Of course, that was before Tod came on the scene. Our black lab often jumped into our pool, she just couldn't resist on a hot day.
We were so sorry not to be able to meet you when you came to Boston. We had made the plans back in February to visit our son in San Francisco at that time. With the picture of you, Hannah, and the tulips in the background, we know you visited the Boston Public Garden. Did you see all the bronze ducks at the entrance to the Garden that portray the ducks, each with a name, from the most loved Boston book "Make Way for Ducklings"? I just recently sent the book to our daughter in London so she could read it to her two little boys.
It is pretty amazing that so many luminaires have been purchased and decorated. I'm guessing that your dining room table is covered with decorated bags. It shows how so many friends love you, dear Hannah, and we look forward to seeing a picture of all the lighted bags along the walk.
We always remember for little Alex in our prayers.
Love, The Griffins
