Happy Memorial Day to everyone and thank you to our veterans past and present. Today we honor them all.

Just a quick note with some new pictures of Hannah. She is growing up so quickly and thank goodness she got the chance! Hannah's 11th birthday is this Saturday, June 6th. We will celebrate at Relay for Life on the 5th, then again on the 6th for Hannah's life celebration! I can hardly believe it.

Hannah at crazy hair day-yes, that's her name written on the back of her head!

Spring concert-she's on her tiptoes trying to be as tall as her friends!

Just a quick post tonight. We are getting down to the last few weeks before our Relay for Life. If you are thinking of joining the us in the fight against cancer this year by purchasing a luminary, please let us know. We are now at a total of 45 luminaries! Last year our total for luminaries was 117, so I'm not sure we'll make that mark again, but we hope to get a little closer. Every dollar counts in this fight. Here is our information again, please join us if you can!

RELAY for LIFE

The luminaries are $10 each. We will decorate one for you-I have all the bags here or you are welcome to decorate them yourselves also if you like (I will get you the bags). Let us know if there is anything in particular you would like on your bag and we will decorate it specially for you. If you would like to email any artwork or photos, we can also include those on the bags. We will send you an email with a picture of your bags once they are completed. We'll see if we can get enough to complete one entire circle around the track this year!

Here is what we need if you are purchasing a bag:

Your name and address
Who is to be honored on the bag (in memorial or in honor of)
Any photos or artwork you would like included on the bag (you can email or send them)
Anything additionally you would like us to include on your bag
Your check made out to American Cancer Society-bags are $10 each, send to us at the address listed on the blog page, left hand side. You may also paypal me the money at kprokop@optonline.net if that is easier.

I signed on tonight to read some of the kids' blogs I follow and went to Kevin's site. Kevin was a brave warrior that was diagnosed with medulloblastoma at age 3. Ten years later, at age 13, Kevin was diagnosed with GBM-another brain tumor. 10 years later! Kevin died in January of this year. This entry just struck me-

Mom and Dad will be at the cemetery from 1-4pm tomorrow with some honey baked ham, sandwich fixings, and drinks if anyone wants to come and join them to honor Kevin's birthday.

No parent should have to celebrate their child's birthday gravesite at the cemetery. How humbling.


If you'd like to join us in the fight to save more kids in their battle against cancer, you can purchase a luminary for RELAY for LIFE! As of tonight, we have 16 bags sold. Here is the information:
