Playtime is over

Well, it happened. Summer break is over and we are back to our old routine. I started back to work yesterday, and Logan is back at Cathy's. He went back with no problems, and was really excited to see his friends. It does help that we talk it up like that, but he didn't even cling to me yesterday when I dropped him off. Doesn't he know Mom needs an extra hug? Apparently not.

Anyway, the end to our summer break went pretty well.  I took the kids to the dentist and to visit Eric at work last week. We snuck in a last visit to the pool on Tuesday morning. I really like going during the week when they open since  no one else is around. Why am I the only one who seems to know this secret? We went to the movies to see the older version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on Monday and Planes, Fire and Rescue on Tuesday. The kids loved both movies, and I was treated to having two Ninja Turtles in my house all day reenacting the movie. We also enjoyed a little family time with Eric who went to the movie with us on Tuesday to round out our last day of break.

I wanted to say thanks to our four donors to the Logan's Avengers team for Vail Rocks. The Carr family and their friends the Bailey/Petrie family and the Gargan family (thanks Candice for sharing), and also to the anonymous donor. We are up to $300 which is great! It is 9 days away, and we are hoping to raise even more, but we are so grateful for any and all donations as well as raised awareness.    If you are still interested, here is the link to our fundraising page. So many people out there need life saving matches. We are thankful that Logan does not need a bone marrow transplant, but he could need one if he were ever to relapse (do you know how hard it was to type that last phrase?). Many people out there rely on organizations such as Love Hope Strength and Delete Blood Cancer to find matches so that they can live.
