This Week

We have such a thrilling week coming up!!! We started off our morning with a LIVE in the studio appearance on KCTV5's Better KC segment. We were speaking about the March of Dimes, and how without their help Briella would not be home with us today. Briella wanted to get off the couch and run around the studio and was not happy Dad tried to make her sit still. So she pretty much fussed the entire interview. Oh well. I'm just happy she is here & has the strength to make her desires known. 

Sunday is the BIG day!! The day we hope all of our family and friends will meet us at the Power & Light District by 9am to show support for a cause that saved our daughter. We will be speaking at the Live stage inside P&L at about 9:30am. Give yourself some time to find parking. It's supposed to be in the 70s, couldn't ask for more beautiful weather! Wear purple if you have it! And be sure to stick around to be apart of a big group picture, I'd love to keep the picture for Briella's baby book showing her everyone that came out to support. 

There is still time to make your donation!

Painting Party

Last night I had a small painting party to re-celebrate my 30th birthday. It was SO nice to be around friends & not worry about wearing masks!!!

My sister in law is an elementary school teacher. The art teacher at her school does painting parties for adults on the side. Jennifer donated a portion of the night to the March of Dimes, so it turned a fun night into helping babies!

Jennifer has the perfect personality to do these parties. She was fun & made us feel like we were really all artists. 

I went into this party not even able to draw stick figures, but I left with a piece I call the "Tree of Life" and have placed it on a shelf in Briella's room. It made my heart melt that Briella just stared at it smiling trying to figure out the new addition. The canvas was pretty big, I believe 16x20. 

We had cookie cake, cupcakes, chocolate chex mix, lots of sangria and more important great company. 

If you want have a memorable night then I would highly recommend Jennifer! She will bring the party to you.
