Jump Rope for Heart 2010
Evan and Grayson’s school had a program this past week called Jump Rope for Heart. This is a fund raiser for the American Heart Association. Both boys have been so excited about raising money for such a worthy cause. Their grandfather, my dad, has had heart trouble, as well as our friend, Bill. I think knowing these people made this a very special cause for both boys. They also learned that the AHA helped the family of a friend whose younger brother was born with a heart defect. I’m very pleased that they wanted to participate in this fundraiser and that their school made it a fun time for them. I was able to participate on the day each boy’s grade had their turn, which was really special. These kids were excited!
Where’s Grayson?
This morning, I couldn’t hear the boys anywhere. Evan had already emptied the dishwasher and had some time to spare, but where was Grayson? I went looking through the house and found him beside a huge pile of books we checked out yesterday from the library and this is what I saw.
