Mat, Story and I were interviewed by Cheryl Weedmark on AM980 morning radio show last weekend talking about Itsy, along with our friends Shae & Greg...it was early, but really fun! You can listen to the radio show here: (click on show archive and we're in the 7-8 am hour)

The upcoming fundraiser (1 week from today!) has been coming along wonderfully! We have about 20 more tickets to sell, before we're officially sold out! :)

Thank you all for your support and generosity! I can't wait to share the total amount raised. Stay tuned!

In other news...Story is growing, talking and running like crazy! She has a vocabulary of about 15 words and a whole lot of words that we don't understand yet! She has been so healthy, despite all the sickness going around..she has amazingly stayed very healthy.
Life is good!

Doesn't Story look like such a grown up girl here? We've been just staring at her in amazement non-stop lately at how quickly she's growing up. She chatters all day, gives us lots of sloppy kisses, imitates our every move and crawling is also now a thing of the past...finally! Her favourite things are dogs, cats and babies' we're not sure why she loves cats so much (Mat and I are NOT cat lovers), but she is constantly pointing them out and saying "meow"...it's pretty cute!
