Teddy Bear Parade

Last weekend, we went to the zoo with Big Al for a teddy bear parade sponsored by CURE (childhood cancer organization). We had a great time and I "joined" the bone marrow registry - all it took was a few swabs of my cheeks (NOT the butt ones). Nothing like a mass of bald children to inspire a person (and Big Al of course). I love the tshirt Big Al's mom Jenifer made for him - "leukemia bit and I bit back."

I found Ana in this position on the couch one day this week - the girl is so flexible! I often tell her I'm going to sign her up for the circus. She can also lie on her stomach and touch her feet to her head.

Your kids are so darn cute! Good for you for doing the bone marrow thing - I heard donating is really painful but to save someone's life......

That is too funny. Sally did exactly the same the other night. Thank you for the kind comment on my blog. Yes, he is a Gemini, how lucky can a mother get?

You are awesome for donating.
