If you all remember, a few months ago I posted some video of two failed slide attempts of Cutler with Mason at the Magic House in St. Louis.  Well, I am proud to say that we finally got it right.  Last Friday we went to the Little Gym for their Halloween Party and Superman slid right this time.  Below is video proof that he was able to walk away and Mason’s only damage was a lost wing. 

As part of our fundraising effort, some of our good friends brought up the idea for our kids to work together in a lemonade stand and donate the proceeds to the LLS.  It went extremely well and despite our kids running off, the rest of the neighborhood kids were able to keep it going.  We raised $160.  Thanks to the Carley’s for coming up with the idea and running with it and the Gilliums for joining in and helping out.  It was a very good time.  Below are very few pictures, but we took what we could grab before the beverages took over.

Last night we went to downtown Dallas and helped Light The Night with thousands of others.  I am very proud to say, thanks the generosity of many of you, that we were able to raise around $2500.  It was quite a sight to see the many balloons lit up as we walked the streets of downtown.  We were glad to see a few of our nurse friends from the 12th floor as well.  It’s always good to see some familiar faces that we don’t get to see too often.  Special thanks to Ellen, Austin, Rick, Ginger, and Rick who all came down and walked with us.  We are hoping to be much more organized next year and able to raise even more money, but more importantly con/convince more people to come down and join us in this walk for this special cause.  Below are a few pictures from the walk.  Thanks again to everyone that contributed!
