Run for Stuart, our Superhero!!!!

Thanks to all participants this past sunny Saturday at Tanglewood in the Lillie's Friends Race. It made me realize all the blessings and hope for all families who have ever had to deal with this demon called cancer. Each and every one of you has helped touch a life just by your participating, whether through your donations, your training, or the completion of the run!!! I'm such a proud teacher! My heart overflows with your goodness. Please do not let that spunky little guy out of your thoughts as the days pass. Go Stuart, Go! You're our superhero!!!!Be blessed and thankful for your loved ones! I love you all!

Lillie's Friends Race at Tanglewood

I've mentioned this to the kids. Please print out a registration form and SEND IN WITH YOUR CHILD IF YOU'RE INTERESTED and I'll mail them together. What a wonderful way to show our love to my little friend, Stuart, in New York City!

We will start training some during recess when it warms up! Please join me!!!

Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Hi sweet boys and girls! I'm currently typing away to you from 4162 feet above sea level at Beech Mountain where I'm in fuzzy slippers, a fleece robe, and enjoying a fire in the 8 degree weather with over 2.5 feet of snow outside!!! Palmer has NOT been enjoying the outdoors, much to our dismay. In fact, when we arrived--THERE WAS NO POWER FOR A DAY AND A HALF. Joe Dirt is missing the warm grass under her paws as well. The views are spectacular from the Ski Slopes here and the company I've seen throughout the vacation has been warm and endearing. There have been many eating opportunities, miles on the highway, and a plethora of laughs and giggles (not just Palmers!) I just finished 2 children's books, the recent Newbery, The Graveyard Book (pretty dark and morbid), and the Magician's Elephant (Thanks Meaghan--a wonderful read about believing and hope in goodness!) I'm now reading The Help (an adult novel). Please ask me about them when we get back to school and I'll be glad to share my thoughts and opinions on them! I miss you all and encourage you to comment how you've spent your past few weeks away from school!

What a Fun Day!
