We have a fabulous weekend! Autumn, Lindsey and Sage had a sleepover at Nanie and grandpa’s house as they do every other weekend. I am so thankful to have them close; it has made the many transitions in our lives in the past year a lot less stressful.

Autumn has been feeling so well, I am ecstatic! I wasn’t sure how this recovery would go since the last one was so tough for her. It just goes to show you that you cannot really anticipate each week, it has been across the board!

My Uncle Bob and Aunt Janet teamed up this weekend in Chicago to have a garage sale fundraiser for Autumn, how sweet of them! Thank you Murphy’s and everyone else involved!!

Grandpa Ken & Nanie worked so hard sell so many of those orange bracelets that I have seen so many people wearing! The money that was donated was placed into her college account, what a treat (as any of who had to pay for college on their own knows!) that will be for her later on!
