Numero Dos

Here is our Baby's blog, . I've been trying to post once a week. I hope to do it through the whole pregnancy so that I can have all my stats. If you're interested take a look. Don't forget to vote on the poll! We find out in 10 days if it is a Boy or Girl!

Click on the title "Numero Dos" to be linked to the blog.

For a Good Cause.

In March, at the age of thirty, my friend, Abbigail Israelsen became suddenly ill and on a ventilator fighting for her life for 18 days. She was in the hospital for 21 days, but thankfully she survived. It has been a long and emotional recovery that continues everyday.

She has joined the ARDS Foundation team to attend a fund raising walk on Sept. 21, 2008. For every donation that is made over $40, Abbi will give the donor an original drawing created specifically for them. The drawings will be done on 100% cotton rag paper with pen, pencil, and ink. You will receive your drawing in the mail by mid October, 2008.

After donating towards the Hike for Lung Health, email Abbi (abbiisraelsen@yahoo.com) with three words that she will use to inspire a drawing as a thank you gift.

The drawings will be shown at the Anton Art Center for a special fund raising exhibition Sept. 12-Oct. 3, 2008. All proceeds made from the exhibition will be donated for ARDS research.

Nana's Box

My friend Angie has started a non-profit project called "Nana's Box." It started when Ang's mom was battling cancer a few states away. Ang wanted to let her mom know she was being thought of and wanted to give her something that would make her happy. It was a small decorated box that was filled with pictures and uplifting quotes. Her mom loved it so much that Angie wants to make this available for those who are in similar situations. This is completely free and out of the kindness of her heart. She is currently hosting a give-away. So go check out her blog and enter to win!
