My office mgr brought it to my attention. I told her that I've already met Paul and even proudly display his magnet willsing4acure on my car! She then put 2 & 2 together! Have fun in Kindergarden Nicholas! Laurel doesn't turn 5 until after the school year starts, so we have another year. AFter a scaring visit at MUSC last week, we too continue to be NED.

Oh that little guy of yours, He is going to be a heart breaker. That is so so difficult when kids leave pre-school and go somewhere else. They do miss their friends but always meet new ones just as fun. We will have to wait and see if Nicholas really does marry his "best friend". Mike and I met in school and were "high school sweet hearts" but not pre-school. That would be neat.You all did a great job with the relay for life. WOW, that is alot of money. GREAT JOB!!!! I bet it was fun. We are in the midst of a ham sandwich sale now as a fundraiser. I need to work a little harder at it then I have been though.Both our little guys are off to kindergarten this year. Exciting but sad too. Sad because my they are growing up and no longer a baby but Great because they are here and doing it. We are truly blessed everyday by everything we get to enjoy and do.

That is how Jared was everytime his sister lost a tooth. I was showing Kirsten and Jared Nicholas's web page and we were talking about Nicholas and Jared. So when I went to the home page. We were talking about how Jared and Nicholas both had the same thing (referring to Jared's belly/NB), they both had a doggy named Buddy and when I showed them the picture I said what else do they have the same? Jared guessed they both have scars on their belly. Kirsten guessed where I was going though, they had the same outfit. They loved the picture of Nicholas holding the puppy and the picture with all the birds on him. They laughed and adored the dog. My kids both love animals so much. Well I hope you lose your first tooth soon Nicholas (which I am sure you will). Take care and god bless. caringbridge.org/pa/jaredstrayer Connie <tinkerbell53@netzero.net> Carlisle, PA - Thursday, March 2, 2006 4:16 AM CST G'day NIC, this is Jay's darlsy mum , I have to visit for Jay coz he has not been feeling well.

I was just at Duke Hospital with my six year old daughter. How i came across your name is because the child life specialist gave my daughter a pillow case that i assume you guys made. It was so sweet that you guys made them for sick kids in the hospital my daughter really likes it. She got the one with ballerinas on it. It is so pretty Anyways my daughter had been sick off and on for a while, but she really got sick this past weekened. I took her to the er and they determined that through a ct scan that she had an arachnoid cyst on the top of her brain. We then were transferd to duke hospital that night. They were going to do emergency surgery the next morning but she had a high fever so they had to wait untill the next morning. She also had hydrocephily on the brain because the cyst was not letting the fluid to pass. They told me that this was a bith defect that started this. They also told me this was rare to. I told him that was nothing new to me i also have a 10 year old daughter that has ediopathic chronic pancreatitis i have been told this was rare to. So i know how you guys feel to have a sick child i feel for you and i hope and pray to god that everything will continue to go well for your son.
