Beach Time

Written by Melissa

Last week, we all made a run for the beach. Jim, Heather, and Ariana checked out the sands of Myrtle Beach, while Andrew, Asa, and I enjoyed the surf and sun of Destin. We all had a good time and have the pictures to prove it. Looking forward to future vacations together.

Mother's Day

Written by Melissa

Certainly not the Mother's Day I ever expected, but the best one yet, nonetheless. To spend time with both my children and the four of us adults raising them was beautiful, incredibly special, and oh so easy. How sweet it was to just be. The six of us have such a long road ahead, but I can't wait to travel that road together. We certainly make a good team! Enjoy the pics.

Suppose it's better late than never... here are 200 more amazing pictures from our big Hoppy Easter Egg Hunt. Thanks to Ms. Emmy for taking the shots all afternoon. We'll cherish these always.

The A Team on the Run

Written by Heather and Melissa

We are excited to announce a fundraising effort for PRISMS, Parents and Researchers Interested in Smith-Magenis Syndrome. Six months from today, Heather will run in her first marathon - the Chickamauga Battlefield Marathon - in Fort Oglethorpe, GA on November 9, 2013. This day will mark the one year anniversary of the forming of our blended family, so it'll also be a big celebration, one certainly worth GIVING BACK for! Heather will be running in support of PRISMS and our family will be backing her (from the sidelines :-))! Details on the run and how we can all cheer Heather on to the finish line are forthcoming, but first we'd like to ask you all to make a donation to support PRISMS and SMS research.

Please consider donating to the cause. We're shooting for the stars with a $10,000 goal, but we know we have the most amazing extended family, as shown by the overwhelming emotional support we've received in the creation of THE A TEAM.

We'll keep a donation button on the left-hand column of the blog for the next six months, so feel free to refer any of your friends or family to help raise funds for PRSIMS and SMS research. Here you can also check out the progress we make toward our goal! Further, along the way, we'll provide incentives to continue to encourage folks to donate. Keep coming back to the blog for more.

 

 The A Team is more than proud of what we've become in the short time we've been together, but prouder still of what we know we will achieve in our future. Thank you all for being a part of this incredible journey.

 

 

 

 

Bulls Gone Wild

Written by Melissa

We stumbled upon a bull on Cinco de Mayo... and not because we had too much tequila!

Check out the boy's bull riding skills. Rodeo in his future?
