Our hearts are on a mission

We have been so occupied with work the last few days that there has been little time left for fun stuff like blogging!

After my CF diagnosis I decided to step away from the monogramming machine and take a break. Well, I did and I really enjoyed it, but this week is business as usual! The weekend was spent nursing our still sick little girl back to good health and getting together an order of 40 personalized koozies for an area private school. Sunday was a break b/c of THE Big Game...what an exciting one it was! Monday morning we hit the road running...or rather the machine monogramming! I was so proud to finish the BIG order of 40 in one day wrapped and ready to go! I am that good!!! :)

Today was gymnastics for Ellie and this is another frustrating blog on its own. I mean why do people bring their sick hacking cough having kids into a gym to rub all over the equipment and basically germ infest all of the other kids??? Is it not common sense to keep a child out of a group setting if they are couging up a lung and can't seem to cover their mouths?!?! This is definitely the reason I have been so protective over Ellie for the past two years. I fear parents like those in my daughters gymnastics class. I held my tongue today, but the same can not be promissed for next week...so stay tuned!

Now on to our weekly pep rally for our March for Babies team: TEAM CHUNKY MONKEY with donations I have received at our house we are up to $600
So, 82 more days to raise money for march for babies and Team Chunky Monkey. There are so many ways you can help Team Chunky Monkey so that we can help March for Babies. The banner on the right as well as the very cute and personalized button will take you directly to my page which is: http://marchforbabies.org/littleengine. Also, you can add our button logo to your blogs, facebook, myspace...whatever can accomodate html.


Sponsor Our Walk: Even the smallest amount of money can accomplish amazing things (just as the smallest babies can.) You can donate by credit/debit card, PayPal or cash/check. This does not sign you up on our team. This is a good option for those who wish to donate, but are unable to walk on our team.

Join Team Chunky Monkey: Just click on Walk With Me. From there, you can begin collecting donations to meet your own goal which will go towards the team goal.

What if you want to walk, but do not want to collect donations? Just click on Walk With Me and set your goal to be the amount of money you wish to donate. Then, donate to yourself and show up to walk.

What if you want to walk, but are unable to donate yourself? Just click on Walk With Me, set a goal and begin collecting donations from others.

Our goal is to have our shirts ordered by the middle of March. We will be providing Team Chunky Monkey t-shirts for all of our team members (donated directly to us or raised money on their own contributing to our team goal) that come out to support us on April 26 at Robertson Stadium at 9am. We have 82 days left to raise about 2400. That comes to about $29.27/day. If we could get 6 friends to raise $5/day we could reach our goal. As simple as this sounds, it’s only with your help that we are going to be able to reach this goal. Please share our blog site with your friends by linking it in emails or posting it up at work. You can even link our March for Babies sticker to your blog. Let them read our story to see how much this organization means to our family and what it has done for us and so many others. The future of preemie babies is counting on us to help them…and we are counting on you to help us. Together we can make a difference!

Many Blessings for all of your continued love and support,
Angie
