Wagie Rides for Tuesday!

My Best Friend Jen and I had our balloon release. I did video it... however, I need to watch it and then download it to my computer before I can share it!

Anyway, I did take a few pics. They turned out beautifully!

Jen and her girls came over to our house (because I had worked and the girls had been sick). She brought balloons, and tied NUKS on and waited so patiently for me to grab a shower!
(I'm lucky she has the patience of a saint!)

As we were getting ready to leave, we see this...

Emma thought that was pretty great, having a NUK tied to the end of the balloon!

Emma...

trying to figure out how to get that balloon off the NUK!

The twins were loaded up and ready to go...

it was such beautiful weather and the twins LOVE their wagon! We decided to just walk down the gravel road by our house. We had talked about walking all the way to the bridge... however, that is quite a walk and neither me nor Jen was up for that!

Emma was excited to be in her wagon too!

We headed down the road... only to realize, we left without one pacifier and Emma didn't have her sunglasses on! Big sister to the rescue! Hannah ran back and grabbed her sunglasses for her!

We walked a ways down the road and picked a dry spot to set off the balloons...

Emma and Hannah...

with their balloons to send to Tuesday! Hannah picked out a really pretty butterfly balloon to send! We soon discovered that the balloons with NUKs didn't fly... so we quickly snapped them off and released the balloons!

Once we watched the balloons float off into the distance... we noticed Cadie taking off into a field!
She had to wade through a ditch full of water... twice!
So, the messy girls got put in one wagon together!

We walked back to my house and as we got closer and was attempting to put the wagons up... Cadie takes off running across our yard that is so soggy from all the melted snow and not packed down yet b/c of construction last year. As I take off after her... I loose my shoes! They become stuck in the mud! I ended up running across the yard without my shoes!
To make matter worse... not only is Cadie a mess from the watery ditch, I'm a mess from running across a muddy yard without my shoes!
For those who don't know me... I hate dirt and mud and yuck!
Cadie wasn't allowed in the house until all muddy clothes were removed. As for me... well, lets just say I am thankful my neighbors weren't home!
Im also thankful that Jen's camera was safely out of reach!
Hannah... well, Hannah thought it was quite cute to sing a little limmerick for me! Won't say which one... but lets just say she saw way more than London and France!

OH! I almost forgot! Jen ordered Tuesday tiles for us and they came in the other day! These are the cutest things I have ever seen! If you haven't ordered them you have to do so by February 14th! Don't forget to mention FOR TUESDAY in the comment field!!

Two for Two-sday

I want to extend my condolences to the Whitt family during this time. My heart still aches for you and as a tribute to Tuesday, we will be doing a balloon release at 10:45am Saturday.

Little Miss Tuesday

Tuesday and Piper

I have NO words.
When I got the call last noc, I did ok until I tried to tell Jason.
Some may think it is silly to cry over a child I haven't ever met.
Though, I don't feel as though I haven't met her. I feel as though she lives in the next town over. Granted, she doesn't, but as much as I have exchanged stories with her mom... she might as well be!
I cry b/c I can't imagine going through this myself.
I cry b/c I can feel the anguish her mom must feel.
I cry b/c I care.
I cry b/c NO child should have to experience cancer.
Lastly, I cry b/c I ache for her siblings and esp her twin, Piper.

May God comfort them and keep them in the days ahead.

My heart aches....

For my friends out there... if you have noticed the buttons at the left of a little girl named Tuesday...
Please pray for her and her family.

All about Tuesday

I don't know if you notice that there is a bloggy button on the left side of a little girl fighting neuroblastoma.

Her name is Tuesday.
After hearing good news about the middle of December that her scans were clean, about a week later, her parents got the news that she has a rapidly growing tumor.

Many others have wrote much better posts about what is going on than I can do justice to...

so please, read about Tuesday here, or here or here and even here.
