Fund Raiser, Confirmed Date and a Second Place Beautiful Baby Contest Winner

The fund raiser at Papa's Pizza yesterday was a giant success. Kelli organized the entire thing with help from Jill, Brian and her friends. We are so proud of you Kel!!! The whole family had pizza at Papa's on Main Street in Springfield and we were so touched by all the family, friends, co-workers, teachers and people we don't even know who were there and at the Papa's on Coburg Road who supported the cause. THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH. Words truly can't express how we feel. It restores faith in the kindness and caring of people and makes us all slow down and appreciate what great people we are surrounded by. THANK YOU, THANK YOU ALL AGAIN AND A SPECIAL THANKS TO PAPA'S PIZZA FOR THEIR SUPPORT. 

The surgeons office from UCSF called this morning and Kyla now has a firm date. She will need to be there on Monday, the 13th for some tests and the biopsy will be done on Tuesday. Kyla and Jed will leave for San Francisco on Sunday and Dave and I will leave on Monday. Jill and Kelli will be taking care of Emma while we are gone and then we will come home and take everyone to SF on the weekend of the 18th so we will be there for the surgery. We are assuming the surgery will take place on the 21st which is exactly a week later, but that will remain tentative until she goes through the biopsy. We have faith that things will go well and all the positive prayer and thoughts to Kyla and our family are felt. God bless each of you as we have been and we love you.

Kyla dropped by to pick up some pictures of Emma from Bruce Berg and found out that she placed second in the Lane County Beautiful Baby contest. The winning photo will be displayed at Valley River Center beginning tomorrow. Of course this grandma always knew she was the best!.....
