Alzheimer's

As some of you know I have taken up the hobby of running. (thanks Teri) I am not really good at it but it makes me feel better. In that spirit, I have set up a team to partipicate in the Memory Walk 2008. It is an oppertunity to raise money and awarness for Alzheimer's. Grandma Thurston is suffering from this cripping disease and I have seen how it has affected her whole family. I would like to do all I can to prevent it from affecting any more of us. If you are intrested please visit the web site and see what you can do to help. On the left hand side of my blog there is a link to Memory Walk 2008. You can go there and join our team if you would like to walk with us. Our team name is Wilma's Walkers. Or you can just donate to help fund the research needed to find a cure. To do that select find a walker and search for my name, that way your donation will be linked with our team. Thanks for any help you can give!

My kid can read!! Last night while I was working Brian came in the office to tell me that Kristian read his first word. We have letter magnats on the fridge (doesn't every home that has a child) and Kristian had gone in the kitchen to pout. He was mad at his dad (hey, it happens). Brian heard him say 'ssss aaaa ddd - sad'. On the fridge the letters were together and on his favorite movie (Talking Word Factory) that is how they show them to read. Say the first sound, then then second, then the last. Then say them faster. So he did. SSS AAA DDD - sad. I am so proud of him. He loves the alphabet. All day long he is telling me what letters say what sounds. It is fun to see him put them together on his own.
