Helping a fellow blogger out . . .
It’s been a rough couple of weeks out on mommy front on the internet. We’ve had two deaths of little ones that were taken way too soon. I was amazed at the amount of support that was given to both mommies, and I truly wish there was something I could do to make it right. I hate that helpless feeling.
That’s why when I came across Loretta’s post I knew I had to spring into action. See, her family has had a rough year. Her husband ended up off work and in the hospital due to a crazy infection. However, through it all, she’s never asked for anything. Even now when her son’s bike was stolen over Easter weekend. Yes, stolen. Now, she won’t ask for anything, but I will for her. I’ve linked to her post and if you notice at the end of it there is a little donation for buying her a movie. I would love to raise enough money for her to get another bike for her son. If you’ve got a little extra this month, please pass it forward and make her day.
Thanks!

Wednesday’s Hero
34 years old from West Liberty, Kentucky
Secretary of the Army Pete Geren congratulates Sgt. Kelly Keck after presenting him the Purple Heart.
On September 13, 2008, Sgt. Kelly Keck, a combat medic serving in Afghanistan, was wounded while trying to aid his fellow soldiers who’s truck had just been struck by an IED. “I stepped off the road to try to get to the side of the truck, and the next thing I know I hear a loud boom, and I’m laying on the ground,” he said. Sgt. Kelly had stepped on a land mine. He was flown to a field hospital in Jalalabad where he ended up loosing three fingers on his left hand and his right leg below the knee. “It was quite an ordeal,” the soft-spoken soldier said.
These brave men and women sacrifice so much in their lives so that others may enjoy the freedoms we get to enjoy everyday. For that, I am proud to call them Hero.
We Should Not Only Mourn These Men And Women Who Died, We Should Also Thank God That Such People Lived

Will and Madison: Singing and Dancing

We took this video the day after I came home from San Diego. Bill did the taping while he was playing with the Sony Handycam I got. When the video gets super shaky, Madison was trying to help tape. The kids are super cute. Hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
