Relay for Life- A Second Go

Gracie getting her celebratory "Way To Go Kickin' Cancer's Butt!" volcano at Rainforest Cafe. Boy is she EXCITED!! In fact she didn't want to share with anyone because it was special for her.

Grandma treated everyone to a special dinner when she found out that Relay had been postponed.

We got news a couple of nights ago that Relay for Life in Cedar Park has been rescheduled for Friday May 29 at the same time and in the same place. The problem is we won't know if we can attend it until May 22 after Gracie's EUA as the 29th is a possible surgery date if that is what is required. So we hope we can make it so that Gracie can walk in her first survivors lap with all of her friends cheering her on, but we'll let you know after the 22nd if it's going to happen.

Also the survivors dinner has now been changed to a lunch at 11 am on Saturday May 23rd  at the Sheraton Austin Hotel 701 East 11th St Austin TX. We also don't know if we'll be make it to this as our older two girls are in a swim meet and parents are required to volunteer at it. Maybe they'll make an exception for us under the circumstances. But then we may want to ask for an exception if we can't make it to the next weeks swim meet because Gracie needs surgery too. How many exceptions can one family request, especially when the swim meets require volunteers to run smoothly? Oh well, we'll know more next week and we'll let you know what our plans are when we've made them. 

We did go out and celebrate with all the family that had flown in on May 1, the day Relay was originally scheduled. James took the day off school and we pulled our oldest daughter out of school and headed to San Antonio. We went to Sea World, did the River Walk and had a really nice dinner at the Rain Forest Cafe while we were there. Gracie had a blast and we all did our best to make it a special day for her.
