We're Alive!

Yay ... We survived the nasty virus that knocked out most of my family for a full week and even pulled off a successful fundraiser for the Collin County Children's Advocacy Center at our home on May 3rd. Big sigh of relief! It's been over a week and we are still recovering. Hopefully by next week the garage will be back in order so I can park in there and maybe I'll even be caught up on the work and household tasks that had to be put on hold while we focused on the Mudbug Fest and getting our children well. (You'll notice I am blogging now instead of doing above said work and chores, but hey, I'm also having my lunch while I type so I am multi-tasking!)

We had almost 200 people show up this year for the event! The weather was perfect and everyone had a great time. Once again, Southern Drive, treated us to an acoustical jam for all to enjoy while eating the 350 lbs of crawfish David cooked! You can see all the pictures on our photo site. Thanks to everyone who helped us put on the event and came out to support such a worthy cause!

Here's a picture of me and David at our Mudbug Fest holding the Proclamation we received from Plano's mayor, Pat Evans, which recognized us and officially proclaimed May 3rd, 2008 as "Mudbug Fest" in Plano and encouraged everyone to join in the effort to bring awareness and assistance to our children who have experienced child abuse.
