October 21

It's been a good few weeks with Jamey, although steroids started yesterday and he is not feeling well right now. He's been active and fun, and we've had a good time. Last week he was invited to a private tour (by Jason Campbell - QB) of the Redskins practice stadium and locker room by a wonderful person we met at the Jason Campbell Classic. He had such a great time! In addition to this, when he got back to school he was told that his teachers gave him an award as student of the month. We couldn't be more proud. He's really doing great, in spite of all the obstacles he's facing.

The other boys are also doing fine. Noah's soccer team remains undefeated, and Coby started guitar classes a couple of weeks ago. His week is full of soccer and guitar now - the two things he loves the best! They are also doing great in school and really enjoying Sparky, our new puppy (he's so cute!).

David is starting to get ready for his and Jamey's trip to Israel in December. They are so excited to be going!

Here are a couple of pictures from our ride. :-)

I DID IT!!

Yesterday Ellen and I completed the 100 MILE bike ride. Boy does my butt hurt!! I still can't believe that we were able to do it. It was really difficult, but we followed David's advice - go 20 miles at a time. Anyway, our total ride time was over 6 hours. The best part of this was that I raised over $4000 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I can't thank you all enough for your support.

Jamey is doing great this week - we went to see Legally Blonde, the musical, today, and had a great time. We can still see some of the effects of the steroids, though. Hopefully those will dissipate soon. He is very excited because he starts guitar lessons tomorrow (at this cool place - Bach to Rock) and horseback riding next Sunday. The other boys are doing great, also. Noah will also start guitar tomorrow and Coby will start on the piano because his fingers are too small for the guitar.

I'll try to update soon!
