Advertiser-Tribune News Coverage

As one can note by the time, I'm up not able to sleep. After finishing, "The Twits" which Shayla loved, we talked about Christi for at least 40 minutes last night. Shayla was so sweet and candid in all of her comments about her sister as we laughed and cried together: "She could remember anything mom. When I couldn't remember I'd ask her to and then a long time later she'd tell me when I asked her." Precious!

I'm thankful Shayla and Shayne are alseep. Shayne is on our couch cuddled up with Buckeye who only said, "Meow," when I said, "What are you doing?" I told Buckeye I was going to check the Advertiser Tribune's website to see if they had any news about Heidelberg's event yesterday and I am so pleased they have a colored photo and little article listed. Don't you love a small town?! Here is the picture and the link: http://www.advertiser-tribune.com/News/articles.asp?articleID=4182

Last night I added a few more pics to the bottom of the entry I posted earlier about the celebration and Dr. Corley sent me some photos too. I'll paste a couple here. It was a glorious day!

Shayne, Shayla and I spent the entire evening opening thoughtful sympathy cards as over a thousand have been received. We continue to be moved by the kindness and compassion so lovingly bestowed upon our family. Please accept our deepest thanks!
Many "Alex & the Amazing Lemonade Stand" book orders were placed yesterday. I'll willing to bet when these sweet students have classrooms of their own they will be organizing lemonade stands at their schools. I just wish Christi would have been around to autograph them as she loved to do - Christi, always with hearts over both the "i's".
Thank you, future teachers!
