Just Dance!!!!

Did you know that September is National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month!! Were you aware that cancer is the no.1 killer of children in America???? Unfortunately, I am aware of this statistic. Kolten was diagnosed with cancer when he was just 3 years old and we are very lucky that he is now a healthy senior in High School and continues to be cancer free but I remember like it was yesterday how close our family could have become, part of that statistic!!

In honor of National Childhood Cancer Awareness, I decided to catch up on some older pictures and do a layout about a day that, even though Kolt was on chemo, he was feeling good and while we waited for his Sister to come out from an appointment, we goofed around and he started dancing. Quite a dancing fool! I remember being so happy about him dancing around like that because I knew he felt good that day!!
You can easily help out Families and Children who are dealing with this tragic disease, small, simple things CAN make a difference and EVERYBODY can help in some way or another, from sending a card, to making a dinner, to knitting a hat! Contact your local chapter of the American Cancer Society or CureSearch to find ways you might be able to help!!
Okay...that concludes my public service announcement! =:O)
As usual, my photograph is a little small...I still havent figured out how to fix that! I think if you click on the photo it will enlarge. Thanks for taking a peek!
Hugs!!
