McKenna’s Doing Great

We just wanted to update everyone on Ms. McKenna.  She is doing very well and has adjusted wonderfully after her surgeries 6 months ago. I was able to take a trip to West Palm Beach to visit the Conrad family earlier last month.  The whole crew was doing wonderfully.  McKenna has grown so much and she is a pretty excellent swimmer not to mention an adorable little girl.  Bela bear is also doing great in kindergarten and wow what a sweetheart she is.  I took the cutest photo of McKenna swimming with all of us.  She was sharing toys with Baby Zoey and Uncle Adam was playing “toss the baby” in the pool.  She thought it was the best thing ever. I was so sad when we had to leave our vacation early.

Tracy sent me Halloween photos at the beginning of the week and OMG Bela and McKenna were adorable. Bela was a flapper girl with the shimmy shake dress, boa and headband. She looked fabulous dawlin’.  McKenna was dressed up as the most adorable little gnome I have ever seen in my life. Tracy said that everywhere they went, people commented on their adorable and unique costumes. Too cute!

 

McKenna really is doing great and so are The Conrad's and that is in part thanks to all of you.  Your donations and purchases during our various fundraisers has truly relieved the financial burden McKenna’s surgeries have incurred. I am proud to say that to date we have earned $1504.46. $220.00 of that was solely from the A Mother’s Love kits that were sold through www.scrapoutsidethebox.com.  A huge thank you goes to Walter and Pam Pate for their generous donation to McKenna. We can not thank you enough for helping your extended family.

But there is still much we need to do to finish our task at hand.  Our current funds will take care of the minimum monthly payments through February of this year but we still need over $3,600.  We have some great ideas lined up for earning funds including art projects, bake sales, and much, much more.  We look forward to sharing more of McKenna’s adventures and our creative ideas with all of you. Be sure to visit our sister (no pun intended) sites to see what activities we have going on in the creative market.

Thank you again everyone and of course, Happy Holidays!
