Spread the love...

I know this isn't exactly the type of post intended for this blog, but Heather invited me a long time ago and I've never contributed! For what it's worth I thought some of you might be interested in this, already know about it, or be kind enough to pass the info on to others!

Last week Christian and Stephanie Nielson were in a very serious plane crash. They are a young LDS couple with four children under the age of six. They are in critical condition. Stephanie has third degree burns covering 80% of her body and Christian has third degree burns over 30% of his body. The recovery will be very long and very expensive.

If you are able, please consider contributing to this fund that will go directly to the family. http://www.nierecovery.com/

This weekend, several websites are auctioning off items for their benefit. Go here to see the comprehensive list: http://www.designmom.com/. There are some great things out there all helping a wonderful cause! (designmom is also an awesome, awesome blog that you should be checking daily anyway! :) )

Updates about Stephanie and Christian here: http://blog.cjanerun.com/

Thanks guys!

Remember for Next Year....


Half Moon Beach is a cool place if you are like my family and don't mind swimming in mucky water. The sand is awesome there w/ sand volleyball and row boats too. You should check it out... it's in Strasburg only about 40 mins from Gainesville/ Haymarket.





Oh and it's named half moon beach because the water is shaped like a half moon :) ha. We wondered.


They have a huge outdoor paintball set up there too.

Toddlin' Time

Toddlin' Time is opening a new location in Old Town Warrenton and starting registration for their first 6-week session.  (They also have a location in Manassas next door to Stonewall Jackson High School.)  The Warrenton location is having a grand re-opening on Saturday, August 23 from 10-2.  They are also having free--free play sessions the week of August 25-29.   The Manassas location is having their open houses on August 27 and September 4.  Check out the websites for times.

I would like to sign Ryan up for one of the Toddle 3 classes (ages 24-36 months).  I would prefer a Tuesday or Wednesday class, but I'd go with someone else at another time!  Let me know.  I would go to the Manassas or Warrenton locations.

Kids Night at Chick-fil-a

We went to Chick-fil-a on Saturday night and found out that they now have kids night every Tuesday, which means they get a FREE kids meal with every combo purchased. And Saturdays are Webkinz nights where the kids get a free meal if they bring in a Webkinz. Just thought I'd pass it along, I'm off to buy my kids some Webkinz!
