Successful Walk Now for Autism

Jack & I participated in the Seattle Walk Now for Autism in honor of my 7 year old nephew, Lance Stephen Sherbert of Stedman, NC.  It was held on the beautiful campus of the University of Washington campus on 10/3/09.  I taped Lance's picture on the stroller to honor him as we did the walk.  He is a hard working & sweet boy who I love very much.  I know I can't remove autism from his life, but I can help by raising money for autism research.  It was great to see other families and children affected by autism at the walk.  It was empowering to know...we're in this together!

I was able to raise $275!  A big thanks to Liz Lawrence, Tony & Joyce Hodges, Larry & Kathy Harless, Brenda Hubbard, & Loretta & Michael Myers.  I really appreciate your support!

Isn't he the cutest boy in the world?

Yes, there are some sunny fall days in the Northwest...and the crowds flock to the pumpkin patches! Jack loved the whole experience...a hay ride, calf roping, cow milking, junior corn maze, & more. Life is good!

Jack has been to TX...Austin, Texas, that is, and he loved meeting his Aunt Betty & cousins--Fletcher, Claire, Guy, & Kate along with their parents Sabrina, Samantha & John. We had so much fun seeing the sights and enjoying the hospitality shown to us---a big thanks is in order.

Jack's favorite parts--riding on the "hair plane", taking a "horsey" drawn carriage ride, trying different types of ice cream (his new fav is orange shebert), & playing with Kate & Guy (his cousins are 2 & almost 4)!

Jack's least favorite part was 'trying' to sleep in the same hotel room with his parents & screaming until they gave in and then he got to sleep with his MaMa every night. Suffice it to say, that a tossing & turning 30 lb toddler in the bed with you will turn a night's sleep into many little naps! Jack fell off the bed but at least Daddy caught him in mid-air before he hit the floor!
