Back to School

Hi,
X is doing really well. Adjusting to the long days of 6th grade with ease. :) I dont think he is too fond of the homework, but what kid is? I love all of normal stuff we are doing now! He is also back in baseball as I said in the last post. He has a scrimage on Monday and will be pitching! Speaking of baseball, we got a call from one of the Child Life specialists at the clinic on Friday...she said she wanted to invite X and the entire family to an event at Dodger Stadium on Wednesday. The wives and girlfriends of the players set up these events for different charities, and this time the charity is Pediatric Cancer. We get to go to the stadium, run the bases, check out the dugout, and meet some players! They are also feeding us dinner and then we get to watch the game. We are looking forward to it! Will try and post pics of it afterward. We also got to take part in a Make-A-Wish event at Wild Rivers last week. Our entire family got to enjoy the waterpark and a BBQ lunch at no cost. It was especially nice becaue we got to spend time with our friend Benjamin and his family. He and X were in the hospital together when they were diagnosed, X with leukemia, Benjamin with osteosarcoma. They are both doing so well and it was nice to see them out acting like kids again! X has an appointment for spinal chemo at the end of the month. Hope everyone is enjoying their summer.

Rock on! School starts for G this thursday he is going into first grade. We must have missed a post we didn't know Xavier was back in baseball or getting ready for school! We are so happy for you all, I must say it is kinda weird not praying for you every night, God answered that one, now we just pray you stay healthy and become a ROCKIES Fan! Have fun with the Dodgers, and know we will always be in your corner!

Much love to you!
Your Colorado Fans,
Tina, Scott & Grant
