Make A Wish






Today was a big day for us. Several weeks ago, Reagan and Gavin set up a Lemonade stand in our neighborhood. Reagan decided she wanted to give the money to charity and more specifically, a kids charity. Gavin quickly agreed. She picked Make A Wish after some thought and options. Today was the day we took the money to the local MAW office here in Houston. They were so excited to see the kids and talked with them about what the charity does. We found out that last year alone, 362 wishes were granted in our regional office. That is a lot of wishes :)

I have never been so proud of her. She came up with this all by herself. She did not spend 1 single penny on herself. A very good friend of mine from Arizona promptly sent her a check to add to the stash (thanks Shan). These are a few of the photos I snapped today......Hugs

  3. Isn't it nice when you see that your kids are turning out to be such great and caring people? Tell Reagan and Gavin they are Heroes to a lot of people for their selfless action.
