Mary Grace's Trike-a-thon

Recently, Mary Grace raised money, through her preschool, for St. Jude's Hospital by participating in a Trike-a-thon. She was so excited to raise money for "sick little boys and girls." Thank you to all of you who donated money to her to help her raise money for St. Jude's.

Here is the video for her Trike-a-thon:


Not So Terrible Twos


Some call it the terrible twos
I call it memories that I don’t want to lose
Trains that he deeply loves
Affectionately he calls them “choo-choos”

A bit shy around strangers
Hiding behind dad’s leg
When he senses dangers
His hidden stare lingers

Of all the people two have a special place
Deep in his heart
The first is one he calls “Gace”
Clearly, she brings a smile to his face

Bed time stories or all of her snuggles
No one can explain a Mother’s love
Playing with cars or working a puzzle
Into her neck he loves to nuzzle

Countless times I’ve said he’s all boy
Surely, that’s definitely the truth
When a ball is a favorite toy
His deep, belly laugh at play brings sheer joy

Temper tantrums happen from day to day
What two year old doesn’t
All goes away when I hear him say,
“I’m Sawry” or “Otay”

It’s the not so terrible twos
Yes, there are rough days
That come when he’s whiny and a bad attitude
But, it’s priceless when we hear “I wub you”
