Childhood awareness month..

I wanted to take a moment to remind everyone that September is National Childhood Cancer awareness month.

Unfortunately Cancer is the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States.

How can you help raise awareness? There is a wonderful list of ideas on Alex's Lemondade Stand site check it out!

If you are looking to donate to local/National groups, here are a few of our recommendations (in no particular order).

Happy New Year !! ... a little late of course

Hodgepodge update: All is well in the Solomon household. We drove to California this Christmas. The drive was beautiful (we lucked out with the traveling weather). All of Connor's follow-up's have been clear (super yay !!). He's been feeling well. He has some new challenges with a low Thyroid, and low Growth hormone (both side effects from treatment).

We had our first snowfall this year. Here are some photos.

Greg is a champion snowball maker (being from MN and all.. show off!)

Connor before he pelted me with snowballs (look how innocent he looks lol!)

Let the snowball fight commence!

Sparky the snow dog!

Here's wishing everyone a very happy 2012!
