No More Diapers!

Guess who isn't wearing diapers any more? If you guessed me or Matt you're wrong! It's Carina! She is very, very proud of herself. We started on Wednesday and she wears underwear all day and even to bed. For awhile I was thinking she would be wearing pull-ups to college. Nope! She's now a big girl.

I also want to thank everyone who has contributed to my fundraising for the Scenic Shore 150 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. A contribution by a co-worker today put me over $2,000.

I've heard about a woman from Fond du Lac who is 30 years old and battling recurrent non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Her name is Heather Shanahan. She is going through chemo now and will have a stem cell transplant in the near future. I follow her story and her family's blog (http://heathershanahansfight.blogspot.com/). She is an incredibly tough, courageous woman and I will think of her as I ride. 150 miles on a bike is a piece of cake compared to chemo!
