Easter



This was the best holiday yet! Max hunted for eggs with me and put them in his basket. He was a little distracted by the fun yard to run in and things to climb, but that's O.K. Everyone was so happy to see him joining in, interacting with others, and approximating (trying his best to talk) a ton. His favorite things were the animals that my sister painted on Gigi's walls, the Barney sign on her door, and the cats. We had a great day and I am pooped! Hope you all enjoyed a beautiful holiday with your loved ones.

How are you doing with your Moolah for Max containers? I put the label on an empty soda bottle. The quarters won't slide through the top so they go in the Eiffel Tower. It's already about 1/5 of the way full. Tatum helped me collect all of the spare change around the house. What a nice little teachable moment.

open house

We just got back from Max's Open House. He was a little upset to be back at school tonight, but was so excited to find all of his favorite things (books, cards, student photos) and be able to play with them without interruption. The greatest single thing to come out of this evening was that we found out that he has two little classmates in his SDC class that he favors. The fact that Lalo and Isabelle are Max's "favorites" just melts my heart. I love knowing that he has formed attachments to people who are not family members. I wasn't sure that Max would ever have friends. This is a giant step in that direction!

moolah for Max

My dad helped me make these great labels. (Thanks dad!) I love this picture of Max. it looks like he is reaching out to shake hands with you and thank you for helping out! We still have more labels to send out. Please ask your friends and family if they would be willing to toss their change into a Max container! Thanks in advance.

Just Imagine...

Imagine with me for a minute....

Imagine if 25 friends decided to put Moolah for Max labels on a random container...

Imagine if those same 25 friends tossed $100 or so into their cans over the next 6 months...

Imagine if we turned that $2500 in and it was used as part of a research grant....

Imagine if that grant was awarded to a brilliant researcher...

Imagine if that researcher was the one to find the link, the cause, the cure....

Imagine if you were a part of Moolah for Max and you changed the world...

Really--Imagine!

So where should I send your label? Send me your address!
