Wow... daily updates?

Not to pressure the other cousins or anything... but Joli has had an update almost every day now (hint hint).

So, I've mentioned our friends Deirdre and Chase before... Thank GOD for them! They are the ones who have organized all this fundraising for which we are eternally grateful. Honestly, I still haven't been able to even think of those two or talk to them without crying. Jorge and I are truly so humbled by their huge hearts!

Deirdre helped save our sanity today! Despite the wind and rain, Joli and I drove to their house for a play date. Okay, Joli and I INVITED OURSELVES for a playdate... and in true Deirdre fashion, she graciously opened the doors to us! Joli and Sidra (who is just a few months older than Joli) played all morning and had a great time! Joli was really excited to NOT be playing with Jorge or me, and to have a great play mate like Siddy! This was also our first play date with anyone since Joli was diagnosed, which was really a big deal for us. I think Joli and "City" (as she's nicknamed -- too cute!) also loved sticking their tongues out at Deirdre -- like in this picture!
