We had another great weekend. This weekend we didn't plan to much, we celebrated our 5th anniversary, remember we kept it easy for Bo 04-24-04...We took Addi to the movies to see "Earth". She did better this time, but no shock to anyone, our child talks a lot. I forgot suckers, that I normally bring to help keep her quite. She loved the ducks trying to fly and over course the elephants. After the movie, she showed her Mommy's talent of the crane toy games...I love those and she won her first toy, Dopey.
Saturday Bo worked out with the trainer and then we went out of the boat. Addi loves to go fast and giggles as the wind blows in her ears. The water is still too cold. The kid also loves to fish. We lost our first fished rod earlier in the week, it is at the bottom of the lake, but after many tears and begging the fishys to bring it back, Mommy was back a Target for another one. We are back in the fishing world, Mommy even got her fishing license. So we will Bo be sitting at the end of the dock.
Sunday was church and donuts. Then back out on the boat for just a little bit. Rest and then I drug Bo to see Legally Blonde the play. It was cute, but Bo said he paid his dues for our anniversary.
Love to All
Christi, Bo and Addi
PS - We see Dr. Crawford and Susan on May 5th for our next and hopefully last brain MRI, at least for a while.

Hello to All - Believe it or not, Bo and I have made it another year. 5 years married. Another small miracle for us to add to our list of blessings. What an amazing 5 years it has been. As in stride with being parents we spent the evening taking Addi to see, Earth, which was good, (thankfully no animals had dinner on the screen - not quite ready to explain) Addi did much better making it through the movie, it helped that she had two laps to jump on, a huge bag of popcorn, and some Coke. I know not good, but her juice went way to fast for the popcorn.
Addi news, we are now proud parent's of 6 caterpillars. Let's hope they do better than the fish. I gave up on them this past summer for obvious reasons and well, one straight jumped out of the tank. I can certainly take a hint. She never ceases to amaze me with her sassiness (is that a word), but the girl has some spunk. She is getting quite funny with it. At the moment I am to tried to think of any, so hopefully tomorrow morning I can get some pictures up and some new stories.
Love to All
Christi, Bo and Addi
Also we are still tallying the numbers of from last weekend, but right now we have raised about $12,000 to match the $12,000 that our friends donated through Eric Thomes. It looks like Duke will be getting close to $25,000 from us. Yeah....a big thank you to Dr. Crawford and Susan for making another appearance. I tell you they are awesome and were so happy to see how much better Bo is progressing since we tweaked his meds some. This should be one great summer!
PS - Sassiness is not a word, but I left it...

Well - we had another wonderful event. Thank you to everyone that attended what a fabulous turnout and a wonderful time. If you have pictures, send some my way and we will use the again for next year's slide show. A huge that you to the helpers with out you this would be so much harder. My neighbor Michelle and her husband helped a ton, it truly wouldn't happen with out them. Phil great job with the live auction, I am just glad a Carolina fan walked away with the basketball. I dare might say we have found out event...I think you gamblers out there are a little surprising. And for that missed the 3 cute young men at the end of the craps table, that was Bo's Papa, Dad and Uncle Mutt. I met them when they came in and then I knew whenever I needed them again they would be causing a scene on the table.
I will post pictures soon!
Love to All
Christi, Bo and Addi
PS - For those that asked our live music was JT from Raleigh, if you want his info. I can get it to you. Thanks JT, you were awesome, of course!

Hello to All - Life is good right now. I am always a little afraid to say that, but day by day and today was good. We had a little Easter Brunch with Grams and Papa and then some egg hunting, I will post pictures soon. Addi was so cute in her little dress. I do not normally put her in dresses, we never have a moment we do not have a boo-boo on our knees and pants seem to help that (she runs everywhere). But did she love to twirl today! Around and around we went. Then we decorated some eggs, went out to dinner, visited with Mr. B and Ms. Jennifer. What a good day, I am sure tomorrow will be even better.
I do have to apologize last weekend we had a wonderful "surprise" party for Bo to kick off our Addi's Cure event this upcoming weekend. Our good friend Eric helped to raise some money, just a little...over $12,000! Amazing and this is just to start things. He went to his home office and some of Bo's friendly competitors, you all are so wonderful...THANK YOU. With the economy the way it is right now, we are truly blessed that you all still support our efforts to find a cure for lung cancer. I always tell Bo that we will never stop raising money, I am not sure which dollar will save him, but we will raise that dollar and more to save him and others.
With that being said, we still have plenty of tickets left for our event "Beating the Odds" next weekend, April 18th. So if you have time to spare and money to burn, please, please come. There will be a limited number of tickets at the door, so if you want to get your ahead of time email info@addiscure.org or me or Bo. We would love to see everyone in person, play with some funny money, win a 50 inch TV, bid on some silent auction items and have fun for all. There will be some food, desserts and a cash bar as well.
Love to All
Christi, Bo and Addi
PS - Congrats to the Tarheels! I am so happy for Coach...but I do like Dicky V. picking KU as number 1 for next year!

Well finally the sun is back. It really came back yesterday, but I didn't want to jinx it and it looks like it will be here all day! I am even more happy to say that Bo is back on the golf course today! The first time since transplant! knowing him I am sure he will be very frustrated with his game, but I am sure there was a time he doubted he would ever be there. He head cold is finally going away, so that makes me feel better, although Addi might have it. I think she also has some allergy to something, so it might be that also. Darn those allergies.
So Addi and I are off to plant more flowers/
Love to All
Christi, Bo and Addi
