Looks like we are just going to get into the Pfizer Myostatin Inhibitor trials with Hayden. He turns 10 in just over a month and we're going for screening next week to Vancouver.

And click the 'Vote For This Charity' button. It wouldn't hurt to vote up the submission which…

Hayden (our oldest) is in Kindergarten and I wasn't too surprised when we gave me a card this morning they made in class. What did surprise me was the poem included in it, and how I couldn't hold back a few tears after reading it. It hit a little too close to home and made me thing about how important it is to slow down once in a while and enjoy the time we have.
