What a weekend!

Sunday we went to Rob and Kim's house for some fun in the pool. The boys swam for almost 5 hours and still didn't want to get out, but Kim assured them they could come back anytime and swim. Once we got home they were down for the count, and slept until the next morning. We went back and swam again on Monday afternoon, it was a blast the kids loved it, and I think that being in the water is great therapy for Masan's muscles! I must say that I am a bit burnt today but after soaking in a warm milk bath I am starting to feel a lot better.

Monday morning we got a phone call from the St. Joseph News press they wanted to get family pictures for the article that they are doing on Dream Factory volunteers Joann and Terry Parker and Masan's dream. I am really happy to hear that they are writing a story because until we started this process I had never even heard of Dream Factory, I had heard of other wish granting organizations but Dream Factory actually has an office here in St. Joseph, MO. I am hoping that with this story coming out in the paper it will motivate more people to donate, support and volunteer for Dream Factory. I know that our family feels very blessed to get to go to Disney World and without Dream Factory we would never be able to go. Masan is counting down the days and already has made his list of things he wants to do and see while we are there. Anyone who has to go through the hustle and bustle of weekly doctors appointments or waiting for test results will understand that having one week where you don't have to deal with any medical facility will be pure bliss for us! Please if you get nothing else out of this post get this....without people volunteering time, frequent flyer miles, money, and services wish granting organizations wouldn't be able to make dreams come true for these kids who may never have a chance to do the things the wish so very much to do! If this has touched your heart at all please go to http://www.dreamfactoryinc.com/ and see what you can do to help!!! Thank You all for the prayers we have received and God Bless!
