Little Bits Of Sunshine


That title could easily describe our summer. Tonight is, after all, the finally of our summer. Here in Seattle, we only had bits of hot weather for the entire thing. Very maddening, especially if you feel warm only when it reaches 80 degrees. We struggled to have days hotter than 73.

However, I am not referring to the day time temperature in that title. The Sunshine Kids (http://www.sunshinekids.org) is an organization dedicated to helping cancer kids get rid of the dreary that clouds their lives and feel some fun. They arranged a night out to the 5th Avenue Theater here in Seattle to see Aladdin. Hannah and I were invited to go.

Hannah had such a fantastic time. She got all dressed up, gel in the hair and mom's perfume. She used her best manners and really was so perfectly polite. After the show, the Sunshine Kids got to go down and meet the cast. They were all wonderful. Hannah's eyes filled right up when the Sultan asked if she wanted to meet Princess Jasmine. She had been admiring her earlier, exclaiming that it was a "real live" princess. It was one of those nights you hope you remember forever.

I am going to write another post in the morning, or add on to this one, about how Hannah has been feeling, but for now, I am going to bed. First day of school tomorrow!

I'm sure that was a night that she'll remember probably even more so for having worn mommy's perfume...love that touch. Looking forward to hearing about her first day of school. Yea for Hannah!

  7. If you really want hot weather, send your cool rainy stuff our way & take ours. Please.

    I am in Texas, where we haven't seen BELOW 80 in months and everything is on fire.

  9. This is so sweet! Aladdin is one of the best movies/musicals ever to be put on, and it's so nice for Hannah to meet someone she admires. Hope you guys are doing well, and that her first day of school was amazing!

  10. I was thinking of all of you today. How is school going so far this year for Andrew and Aaron? Where is Hannah going to school? You mean that you actually have a few moments to yourself? xo Kitty Burke
