Mother Nature didn't cooperate with us this morning during our 2K and Tot Trot runs with the kids. The temperature was great, but the precipitation made running less than ideal and the picnic afterwards a bit of a challenge. Nevertheless we all put a smile on our faces and made the best of the situation. Much like cancer itself you won't always get the conditions you'd like, but you give it your best shot.

| Strong Like Evan! |
Evan's steroid treatment has had him acting a bit out of sorts the last couple of days. Cristy and I could tell he wasn't quite himself. As the day has wore on he's starting to smile a bit more. Looking forward to hearing his laughter more frequently as the week progresses.

| Taking part in the Tot Trot. Nolan was a blur. |
Yesterday we tried to pack in several fun activities and they eventually took their toll on him. I can't remember the last time he's willingly told me he was tired. Didn't even want to read a story last night. We were a bit concerned, but after checking his temp a few times throughout the night I guess he really was tired.

The rest of this blog will be full of photos from today. Nolan was his typical affectionate self as you'll see. There were two girls dressed as Belle and Anna (from Disney) and I'm positive he made their day. Thanks to friends who were able to make it out and support this very worthy cause. In our lifetime I'm confident they'll find a cure for Leukemia based on some of the research and drugs in trial now. T-Cell therapy looks very promising and it will be a monumental day indeed when we no longer have to poison people in order to heal them of this terrible disease.

Evan stayed with Aunt Gina during the first half of the race.
Nolan was out-going as usual.

| Wish this was a video. He was dancing and eating. |

| He literally ran over to every hero he saw today. |
