Hi all! I know it's been a while, but here we are again! We have been a little crazy here with school starting, fair time and news that Zavy's best buddy from school has cancer :o(.
The kids are loving school and are doing well.
Bunches of mine and Julie's sewing placed 1st, 2nd and 3rd in the fair and all 4 of our girls entered the Cotton Extravaganza that is in conjunction with the fair.
For the Cotton Extravaganza, each of the girls chose their own fabric for each of the 2 items we made for them. The purpose of the Extravaganza is to focus on cotton and mostly the girls. It gives them an opportunity to get up in front of people and to just have fun doing it! They had a blast! All of the girls win gifts no matter where they "place" in the competition. The seamstress (me) also places in the competition and win cold hard cash! Julie and I placed between 2nd and 4th in the 2 categories. We each created 4 designs. It was my first year and I placed 3rd, 3rd, 2nd and 4th. Not bad for the first time out. Next year I will have more of a handle on what they are looking for in each category and will hopefully do even better! We had a blast and that is the whole point of it all!!
We found out just about 2 weeks ago now, that Zavy's best buddy from school has Osteosarcoma (bone cancer). He is 8 years old. The boy's name is Lance Fletcher. With in 4 days of the diagnosis, Lance was at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Tennessee. Unfortunately, we found out on Friday that a spot on Lance's lung turned out to be Osteosarcoma as well. This makes the battle a little harder to fight, but we know Lance is at the right and best place for treatment! Also, we know that God is with Lance every step of the way. PLease pray for Lance and his family! We want Lance's name lifted up to God every minute of every day by someone around the world. Please help with that effort. If you would like to check on Lance's progress you can go to

If you know someone fighting cancer, another serious illness or injury, they can open a free caringBridge site to help keep their family and friends updated on their progress too. It is a wonderful, free site.
We'll try to update more often, please keep checking in with us!
Love
The Gramzow's
