Happy Halloween Batman!

My Dog Weighs As Much As My 9yr Old Brother

Introducing Daisy....my gentle giant. She has eaten Tyler's pool noodle, 3 green peppers out of the garden, and a tube of diaper cream. She likes ice cubes and treats. She loves to lick the baby food from my fingers. She loves to play with the family, but is very sweet and gentle with me. She is a 2 yr old rescue black lab.

I'm A Member !

I am finally a member of the No Cavity Club. Dr. Mertes said that my teeth look great!

Visiting Camp and Blue Cheese

I went to camp. No, silly, I didn't "go" to camp....but I did pick up my brother there. I saw Meredith too!!! She was very excited to see me outside of school. She tickled my toes and made me smile. The family went to Quaker Steak for some chicken wings and I licked blue cheese dressing off of a piece of celery. It was some good stuff! Also, I am now the proud co-owner of a dog that weighs 20 lbs more than me. Daisy was brought home a couple weeks ago. She is a 2yr old black Lab rescue and she LOVES to give kisses. Pictures to come....

Our team goal was $3,000 and I can tell you that we walked all over that number. I will pass on the numbers as soon as I hear about them! Thank you to everyone. Your donations, both large and small, make a huge difference for CF.

It takes a bathtub and a baseball team.....

One of the advertisement signs at the CF walk said, "You don't need to be a scientist to cure CF. Walking raises money. Money buys science. Scientists study the science...and science cures CF." Curing CF may be in Timmy's lifetime. It takes walking, and family, and friends, and donations, and philanthropy, a bathtub, and a baseball team. Timmy's Team grows each year, and this year we grew a fraternity and a baseball team....all in support to find a cure for a disease that I didn't ask to have...thank you.
