diabetes education--check! brandon & i went to emily's class today to "educate" them on diabetes. her classmates had been asking hundreds of questions (with good reason) & we offered to do a presentation & answer questions (after okaying it with em, of course). we called it her "new normal" & they had some great questions. i am hoping that will help her avoid having to answer anymore!

onto the walk info...
www.walk.jdrf.org
you can donate/register for the walk on the website under "TEAM EM"--of course we want everyone we know to sign up! we are working toward a cure! we realize that everyone cannot physically be there, but all of the proceeds go straight to the jdrf (juvenile diabetes research foundation) for research. please donate & tell your friends! we will be sending out more info, but for now, this is an easy way to get started! our email address is meyermom3@yahoo.com if you have questions, etc. you will likely have to email me to let me know your t-shirt size, etc. thank you, thank you, thank you in advance!

off to count carbs at school--they are finishing up a measurement unit, complete with foods from home. mrs. hatch is so helpful, though, part of their assignment was to list how many carbs were in each serving--way to go mrs. hatch! it takes a village...

hoping, praying, believing we can & will find a cure for diabetes!!!
