Beach Babe and National CHD Conference

Last weekend we went to the Grand Rapids area to visit Drew's Grandparents and extended family. We had a BLAST at Grand Haven on Saturday, the weather was great and Drew loved the beach and his first dip in Lake Michigan. He also slept amazingly well at Grandma Brown's. We also made sure to visit lots with "Uncle" Duke, who isn't doing too well these days. The above pics are of Drew enjoying the beach and him with "Uncle" Duke.

This weekend is the National CHD Conference! I am so excited, I can't stand it! I've never been to Texas, so that will be cool. Also, it will be very nice to finally meet the National Directors and hopefully some of the Chapter Officers as well! It seems to be set up to be very educational as well, so I am super stoked! Andrea and I will surely bring back a wealth of information to share with our chapter, friends and families.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer thus far! Oh, a special note...Tommy is doing much better, as is Lindsay. Lindsay did suffer some brain damage from her cardiac arrest, so they are determining the extent of it. Tommy received a special visitor in Brandon Inge, the 3rd Basemen for the Tigers. He was at the hospital the day of Tommy's transplant and came back specifically to see him. He asked Tommy to sign his arm and it got a lot of press that night at the game against the Cubs! Specifically when Brandon hit a two run homerun and it was dedicated to Tommy. Someone even threw a ball they caught to a friend of the family to take back to him at UofM. What an awesome experience for this special little boy!
