We had a second ChildRoots Southsiders reunion at the Zoo. This time more friends showed up and they had a great time goofing around.
Maddy played soccer over the summer with the Rose City United Soccer league and her team's name was the Cheetahs. Her good friend Ariel was on the team and they played well with each other. It was amazing how much Maddy's soccer skills improved over the summer!
After over a decade co-leading the "People in Portland with MS 40'ish and Under" Self-Help/Support Group, Marnie stepped down. Her co-leader (Lee) has a new co-leader (Scott) and all is well. Carol Choutka (Self-Help Group liaison with the National MS Society) came to the last meeting Marnie co-led, and brought flowers, cupcakes and a National MS Society paperweight as a thank you gift. It was a really nice end of an era.
Maddy's current bedtime routine includes a series of 10 kisses (cheek, cheek, forehead, chin, nose, then repeat) and meditation.
Marnie and Steve celebrated 9 years of marriage with a fantastic dinner & dessert at Portland City Grill.
Maddy and Marnie went to the Outlet Stores down I-5 for back to school (!) shopping and Maddy got her wish to go to a "Build-A-Bear Workshop". Maddy chose a Princess Kitty she named Fluffy. Fluffy purrs, has a heartbeat and also scent - cotton candy.
