We had the Beaverdash in Des Moines yesterday. The Beaverdash is a 5K run and 1 mile walk that is the main fundraiser for the Iowa chapter of Families of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Always good to see the other Iowa SMA families, and most all of them were there. We hadn't seen most of them since last September. Grace enjoys being around other kids in wheelchairs--because she doesn't get that experience too often. Grace took 2nd in the wheelchair race--I guess I'll have to look at getting her a better motor!
Otherwise things are busy with the start of the new school year. In addition to her school schedule, Grace has swimming on Tuesdays after school, religious education on Wednesday nights, and Girls Scouts every other Thursday night. She loves all three, but hopefully they don't drive her mom crazy getting to her to all her activities.
