One week!

In just one short week it will be time for Team Norah to come together for the Ronald McDonald House Family Walk! 

We are so grateful for all of you and the support you have shown to not only our family, but past, present, and future families that will have their lives deeply impacted by the services the RMH provides. We've currently raised about $1,200 (in donations already applied, and donations we know are en route)! Every dollar makes an impact that lasts a lifetime.

Letters to Norah // 15 months

Has your grandma shown you the tulips, lilacs, and irises as they bloom? She always had a green thumb, so I can only imagine the magnificent garden she has in heaven. I’m sure she’s showing you how to plant and grow anything your little heart desires, and I bet you’re having a great time playing in the dirt. I can see her now, teaching you how to enjoy the sun, but not without lathering you in sunscreen first. If your grandma is in heaven, so is some sunscreen – has anyone checked her fanny pack?
