School days...

It's the second week of October and the back-to-school photos have long since been posted to everyone's Facebook accounts.  But, in the households of of childhood cancer families that's not alway true.  Sometimes these children are not well enough to start school with their classmates.  That was the case for this little fighter.  But, today this beautiful sight appeared in my feed.  Sweet Norah has officially made it to her first day of second grade! 

In the Peter Powerhouse office this calls for a celebration!  So as is often the case my day took a few detours and I ended up at the party store and the Dairy Queen.

Ice cream cake makes a great after-school snack.  It's such a pleasure to treat these children to a small surprise.  We would have loved to see her face when she laid eyes on her surprise.

We hope you have a great year in the second grade, Norah!  We'll keep you in our thoughts and prayers!  Thank you for the picture, mom!
