Another Great Feis Weekend!

Saturday, June 5 in Hamburg, NY at the Buffalo Feis


Hannah and her friend Amber


 Look at all those Medals!


Great job, Hannah Marie!


We spent this past weekend in Buffalo, NY for the Buffalo Feis.  We were nervous about this feis, because Hannah would be competing against many of her Irish Dance School classmates.  It was fun to see so many Rince Na Tiarna dresses, the other feis we have attended have had very few girls from our school.

Hannah danced in 5 dances, and you can tell from the picture, she placed in 4.  Here were the results:

2nd in the Reel
1st in the Slip Jig
1st in the Hop Jig
4th in the Light Jig
6th in the Treble Jig (this was her first time competing in this dance and she got 6th out of 21, we were very proud of her!)

We decided to spend the night in Buffalo, since Hannah had her last dance class on Sunday morning.  We met up with a family whose father has CF and had a transplant in Cleveland almost 7 months ago.  Bill's wife, Deborah, found my blog before they listed, and we have been keeping in touch via e-mail.  They have a 10 year old daughter, Mikaela, so we have a lot in common.  We met them for dinner and it was so nice to finally get to talk face to face and share our stories.  Bill is doing great and was a pleasure to talk to.  I had been communicating with his wife Deborah for all these months. 


What a blessing this blog has been for me, I can't tell you the amazing and wonderful friends I have made through it.  Please pray that Bill continues to improve.  He has been struggling with some mild rejection like I did, so please send up some prayers for him and his wonderful family!  We are hoping to have them down in July for a visit so they can do some blueberry picking, I can't wait!

So, as you can tell, it was a wonderful weekend!  Praise the Lord!

Please Help!

Hello Friends!  As most of you know, I have felt called to assist Christian artist Jason Dunn.  Jason made such a huge impact on my Hannah through his music and positive outlook at a time when she was emotionally and spiritually lost.  God used Jason to answer a very special prayer I had sent to him regarding Hannah. In the time since Jason and I started working together, a lot has happened.  We founded a charity for children and young adults with diabetes called the Jason Dunn Diabetes Foundation ( www.jasondunnfoundation.com ); we put together an 8 state tour to support this foundation; and now, we have launched a campaign through a website called Faith Launcher ( www.faithlauncher.com ) to help pay off the debt from Jason's new album, Abandon Progress, but also, hopefully, to raise money for our foundation. I would like to ask you to consider helping Jason and me by supporting his Faith Launcher Campaign.  You can do this by going to www.faithlauncher.com...

Pain is under control

I was very concerned last night when the pain returned with a vengeance, I almost had to return to the ER, but I was able to talk to my brother-in-law and he suggested I take a second pain pill and that made the difference. I have made sure to be on top of the pain and not let it get so bad again. Hannah stayed home again today, but I am hoping that she will be able to return to school tomorrow. This is a nasty bug! I couldn't let Scott have all of the St. Patty's day fun. What do you think, do curls suite me? Love to you all! Nancy
