I'm Bragging Again

because I'm Proud as Peaches........



Once again I ask you to indulge me in some bragging.

My ten year old, bald by choice grandson, Andrew reads Alex And The Amazing Lemonade Stand to all the preschoolers at his little sister's school.  This is quite a large group considering there are several classes, each named after a different animal.   This year Little One is an Owl, but there are Teddies, Butterflies, Froggies, Tigers, Penguins and Kangaroos!  

The teachers said the kids listened intently as Andrew read the story about a four year old little girl  with cancer, named Alex and her goal to raise a million dollars to find a cure selling lemonade.  She reached that goal before passing away at the age of eight.  Since then, her foundation, run by her parents has raised over 40 million dollars through Alex's Lemonade Stands across the country.

I love how Andrew brings awareness about love, caring and sacrifice to even the youngest children.

One of These Guys Is A Star



...can you guess which one?




Andrew and Peter Facinelli are setting up for a commercial.....a PSA for Alex's Lemonade Stands.


Andrew has been hosting Alex's Lemonade Stands, and raising money for pediatric cancer research  for several years, and was a featured hero four or five years ago.



This is Andrew at his very first Alex's Lemonade Stand in June, 2005.  He was only four years old...and is quite proud of the sign he made!
