Well, the weekend was successful but definitely busy. I think it wore us all out, but Alexander was a trooper. Alexander got hives on Friday afternoon. They went away and were more than back on Saturday morning when he woke up. They looked horrible! Leave it to Jason's son to get hives on the weekend of his live TV debut. Jason was always sick or injured on his birthday and holidays as a kid.
Alexander had fun at the telethon where he helped answer phones and was never without eager hands to hold him.
He was on the evening news Friday night,
sitting with Karin McCay and trying to eat the mic.
His spot ran on Saturday at 2:30 for the kick-off of the telethon. You can see the piece at: http://www.kcbd.com/Global/category.asp?C=138135. This doesn't include the live part we did at telethon, but it was short and Alexander tried again to hold and talk into the microphone. We stayed for an hour or two on Saturday.
On Sunday, we went back after church and stayed until the final total was announced. Children's Miracle Network raised $1,006,902 this year! On Sunday, we helped our favorite morning DJs, Jeff, Kelly and Mudflap answer phones and they showed our UMC commercial and we did a short live interview with Abner from News Channel 11. Alexander was jumping, waving and clapping during this interview....luckily stealing the show. Then, all the kids went out at the end with the final total and confetti.
VBS started up Sunday night and went really well. Alexander started swim lessons on Monday! More to come on that in the next post. We finally found our two minute spot on the UMC website, so here's another video you can check out. https://www.umchealthsystem.com/truestories/

We survived the Telethon, three nights of VBS, two nights of Swim Lessons and our first three day Red Raider Orientation. Definitely resting up this weekend and looking forward to a swedish massage on Saturday!
