Nia's Helicopter Ride

Nia and John were transported from MK Hospital to Bristol by helicopter! We loved it--very smooth ride. It took 35 minutes. Corinna and Finn went by car, and it took them nearly 3 hours for the same distance! Thanks for the ride, Thames Valley & Chiltern Air Ambulance Trust.

Happy 8th Birthday, Nia!

Clara, Rachel, Ashton, Charlotte, and Emily came to Nia's 8th Birthday Party! It was supposed to be a small, quiet get-together. It was anything but! After changing out of school clothes, Nia's guests were treated to Pass the Parcel, T-Shirt Painting, a High School Musical Singing Contest (congratulations Rachel!), Nail Decorating, a Treasure Hunt, Pizza and Cake. Thanks to all of Nia's friends for making it a great day!!!

Crazy Photo Session

Nia needed a pass photo, but it's not easy being serious!
