The Hope Classic

Kevin's ND buddy Grable took some great photos from last night's Hope Classic that I wanted to share.  If you haven't already heard, Kevin's basektball team devoted last night's game to raise awareness and funds for Angelman Syndrome.  We had a blast! If interested, you can read a synopsis of the event and game here.

Here's Grable and one of the posters promoting the event at LMHS.

Some of our family and friends in the stands listening to Kevin's remarks.

The student council made t-shirts special for the event for the players to wear during the warm up.

 Jack and Hopie got them too!

 The Aces pulled off a big win!

My favorite part of the night was after they had shook hands with the opposing team, they all came over to where we were sitting to each give Hopie a high five!

Seconds before this picture was taken, someone handed me this bunch of balloons.  Hope thought they were fantastic, but I was a bit panicked about what to do with all of them.

 Thanks for coming up from Texas for the event, Uncle Grable and for being our event photographer and facebook/instagram promoter!

Erin stayed home so she could get some special one on one time with her Cousin Kate (Thanks Kate!!!).  She got her pink #hoopsforHope t-shirt this morning and had fun with one of the balloons.  

 Many thanks to all at Lower Merion who helped to make this event happen and to all of our family and friends who came out to support us.  It was so fun to have all of you there with us.  We are very blessed.
