Chocolate Tasting #2

Does anyone recognize this guy? It's Peter Cetera, the lead singer of "Chicago," and he was at the chocolate tasting last night! Isn't that cool? He was talking to me about the chocolate and one of my friends said, "Do you know who you were just talking to?" I love "Chicago," and he loved the chocolate! He talked with Brock a little while about the chocolate, too.



This was the real star of last night. This is Liam. He has down syndrome and he's the cutest thing (go to http://jeremythiessen.typepad.com/ to read more about Liam). All in all, 66 people came last night, and $3,000 was raised for Liam. What a great night!

Chocolate Tasting #1

We are having a chocolate tasting in downtown Franklin Sunday night. Since Brock's parents left today and some of our other friends are going to be out of town Sunday as well, we decided to have one at our house last night. It was so fun!

Brock's parents got to experience a chocolate tasting. Plus, they got to meet some of our friends. They said that they enjoyed watching us all interact and how different we are. We do have a very interesting group!

Brock began to talk about the purpose for the evening. We are trying to help some friends whose baby has had some medical problems. (The guy is in the group Downhere which is an excellent band.) The bills are stacking up and we are trying to relieve some of that pressure. Before Brock even finished talking about it, the youngest person in the group (2 year old Anna) came up to Brock and said, "Here you go, Brock!" With this, she handed him a $50 monopoly money bill that she had in her little purse. Wow! This really encouraged our group to give!!! Out of the mouth of babes.
