March for Babies

We had a great day for March for Babies today. Thank you to my friends, Beth and Suzy, for joining us on our walk. We missed my mom- still recovering from surgery and Tiffanie (baby due in 3 weeks). I was a bit worried when it was snowing yesterday that it would be a miserable day, but we had sunshine at the temp was around 45 F. The walk was well attended. Leah chose to ride in her stroller the entire time which surprised me as I can never get her to stay in it anymore. She was very scared before the walk when there were 3 mascots walking around greeting people. She was literally crying and shaking anytime they were within 30 feet of her. She was even asking to go back to the truck. This lasted until we started the walk and were about 200 feet from where the Mascots were. Oh, the things that set a 3 year old off!

A HUGE thanks to all those who sponsored our walk. We appreciate it! We were able to raise $690 to support March of Dimes effort to save babies. Beth and Suzy also did an amazing fundraising effort in only a short time. Thanks again!

Update

Just wanted to let everyone know that my Mom's surgery went well. Thanks for all your good thoughts.

Congratulations!

Congrats to our good friends, Rick and Jaclyn, on the birth of their new baby Boy. He was born this morning at a whopping 9lbs 4 oz. His name is Kurtis. Welcome Kurtis, we can't wait to meet you!

Speaking of babies. I am doing the March for Babies this Sunday. You still have time to make a pledge. Every family deserves a chance to experience the joy of welcoming a healthy baby into their home.

On another note... Please keep my mom in your thoughts and prayers this week. She has been diagnosed with a very early stage (stage 0) of breast cancer. She will have a lumpectomy on Thursday. Everything is expected to go just fine, but please take a moment to think a positive thought on her behalf on Thursday Morning.

Have a wonderful hump day!

Friday Night

It's Friday night. I am in the office doing some scrapbooking with the Wild v. Avalanche game in the background. They are tied 2-2 going into overtime. Joe is at the game with his friend Rick. I'm not jealous- really! :) As for Leah, she is fast asleep- in the hallway! She spent 4 hours at Adventure Park this afternoon with no nap. She fell asleep at 5pm at my parents house while watching Dora. I guess she was a bit worn out!

UPDATE: The Wild win in overtime! The series is tied 1-1!
