March for Babies 2013

Today was our March for Babies walk.  The weather was perfect and my ankle survived the 4 miles!  Can't ask for more than that. ;)  C and lil' peanut were troopers!  I made sure to tell C tonight at bedtime that I was so proud and thankful for his good behavior during the walk. 

 

We raised $3,010 this year!!!  This was our 5th year involved with the March for Babies and that is our HIGHEST total yet!  Our faithful group of friends and family was joined by many new donors this year.  That was exciting to see happen. 

 

The past four years my sister has made the trip to walk with me.  On top of that, she brings in an insane amount of donations!  I'm so thankful for all her support.  Love my big sister!  I will miss being able to walk with her next year. 

 

Pictures of the big day...Team Walking for Wesley!

Showing off our top walker shirts.  Hubby gave us each a hard time when we came down the stairs this morning.  "Oh, oh!  Look out everybody.  There's a top walker in the house!"  He's just jealous.

 

The dance warm-up is always a fun part of the morning...

C walked away from his father after those moves started.  He was clearly embarrassed.

 

Lil' peanut remained unimpressed.  Ha!

Me and my boys!  Love these little munchkins.

 

Face painting...a hit again this year.

 

B went with Spiderman for the second year in a row, while C tried something different...Dracula.  Apparently there was blood in the picture in the book.  He was quite disappointed to discover that she had left it off.

 

 



 

Memory mile...

 

 

 

If you are reading this and you made a donation this year, thank you!  The walk always comes on the heels of Wesley's birthday and it always lifts my spirits to see those donations come in.  It's humbling to see so many people come alongside us as we honor Wesley's memory.  Again, thank you. 

 

Team Walking for Wesley may be separated by 1,300 miles next year, but we won't let that stop us!  March for Babies 2014...we'll be ready!
