Red Cross Walk

On Saturday we did the Red Cross 5K Walk.  In addition to sponsoring the event, Todd's company also raised about $23,000.  Overall, over $200,000 was raised to support our local Red Cross.  Thank you to all of our friends and family who donated to the cause.

Todd and I had such a great time walking in Fairmont Park with Henry and Riley.  Riley of course enjoyed the time outside and the endless attention from the other walkers. He sported his "doggles" and a t-shirt which was part of the reason for his celebrity status.  Henry was having such a good time he didn't even let us know that during the walk he peed through his diaper, clothes and jacket. Luckily, we had a spare outfit with us.  All in all, it was a great morning.  

The morning was a little chilly, but we ended up with great weather.

Getting close to the finish line.

The Easter Bunny Came!

Henry had a great first Easter. We made it back home from North Carolina just in time for the Easter bunny's visit. Check out the slideshow (below) of the big day.

Spring Break 09

During my six years of teaching I never took a vacation over my spring break. So for my first Spring Break as a mom, I decided to give Henry a fun first one.  We had a blast visiting with my wonderful school friends in Wilmington, North Carolina.  Henry experienced the beach for the very first time.  While I was able to catch up with my girls, Henry and Elly had some time to get to know each other better. He was a great traveler, but this last week back has been a bit of a struggle to get him back on track.  It was of course worth it to be able to spend time with friends. Thanks to the Mottrams for being such great hosts!
