The Walk and Life

So it's almost 1am and I finally have a minute to post something.... Life has been non-stop around here and I find myself saying on more than one occasion during the day, when will I get a second to breath..... Someday I will get a good routine down and then I can sit back and take a deep breath, but for now this is what I got : )

This past weekend we decided to go and participate in the Buddy Walk, which is an event that raises money and awareness for the National Down Syndrome Foundation. We decided that we were going to go the week before so our money raising consisted of a donation from us, but we hope to participate in more things like this in the future and by then we will have everything together..... I didn't know what to expect so instead of getting a huge team together, we wanted to do this one on our own... It was funny because as the day approached I got really nervous. I have never been to anything like this so I had no idea of what to expect, and with it being my idea if something crazy happened it would fall on my shoulders.... so we took a deep breath and went. It was a really nice day and once we got there, the kids were having a blast. There were little carnival games set up so they could go around to the different booths, do a little game an get a prize. We first did the fishing booth which Jack and Elle did. then Elle got her face painted and for whatever reason asked to have a dolphin?? interesting choice... but from there it was about following Elle around to events she wanted to do and if it was something Jack might want to do we would get him out of the stroller... I told Steve we should get some shirts made just for our "Team" and because of connections he has we had a bunch of shirts for the event, our Team name of course was Team Jack Attack It was a really fun time, just being with each other, and then when we did the walk it was really fun just to do in honor of having such an amazing little man. October is National Down Syndrome Awareness month so I am excited for that. Here are some picts of the day...

Here we are doing the cupcake walk : )

Elle getting the dolphin?!?

Jack was actually jammin' to the music right here.. and you can't really see it but Chick-Fil-a was there so their Cows that hold the the Eat more Chicken signs were walking around -you can sort of see one in the upper right hand corner -... Jack didn't mind them but an older sister would freak when they were within 10 feet of us, although she did give them a high 5 when we passed them during the walk ; )

This was the beginning, I was totally at the wrong angle as you cant even see Jack, you just see Marleys car seat : (

Finally the whole group in our awesome shirts - we really didn't have one Marleys size so she got wrapped up in one...
