Walking the walk



Saturday we participated in Easter Seals' Run/Walk for the Kids. Our family raised more than $1,000 for Easter Seals where Brett has received quite a few services and therapies in the last three years.
Aunt Amy and I walked two miles with Brett in the jogging stroller and Auntie Kerry and Auntie Nancy ran the 5K race.
We were so grateful the rain held off and it wasn't too cold.
The event was yet another reminder of how truly blessed we are to have such a supportive and amazing family!
Everyone showed up for the event/after party and it was a blast!

The night before the event I asked Auntie Kiki if she had been training for the race at all (5K equals a bit over 3 miles). She said "In my mind" and added it had been a few years since she ran. Yet, she still earned a trophy for her age group!
