March for Babies

This last weekend was the March for Babies and it was just fabulous. Friday night we didn't think it was going to be very good at all - Audrey came home and threw up on her mommy then Lily started vomiting too. Izzy had a tummy ache in the middle of the night but they all woke up Saturday morning feeling great. Stacy's friend couldn't come but Jessica came instead and that was a ton of fun to have her here. They got here Friday about 6 so we took them to Savutes for supper - they had never been there of course and we thought it would be fun to take them to a place they don't have in Texas. They both really liked it.

Saturday morning we met Jimmy and family at Lawrence Dumont for the march - Maranda's mother and sister were there plus some friends. My cousin Betty and her twins, Melissa and Jennifer came also to see everyone so it was quite the crowd. Maranda did a fine job sharing their story to the group even though the feedback from the speakers were very difficult to deal with. The march was advertised on the web site as a mile but we all agreed that was wrong. Later I did a measurement on a map program and it was actually 2.8 miles. The walk ended back at Lawrence Dumont where we were fed a great lunch by Carlos O'Kellys. The little ones then played in some of the games and activities they had.

Next Dennis, Stacy, Jessica and I went to a pottery sale in the Delano district that was fun and then to Target for some shopping. We came home and rested a bit then Jimmy's family came over for a barbecue. Jessica had so much fun with the triplets - they just loved her. Audrey was calling her "my Jessica". After they went home, Stacy's friend Dorinda and her husband and 2 month old baby came for a visit. All in all it was just a great day.

Sunday Stacy and Jessica went home and with a clean house and leftovers to eat I did a lot of cross stitching and knitting.

Our group earned over $2000 for the March of Dimes and we all had a wonderful time.
