March of Dimes Weekend

This weekend was the March of Dimes walk. We started at the CDH tent where we saw some nurses and hospital staff..and they got to see Abigail. We also spent some time with our 2 favorite CDH NICU graduates, Luca and Cally, and their families! The rain held off for the first mile...then it really came down. Around mile 2 we had to stop because of the massive amounts of lightning surrounding us. Even with the rain, it was a great time and we can't wait for next year! I forgot my camera but here are a few pics from Rob's mom....
Not a great picture of Abigail, but it shows her cute shirt she wore for the walk!

Abigail with Rob's parents and the shirts they made for the walk.

Even with all that rain and lightning, Miss Abigail was a happy kid. This is after standing in the rain for 30 minutes! We love her!!!
Thank you to everyone who donated in honor of Abigail! We really, really appreciate it so much!!!! Also a special thanks to all the grandparents and Aunt Julie who came out for the walk....and a BIG thanks to our neighbors Jenny, Ryan, Reese, and Chase and to The Holtz's for coming all the way out to St. Charles to walk with us! The rain was a bummer...but the cause is amazing!!!!

what a bummer about the rain, but sounds like it was still a great event. bob, neici, and abigail's shirts were great! a little bird told me that abigail kept everyone entertained the entire day, she is a riot.

Hopefully next years weather will be better.. for some reason I think we are going to say that every year.. Last year it was in the 40's! But I can handle that.. just no lightening and thunder!!! I really didn't even mind the rain;)! Hope to see you guys soon!!

It was still a fun day even though the weather didn't cooperate. Thank you for a delicious lunch too. Count us in again for next year.
