Walking for Jack-A-Roo

Our walk was great!

Last weekend we headed to Dallas on Friday. It takes about 6 hours to get there. Not because of the traffic or distance, but because we are traveling with a baby. A baby that isn't the biggest fan of the car. He does much better than he used to do. He used to scream bloody murder the whole time and now he just does it some of the time. It's an improvement at least.


We had a great time Friday evening hanging out with Jesus and Patty and some friends from the area. The kids, Jonathan and Nicholas played so well with Jack. It was super cute. We had a game night that was a blast, and hysterical.

Then Saturday was the big walk. The weather couldn't have been more perfect, it was in the low 80's and overcast.

It was good to meet some of the other families. And we raised $4,700! We came in 2nd place as far as fund raising goes. We got an award and everything. We didn't stay long enough to actually accept the award because Jack fell asleep and we had already been there for 4 hours. But my mom accepted it for us and I'm glad she was there to do that.
Yes, I look like a dork here, but Jack was having fun and being a ham.


There were lots of walkers there! And Dallas raised a total of $75,000.



Jack wanted to be carried some too.



Jack really wanted to play in the fountain at the park after the walk. Finally I just stripped him down to his diaper and let him at it. Thankfully we had his swim shirt in the car to protect him a bit.


This was just a good one. Nicholas got right in the camera and said "can you see me?". It was cute.


And lastly, after we got home we all got sick. I got it the worst. I've had either strep or bronchitis, and it was bad. I'm still coughing up crap. And it's extremely difficult to take care of a baby when you're sick. Jonathan got a sinus infection so he hasn't felt great either. And Jack has had a runny nose that thankfully hasn't turned into anything else yet. It's still running though.
