March of Dimes

Sunday we walked in the March of Dimes - March for Babies at the Lebanon Fairgrounds. The March of Dimes deals with birth defects, premature births, and helps expectant mothers beat addiction during pregnancy. (I have a link on this page to March of Dimes website) Since Mikayla has a birth defect we felt this was a good cause for us to get involved. We had a really good response with donations to "Team Mikayla", we won first place in Division II(we think that is the family division) for money raised. We raised $1,850!!! Next year we hope to do better - try a little harder. We have so much going on lately, Mike and I did not put forth that much effort in collecting money. To everyone who did donate - thank you so much - we appreciate it!!!!!!


Some of the groups standing around waiting to walk.

Mikayla and Mommy before the walk. Mikayla was kinda grumpy until we started walking - it was her nap time.

Starting the walk... we were in the back. Mikayla is looking for her graham crackers in her stroller tray... she loves those things.

Here's Mikayla with our award for most money raised in our division.

Mommy, Daddy, and tired Mikayla

Here's everyone that walked with us... Left to right (1st row) Mike, Mikayla, and Leshia - (2nd row) Philip, Amber, Susan, Bonnie, Memaw, and Carl. We had several others that were supposed to walk with us but things came up for them all at the last minute.
