On April 30th, Roxane and I joined hundreds of other walkers in a 5-mile walk raising awareness and funds for the March of Dimes in support of research and development to assist premature infants. We even took pictures so that I could include here on the blog...well, we thought we took pictures! In fact, we took "movies" - that fancy-schmancy digital camera of mine! I was taking movies of DJ last week and forgot to change the camera setting back. Suffice it to say that we completed the walk in fine style. I thought we were signing up for a 5k... note to self - read the fine print! Anyway, it was a great way to kick off the Spring "back to shape" campaign. I was a tad sore on Monday but none the worse for the walk. Together we raised $400. Next year I hope to have a stronger showing (meaning- if you're reading this, you'll be asked to walk and/or donate to the cause). I was moved by the families walking together - t-shirts of preemies, there were toddlers with little signs, "I was a preemie" on their backs...once the walk was completed, Roxane and I took the time to write notes to families with babies in the NICU now. The experience reminded me of how far we've come with DJ in a very short amount of time...and I am so incredibly grateful to God for the health of our son...
So, I took a picture! Which is really what you want huh? Does anybody even read my missives?
Here's one of DJ showing just how interested he is in our "WalkAmerica" story...LOL!
As you can see, he's into reading faces and expressions now. He is locked into Roxane as she chats him up..
