Birthday Fun

Tyler had a fun filled day at Emily's 2nd birthday party this past weekend. Despite relatively cool and gloomy weather the rain never came and we all enjoyed a great day. The theme was Sesame Street and everyone was to dress up in the color of their favorite Sesame Street character. Tyler currently loves cookie monster so blue it was. I had planned on royal blue because in my mind that was what color cookie is. However, when I did research (i.e. when I got around to pullnig out the cookie monster doll we have and putting it next to his shirt) I realized I was way off. He's actually a teal color. So, off to the store we went. I ended up matching perfectly and it worked out well because there were balloons at the party in all of the sesame street colors.











Elmo made an appearance and Tyler was in heaven. I thought he would be scared or tentative but he couldn't stop jumping and touching Elmo.

March for Babies

We completed the March of Dimes annual March for Babies recently. It was a nicely paced 5 mile walk around town. Friends of ours (Emily and her parents in the pic) had a baby girl at 24 weeks (15 weeks too soon!) and have been involved with March of Dimes since then. Thankfully Emily is fine but there are so many premies who aren't so lucky.

You notice Jeff and Bobby ready to go with strollers--but where are the kids?

We had over 20 people (and one dog) who walked on team Emily Grace and raised over 16,000 dollars. Kristin made camo t-shirts for all of us as "Emily's Envoy". It was a really fun day despite the cold and rainy weather.
