Start/Finish line at the Coliseum
Walking our 3 miles :)
Rhowan is like, "mom, why am I here around all these people so early and not in my swing?!"Saturday morning, I woke up at 6 am to go walk for Babies, The March of Dimes, which promotes healthy babies and supports families with pre mature born babies. It was a last minute thing we signed up for through our friend Jen, so my sister and I thought, what the heck, we've been wanting to do something to give back ever since we've read about Layla Grace. Although, this wasn't in support for her or her cause, I felt like I wanted and needed to get more involved. Anything to do with babies is so much more touching to me now that I am a mommy and I could never imagine going through some of the stories and things you hear. It was a great way to start off the morning...just a 3 mile walk, Rhowan slept half the walk, it only took us about 45 min., that's about 15 min. a mile, not bad for this being my first real exercise since Rhowan has been born. It made me want to do more walks/runs and had me telling myself that this summer I need to wake up and walk every morning while I am off! Let's just see if I can put those words into action! LOL. Anyway, just wanted to share some pictures with you.
I love that Rhowan had on a jogging suit as if she was going to get out and walk too!! Such a precious little diva, love it! I feel the same way you do sis about giving back and we have both been so blessed I feel there is a reason we came across Layla's story. It has made us both really wanting to find ways to help those not so fortunate and it is such a great feeling to do so. I'm going to start researching more events we can do becuase the feeling I had at the finish line was just too overwhelming for words..Love You
