We had a wonderful weekend with family and friends raising money and walking to help find a cure for diabetes. Sorry for the picture overload. . . I couldn't narrow them down! :-)
We got to the cities around 8 o'clock Friday night. We had just enough time to get a quick swim in before heading to bed to get ready for our big day!

Can you tell we love this little man?!?! :-)
We were not very good walkers. We kept stopping to take it all in. There were SO many people who's lives have been affected by diabetes. It was very moving to see everyone there for the same reason. . . wanting and needing a CURE!
This last picture of the walk says it all! "THANK YOU" to everyone who helped our team raise $3,276.00. It is simply amazing the love and support we got from our friends and families. To know you care and want a cure as much as we do means the world to us! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! We didn't ask for this life and never dreamed this life would find us, but we feel comfort in knowing we are doing everything we can to help Little E and the other children/people that are affected by diabetes!!!
After the walk we headed to the Aquarium at the mall.
Then went on a couple rides.
And Miss E got her Birthday Dollie. It was hard to tell who was more excited, Miss E or Grandma?!?!? :-)
Finally back to the hotel. Little Brother didn't even make it out of the parking ramp at the mall and he was out!

I am so happy that your family had a great weekend. It looks you all had fun. I had chills and goosebumps throughout your entire post. So many memories and precious photos. Little E is so blessed to be born into a family that loves him so very much and will do anything to find a cure.
