For Heidi

All day long I am doing things for Brady, but I really can't do much for Heidi. I wish I could do more for her. There are 2 things right now I am doing to honor her. First, I am trying to raise at least $200 for the March of Dimes. I am always going to be affected when I hear of someone delivering their baby really early or having pregnancy problems. I understand what pain they are feeling, so, I decided I might as well support the cause. If you feel so inclined to help me out, you can make a donation here:

The second thing we are doing to remember Heidi is the Running with Angels 5K again. Last year after we did it, some of you said you would have run it if you knew about it. This year, it is on May 21 at Thanksgiving Point. We would love for people to join our little family in running it! Let me know if you sign up. We are planning on ordering bracelets, so we will get you one, too! The proceeds from this race go to a program called Angel Watch that provides support to families who know while they are pregnant that their baby will not be able to make it. Sign up for the race here:

Thanks for supporting us!

Hi Laura, thanks for commenting on my blog the other day. Hope all is well in your home. I like your cute posts about Brady. He is growing up too fast. It goes by so quickly. In no time, he will be turning one and walking...oh boy. I love the post about the socks. WE have the same problem in our house, but luckily we have a lot of mixed match black socks. So, at least they are the same color. As far as Syd's socks go, it is always a challenge to find the mate. Ha ha. Good luck. Take care
