It was a beautiful day for a walk...and D sat happily in his stroller and just enjoyed our 5K walk the entire time. We came to the hard realization that this will be the last year he'll fit (or want to fit) in the stroller we have so next year he'll have to walk or go have a playdate while we do the walk.
Here we are at the walk:
It's so inspiring to see SO many people (I estimated 300+) at our location's walk - and there were tons of others going on all around Chicagoland that day.
I quickly came to the realization of how lucky we are just to have eachother, bringing everything into perspective. So many teams had shirts in honor of babies who didn't make it. And it was so inspiring to see the teams of people/parents/friends/relatives who gathered together to walk for this cause and hopefully make a difference for someone else or for their future.
A HUGE thank you goes out to those of you donated or wished us well. It's always a great excuse for a good long walk along the river. The added bonus is that we were recognizing an amazing organization that is out to help babies and parents...and what greater cause can you ask for?
