March of Dimes - Dallas



Last week I went to Dallas to participate in a March of Dimes - March for Babies walk with my sister, Carmen. I haved decided to try and be positive and pro-active about Grace. I know that by doing these walks I can't bring Grace back, but I can help raise money for research to help someone else's baby! So this year I will be participating in 3 walks. My first was last weekend. It was a 5 mile walk. I drove to Dallas (took 7.5 hours!!! Abby is not a good traveler, had to keep stopping for her). On Saturday Carmen, TJ, Abby and I headed to the walk. It had been raining most of the week and I was concerned if they would hold the walk or not. Fortunately it was dry that morning and the walk was scheduled to go as planned! The ground was a bit muddy, but that was ok. We started the walk. I of coure brought a stroller for Abby because she is too small to walk. I was hoping TJ could handle the walk. Well... about half way through he decided he had walked enough, and Carmen and I were tired of carrying him on our backs. So we turned around. Will definately have to bring two strollers for the next walk going on here in Midland next weekend!!! Here are some pictures of Carmen and the kids before the walk.
