mda walk

back at the end of march we walked with our friends heather & brian's team "warm hearted walkers" in the muscular dystrophy walk again. i raffled off another portrait session & we raised several hundred dollars! the highest bidder is my good friend kate, who is waiting to use the session for when their beautiful adopted child from ethiopia is in their arms!

heather teasing finn pre-walk. we don't use the stroller all that much anymore so i wasn't sure how he was going to do in it, but he did great. very patient & attentive to all the people. this day is always emotional, for me at least, watching all the children in wheel chairs or kids sitting in their parents wheel chairs as we walk around tempe town lake. but it's a wonderful cause & hopefully one day very soon we'll find a cause/cure!

after the festival we did some more walking around the tempe arts festival. this was one tired mama. so i was happy that finn wanted to relax and read some books.
then after heather & brian were done walking around the festival they joined us for some yummy charcoal grilled hamburgers. but first some rough housing with heather in the card board house.
& then some bike riding & chalk drawing outside.
daddy attacking finn with the whatchamathingers.

& then after we put finn to bed, we celebrated earth hour, where cities across the world were turning off all electricity for one hour. so we unplugged everything & lit some candles. lovely.

it twas a busy day.

That was a very fun day. Thank you again for helping to support the MDA. I too hope some day they can find a cure for all the different forms of Muscle Dystrophy.
