This year my team raised close to $1,000. Much more than my initial estimates would have guessed. We were out at Forrester Acres in Smithfield this year. The track was .69 mile. We bought Sam some lap beads & had about 18 by the time we left (around 12 miles). Nash got to stay at the site with me this year. This was his first year getting to stay. I also had Brookelyn with me the whole time. Travis stayed for much more than I anticipated he would. He kept Caleb with him since Caleb had his tonsils & adenoids out the day before.
What the final lap looked like.
Caregiver garden:
Closing ceremony:
Balloon release (you should have heard the earful I got from a lady who felt that releasing balloons isn't an effective way to send our thoughts to heaven. Rather it's a littering event & should be given a $200 fine....)
Our team shirts (orange for Cindy & kidney cancer)
Getting balloons to release:
B slept quite a bit (much better than screaming, right?)
B had a pink onsie because they didn't have orange ones (boo).
I ask my husband to take 1 picture! I wanted a picture of grandma & Cindy when they walked by & this is what I get. Thanks dear...
Survivor lap:
Caleb watching Sam & Jade dance (after the 20 min. rain delay)
1 day I will get Amber on my team! She was diagnosed at 27 yrs old & just reached her 5 yr survivor mark! Way to go!!
How cute is this baby?

Glad you had fun at the Relay and were able to donate quite a bit! That is cool. These next few weeks I just have projects to get done before the baby gets here while I am Ryleeless. I just finished a minky quilt - all by myself! Then I have a few other things like car seat cover, receiving blankets, clean out closets, a little scrapbooking, etc.... The list never ends :)
