Busy Weekend

(prayer request is below the Race pictures)

We had a very busy weekend.

Starting on Friday, we joined up with a family at church that we are very close to for a garage sale. It was perfect. They didn't have little ones and we did, so we covered every possible garage sale type of item. We sold just about everything we put out there and made a good amount. I was giddy with how well we did. I have to admit it was weird to see people paw through my precious baby clothes, but we accomplished what we set out to do, AND, our friends did AMAZING and made a gob of money. What a success!

Saturday was by far our busiest day. We attempted the Komen Race for the Cure with the girls. We decided ahead of time that the 5K probably wasn't the best idea unless we wanted to carry Abby for 3 miles. Instead we did the 1 miles Family Walk, which was perfect. We walked with (different) friends from church, which made it even more fun.

After the race, I asked Abby what her favorite part was... she said she liked the food afterward the best. Kroger sponsors it and you get a snack bag with a banana, apple, granola bar, cheese and crackers, and a water bottle in it. She was all over it.

The fresh air and walking was just too much for our littlest "walkers."

It is hard to tell, but those are walkers stretched out far, far in front of us. The pure number of people who support this is amazing.

~This year, the walk has a little more meaning in it for us because we just found out about someone at church who is in her 30's with a little boy who was diagnosed with advanced cancer the day before the race. It started out as terrible back pain, and now she is starting the fight of her lifetime. The cancer is in her liver, hip bones, and she is having a biopsy done on her breast today, but isn't optimistic about those results. She is determined to fight this, but it seems as though the cancer is everywhere. Also, her son is about 5 (I think) and has some special needs, so he thrives on routine which most surely will be disrupted some. Please pray for Rachel, her family, and all of the doctors and nurses that are treating her. ~

Believe it or not, we had a commitment after the Race... Bowling with our Fusion church group. We had tons of fun hanging out. And, guess what???? I won on our lane! I beat Matt which I think I should rub in for a while.

Now, we are in the process of gearing up for another busy week. Matt has a business trip this week, Abby has Kindergarten testing, Grandparents Day at Preschool, and more... I seriously need to clean my bathrooms/house before my Mom gets here. Yuck. Need good cleaning music, any suggestions?
