Walk for cancer

Last weekend, the family braved the weather and participated in the Breast Cancer Walk in Concord, NH. It was cold to start the 5 mile walk but as we started walking the weather turned to rain and then snow. It was tough going but we know that it is for a good cause and SO important to brave the elements for those fighting cancer and for those that have lost their lives. It was an emotional day.

I am so proud of the kids for doing all 5 miles. They were pretty cold half way through but they pressed on. There were very few children who did the whole walk, so for them to do it was pretty impressive.

Here is my favorite picture each year. The sea of walkers moving up Clinton Street. It is always an amazing sight. I would say that we were in the middle at this point so you can imagine how many people were also behind us. They all came out to brave the weather and walk.

No more training wheels

Lillian woke up this morning and told me she had a dream that she rode her bike without her training wheels. She then asked if she could try that today. I instantly thought of just two months ago..the last time she rode her bike, when she screamed and dropped her bike when it would tip a little. She asked again after lunch and being a sunny Sunday we decided why not? David held onto the back of her bike and ran with her a bit. He let go and then she was off. She was doing it by herself and loving it. It is amazing to me the power this wonderful 6 year old has. She just decided it was time and did it. I am SO proud of her.
