Thanks for your support!

We'd like to officially thank everyone who sponsored us in our March for Babies today. We raised $400, and Team Squeaks collectively raised $1,200 for this great cause. We couldn't help but be reminded of just how lucky we are to have had a full-term, healthy baby. It was amazing to see all the family teams wearing t-shirts proudly displaying their successes in facing tough challenges (one baby girl born at 29 weeks, another born weighing just 2 lbs 2 oz., etc.). Sounds cliché, but we are so incredibly blessed.

We had a great walk. It was in the mid-50s and cloudy, and the showers that had been forecast stayed away. I must say - downtown Hartford is quite nice on a Sunday morning. Then again, maybe that's the effect of the honey dipped donut from Dunker that I had before we set out on the walk....

Matthew did great. He was awake for half of the walk, enjoying the sights and the fresh air, and then took a nice snooze. We stopped off for a quick ride for Abby on the Carousel in Bushnell Park - so cute! Next year we'll have to get Matthew on there. We capped off the walk with a quick stop for beverages at the Starbucks we passed toward the end - a perfect ending in my book.

Here are a few pictures - thanks again for your support!!

Why didn't you post the pictures you took during the second mile when Dennis kicked Matthew out of the stroller and made us take turns pushing him?
