I am extremely happy about how wonderful our walk went today! We had a great time and awesome weather. I had been watching the weather report daily for the last 10 days and everyday was the same...50 degrees and rain. I went out and bought rain slickers for the kids and prepared for the worst. This morning when we woke up the first thing I did was peek out the window. You will never believe what I saw. SUN! God truly blessed our walk today.
For those of you that don't know, the March for Babies provides a victory van for the walkers that have a hard time completing the full walk. I am thrilled to say that even though there were 22 children on our team, we did not need to use that van. I have to admit that part of our group (me included) was the last ones to complete the walk but we did it! It was kind of funny because we had the victory van closely following us on the way back. We kept watching it get closer and closer until it was literally pushing us over the finish line! I had a great time but next year I plan to put my children (any myself) through a training program first!

Looks like a great day! Glad the weather turned out just for you guys. :)
Thought about you this morning (and missed your kids!). What a great time!!
I am so glad you had such great weather! I wanted to walk with you guys so bad! Maybe next year!! You're looking great, by the way.
What??? Jimmy even said it..."She blogged ALREADY?" Great job Jen! What a fun walk and a wonderful way to honor Timothy's life today. We had a wonderful time & think it was pretty cool that we were important enough to have a police escort following along behind us :) hee hee!
What a wonderful tribute to Timothy! I'm so glad the weather cooperated!
Great, Great, Great, Great, Great!!! Great weather, great friends and family, great job finishing, great remembrance of your precious little boy, great fund raising for a great cause! I'm so happy it all turned out so wonderful for you all!!! I love the pictures! Especially the one of Emma and Josiah, they have GOT to get married... :-)
I said a special prayer for the weather and am so glad God blessed this day! Awesome job finishing. This was such a special way to honor and remember Timothy and so many other precious babies. Way to go!
