March for Babies

Overall we had a good day at the March of dimes yesterday, despite the chilly weather the walk was a success. My parents, Mina, uncle Khosro & my father and mother in-law and our friends Natalie joined us for the walk. Kids took turn sitting in the wagen, but when the wind took off my Dad and I were hugging them. Matthew walk almost half way this year, I think he was discouraged by the weather. Afterwards, we had a few hotdogs and then except for uncle Khosro, everyone else met back at our place. Linnet made lentens soup the night before and we each had a cup of the warm soup with some lunch meat sandwiches. Later on we had strawberry shortcake and tea for desert, in honor of my father-in-law's birthday. So far, kids are well and didn't catch a cold from our walk yesterday.

March of Dimes

Past Sunday, my Mom and Mina joined us in the walk for babies or better known as March of Dimes. The event was sponsored by Nicor and few other businesses. We walked for more than 6 miles that took us over two hours, but I hardly broke a sweat. Matthew walked the whole time and I told him how proud I was that he could finish the walk by himself. I could tell that he enjoyed walking with Mina and my Mom. I suppose walking with a few hundred people, helped him stay focus. Nathan walked part of the way, but he mostly sat with Maya on the strollers we brought with us.
Maya was able to eat while we walked, but didn't take a nap until we got to our car. We finished the event with eating hot dogs, getting baloon sword and jumping in a dragon! Overall, it was a fun activity and I sure was happy this year it didn't rain.
