Giving Back

This Saturday Olivia, Joseph, and I participated in the March for Dimes. We had Grandma Dressler, Jim, Aunt Kelly, and Uncle Rick on our team. We marched 3.1 miles and raised about $850. Our original goal was $500, but we were able to surpass our goal.

This was such an inspirational event! It was so nice to meet families with preemies and be able to relate to their stories. It was also very sad because we met families whose preemies did not survive.

It was a beautiful day for the walk. The sun was out, it was about 82 degrees, and the wind was blowing. Olivia and Joseph really enjoyed it. They got so relaxed, they both took a nap during the walk.

Jason and I have always talked about giving back to the charities that have supported St. John's Hospital (where Joseph was) and who have helped families like us financially. I felt that we should participate in the March this weekend in honor of Joseph's first birthday!

We would like to extend a BIG thank you to all of our family and friends who have supported us this past year and who donated money for the walk!

We are so blessed!
