The Amelia Center Walk/Run

This is a group picture of our team that walked/ran in memory of Amelia!

The Baby Steps 5k Run/Walk was a huge success. The organizers of this event I am sure spent many hours organizing this event. It was such a blessing to have so many family members and friends join us as we walked to raise money for The Amelia Center. The families that organized the event said they were anticipating around 75 attendees and they had over 400. This is a huge turn-out for the first year. I am so excited to know that they were able to get this many people involved to raise a huge amount of money for the place that we all hold dear to us.

Misty and I are so appreciative of all of the prayers and support that people are still offering. This is still very prevalent in our lives. We have had some ups and downs as we go but knowing that so many people are STILL praying for us has helped. This week brought about another challenge for us as September 1, 2009 was the original due date that the Doctors had given us. But as everyone has said these days will come and go. We also have Ben to always keep us entertained. This week Misty got out some stuffed animals to give to him and there was a little black kitten. She said he looks like Oliver, a cat we had that died last year. She asked Ben if he thought that Oliver and Amelia were up in Heaven playing. He responded "she was probably pulling his tail because that is what babies do!" What a cute thought for the adults to think about. Sweet Amelia and Oliver up in Heaven running around and having fun.

We have planned our trip to Disney for a weekend. Ben is beside himself that he is getting to go meet the seven dwarfs. I think this will be a great time for us to have fun and be together as a family. Also please pray for Misty as she gets ready to go back to work in a couple of weeks.
