Squeakquel

We took Nathan to his first movie. We saw Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. Nathan was amazed the whole time. The first 15 minutes of the movie he was leaning forward in his chair. He loved it and can't wait to go back to see another movie.

He has his movie ticket.


Looking for the right theater.


Getting settled in his seat.
(Thank you Aunt Kathy . . . the booster seat worked out great!)


Waiting for his movie to start.

Please Sponsor Us for March for Babies 2010


Hello Friends and Family-

It’s time again for March for Babies 2010 – April 17th! This is our 4th year to walk in the March for Babies benefitting the March of Dimes. We walk to raise money to prevent other parents from going through what our family has.

Our son, Nathan, was born 3 months premature on August 27th, 2006. He wasn't due until mid November and there I was at the end of August delivering him weighing just 2 pounds, 4 ounces. It was the scariest day of our lives.

We wouldn’t wish this feeling on anyone. The March of Dimes funds research to help find reasons for premature birth, prevent birth defects, and to reduce rates of infant mortality.

We're very happy to say that after two long months in the NICU, Nathan finally came home with us and is a very happy energetic 3 year old. The surfactant he received in the hospital to help him breathe was a direct result of research done by the March of Dimes. They continue to find ways to keep preemies alive and prevent preterm birth from happening.

This is why we walk…to prevent other parents from walking in our shoes. If you would like to support us in this effort, click HERE and you can donate towards our walk. Every donation helps . . . even just a dime!

Your donations are truly appreciated!
