MS Walk 2009

The kids and I headed up to NOVA for the MS Walk April 26th. It was a hot day, but we had a great time and raised quite a bit of money. Thank you so much to everyone who donated, we greatly appreciate it!!

We AHR Family 2009 (Brian, Poppie, Liam, Jen, Tessa, Barb, Haley, Deb, Kylan, Ethan, Keira)

The cousins did a PSA, with Haley as the spokesperson

I'll spare everyone the long story about our adventures (i.e. broken down car), but I did want to say I have the BEST FAMILY EVER! Thank you to everyone who picked us up, dropped us off, fed us and/or chauffeured us numerous times! We love you all!!!

Visit to Sunset Beach

The kids and I took a road trip to visit Gramps and Grammy...and they took us to the aquarium and alligator farm. A great time was had by all, and the kids are really excited to go back again this summer. They both just love animals!

Day 1: Aquarium

Liam almost got to touch a sting ray...it went right under his hands, but he just wasn't tall enough to reach.
Touching the horseshoe crabsThe sting ray tank was really cool...my personal fav

Day 2: Alligator Farm
Keira is recently obsessed with turtles (I think it's because of a Dora episode she saw with "Turtle River" in it)...so she was so excited to get to touch a Galapagos turtle!

Keira came home and told Chris all about her trip...and that she got to pet an alligator. Chris said "Honey, I don't think you got to touch an alligator." But she had the photo to prove it!

Family Fun Day

Keira and Liam's old daycare had a Family Fun Day on April 18th. It was nice to go back and see their teachers and friends since their last day at school was April 10th (my last day of work too!). There were a few moon bounces, and it was Liam's first time on one. He was a little scared at first, but once he started jumping, we literally had to DRAG him out of there! Keira got her face painted...a pink butterfly over her eye. I was surprised it lasted through her nap...but unfortunately didn't last through Liam splashing in the bathtub! She was a good sport about it, but really wants to get her face done again.
