So in addition to the mother's day festivities last weekend, we did a lot of other fun stuff too.
Jeff and Jenny came over and we had a "seafood bonanza" dinner --- spicy shrimp, beer battered blue gill, sweat potato fries and a big salad. It was delicious!
Saturday we had the March of Dimes walk here in Madison. Dean was a big sponsor of the event so I was working, but Patrick brought James down so we could show our support and help raise awareness and funds so that one day, all babies are born healthy!
This is my partner in crime at St. Mary's - Stephanie.
This year the walkers all were given a lei to represent the baby/babies they were walking for.
Purple = walking in honor of a premature baby
Green = walking in honor of a healthy baby
Yellow = walking in honor of a baby born with a birth defect
White = walking in memory of a baby
We all proudly wore our green leis --- James especailly liked his lei!
Despite the cloudy/chilly weather --- we had a good time!
And back at home, we even found ways for James to help with some chores around the house...
Helping Daddy in his work shop
Helping mommy clean the closet!
And how fortunate and blessed are we all that you were able to wear the color green!
