Race for the Cure 2010

This year almost my whole family participated in the Race for the Cure to support mom. She has come so far in the last year and we are so proud of her.

She commented that she was glad to be walking with us and not have us walking in memory of her. I could not agree more. Praise the Lord for healing.

Leila came along for the ride and did great in spite of missing her morning nap.

She and Papa even held hands for a while.

Jer was our only runner - and he set a new personal record of 23:13 for the 5k. Great job Jer!

This and That

This is Leila's blanket...we usually don't let her have it outside of her crib, but on days when molars are coming in, we sometimes make exceptions.

She just loves to suck on this blanket, it is rather odd I think, but she loves it. I have a hard time getting it into the wash and back to her before she needs to sleep again.

Here dada is reading Leila her bedtime books.

We have Leila's cousin Paige over today again, she loves to give her hugs and pat her on the head, although we discourage the patting, since she does not yet have a good sense of what "gentle" means.

Labor Day Truck Parade

After breakfast we went downtown for the truck parade

with Grandma, Grandpa,

Nana, and Papa.

The first truck was a Herman Miller. They all blasted their horns.

It was loud, but Leila refused to keep these on.

Jimmy Cracked Corn

Leila decided that corn is better when you eat it on the cob.

Yep, that's right.

I love this look! She is ready for more!

She ate that entire ear of corn!

A Day at the Park

I can't believe how old she is getting. She liked going on the jungle gym!

She absolutely LOVES the slide!

Again!

Hi Mama! I am going to go down head first! She had no fear.
