March for Babies

This morning was the March of Dimes March for Babies walk.  Thank you so much to everyone that donated to such a great cause!  We did reach our goal set of $500, by raising $525.  There were SO many people at Easton for the walk.  It was a three mile walk.  There must have been some 50,000 people and pretty much everyone had a stroller, wagon, or some other child-carrying device.  There were posters and signs around everywhere with success stories of babies born prematurely.  It was so heart touching to see and read them.  Stories and photos of babies all the way from 23 weeks, weighing only 1lb or even less.  Seriously amazing.  I teared up a couple times, but held it together since we were with some friends of ours most of the time :)  Our girls are truly amazing and we are so incredibly blessed.  I realized that even more today! 

Walking for Hailee and Hannah!

The babies were in the stroller sitting behind Ella, you just can't see them :)

Ella was pretty excited about all the snacks they had for kids!  Oh, and she loved the balloons too!

H&H liked the snacks too!

Just an idea of all the crowds...

Hailee was ready to start walking already!

Everyone let their balloons go at once before the walk.  Well, not Ella.  She held on to hers for a while ;)
