If you are not familiar with March of Dimes, it is an organization designed to help prevent premature births and to help those babies that are born prematurely. While Abby Grace was a full-term healthy baby, I feel strongly that this is one of those organizations worth supporting.
Just yesterday, while we were at the doctor's office, I was visiting with a mother with a tiny baby in an infant carrier. As always, I commented on how sweet and cute she was (I have learned that you can never receive too many compliments on your baby!). The mother then volunteered the information that her daughter was a preemie, just under 2 pounds when she was born, and is now a year old. I assumed this little girl was probably 3-4 months old when I first noticed her. While her limbs were like toothpicks and she is technically behind developmentally, she is generally healthy. What a miracle!
Jeremy, Abby, and I have decided to participate in the March of Dimes Walk (WalkAmerica) in Amarillo this Saturday. I always walked with my school when we lived in Midland and feel that it is something I should keep doing. Plus, I would like to teach Abby the importance of helping other people. If you would like to contribute to March of Dimes, even just $5, through sponsoring us, please go to the following link:
www.walkamerica.org/lkmueller. This is my personal website through March of Dimes in which contributions can be made. Our goal is small, only $100, but remember the walk is in a short 3 days. If not, that is definitely okay. I understand that everybody has their personal favorite charities; this just happens to be one of mine.
The River Road Wildcats won district tonight with an overall record of 4-2 in district. The guys (coaches included) were super excited. The second picture is a really sweet one. If you look closely, you can see Abby in her daddy's arms during the team prayer. Usually, she is fighting to get down, but tonight she was already in her pajamas and ready for bed so was happy to be held. WAY TO GO CATS!
Yippee! Do we get to follow Doppler Dave?
Our friends, Jamie and Kevin, and their sweet little boy Kolton came to visit Friday evening. We had every intention of taking the kids picture together when they were still dressed, but obviously forgot until they were both asleep and Jamie and Kevin were leaving. Oh well, sleeping babies are sweet also.
The River Road Wildcats are sitting in first in district right now. Abby enjoys going to the games and cheering for the players, but she especially loves going out on the field with her daddy after the game. If you can't tell she is holding a baseball bat in this picture.
What's this? It wasn't supposed to snow on my birthday.
