March for Babies

Today is the day we are hoping to walk in the March of Dimes 5K March for Babies, as part of Magdalena Roberts's team (http://noahandjulieroberts.blogspot.com/). We are hoping to, but the weather outside, as they say, is frightful. Lots of rain and lightning. But we've got the stroller all ready, and we're wearing our matching shirts, so we really ought to walk somewhere. Maybe we'll go to the mall and walk 5 kilometers in there. Lots of people do that anyway, we have found.


(Update Sunday, 4/25)
Okay, we did actually get to walk yesterday. The rain was fairly light for most of the walk, though it poured a couple of times. The weather was not nearly as bad as it was for Noah and Julie in Mississippi, where they canceled the whole walk. Tornados and such. Here, we just had some rain. James was comfortable in his covered stroller, and even went to sleep during the walk. He also got to play for a while in a school bus (he loves school buses) that had been converted to a mobile playground (he loves playgrounds as well) - it had gym mats, a slide, a little trampoline, and other fun things that kept James entertained and out of the rain for a while. We'll try to get the pictures from Grandma soon. And many thanks to all of you who sponsored us in the walk.
