A Visit From Uncle Matthew

My baby brother Matthew came to visit us last month. Well he is not a baby, he is 25 :) He was here for a few days and then my soon to be sister in law flew up too. They are getting married on April 27, 2013. I am so excited for them. Emily, Mason, Brent & I are all in the wedding. We just chilled out while he was here and spent great family time together! I loved it. I wish they lived closer.

2012 Apraxia Walk

The 2012 Greater Cleveland Area's Walk & Run for Childhood Apraxia was on Sunday, September 30th. This is my 2nd year coordiating the walk. This year was a little more stressful because everything we have been dealing with with Mason but we pulled it off! We had over 300 walkers and 65 runners and raised over $25,000 for Childhood Apraxia foundation CASANA! We celebrated 13 kids with Apraxia ranging from 3-9 years old. They are all so sweet. I love meeting the kids and their families. It so nice to meet people who know what you are going through. I am so passionate about this cause obviously because of Mason. I will keep raising awarness and fighting for Mason and kids just like him!

The Pumpkin Patch

We took our annual trip to Burnnam's Orchard this past week. We have been going there every year for the past 7 years! The first time we went Emily was only 4 months old :). They have the best set up there. There is a huge pumpkin patch and apple orchard where you pick your own pumpkins and apples. The kids have the best time! It is a awesome family tradition! I LOVE fall!!!
