Gigi's Soccer Game and The Answers for Autism Walk

 It is so much fun each Saturday morning to watch Gigi play soccer.  She is doing great this year.

 Then we were off to the Autism Walk.  This is our 2nd year to participate.  
 The kids love the bounce houses


 I love my babies
 The balloon release represent each child affected by Autism.  

 At the end of the walk the kids love playing on these beautiful rolling hills.


 And of course Gigi had to get her face painted.
 Each child got one of these balloon guitars.
Visit Andrea's blog at thegambrel4.blogspot.com for some shocking results of Autism.  
We love you Addi and are so proud of you.

A fun night at the condo







We always have fun when we all get together.  Lainey was having a great time with Uncle Claude running and jumping in his arms.  If he got up she pounded on the chair for him to sit back down.  Molly and Gigi were never see but always heard while playing in the bedroom.  Addi had so much fun playing with the girls part of the time and sitting on the balcony the rest of the time.   Food was good and company was better.

MUGG SWAP 2012

 I loved coming home to my fun new mug and Starbucks gift card which I was so excited when I got my first cheese danish in years.  It was heavenly.  


Thank you so much Steph!   Such a sweet note and I loved the cup.  And as you can see it matches my kitchen
perfectly. 
 This is the mug that I sent!  
I had so much fun doing this.  I think it was a great idea.  It inspired me and some others to start a swap.  Look for my swap in October!!
Thanks @cuppakim for doing this.
I'm linking up with www.acuppakim.com.
