Rock the Walk!

Today was our JDRF "Rock the Walk" to raise money and awareness for Juvenile Diabetes Research. Thank you SO MUCH to those who donated money and came to the walk and were so supportive! We had a great time! And I am so glad it is over. For reasons I am not really sure of, the preparation for it really stressed me out. It was fun to see the carb counts of the food posted for all to see - no SWAGing needed! We also saw a couple of kids on the side of the path getting a BG check and it was so nice to not be the only ones doing these things for once!

Honorable mentions go to my sister-in-law, Sachele, who is due to give birth in two weeks and came on the walk with us. Also to my friend, Wendy, who is 5 months pregnant and hosting a big birthday party for her cute daughter, Olivia (pictured with Emma below)later today! It was a good thing I had my sunglasses with me today because I teared up the second we arrived and continued pretty much the rest of the time we were there...







These guys really got into the theme...rock the walk.


Emma riding in the stroller after a BG of 57...so much walking and jumping in a bounce house will do that to a girl! Note the Starburst on the tray in front of her...those suckers are a low blood glucose dream: individually wrapped and a tidy 4 grams of carbs each.
