MS Walk

This weekend we went down to Medford to participate in the MS walk. Russell's uncle Allan was diagnosed with MS a few years back and raises money and participates in the walk every year. This year we were able to make it down to support him and walk with him! Russell's Grandma Zelia (aka Grandma Z) was also able to come up from Arizona to surprise Allan and walk with us all! (Grandma Z hadn't seen Blake since he was 2 months old)

 Allan was so surprised to see his mom!

And we're walking.... Blake only made it about half way through the walk. He was tired and hungry and just wouldn't fall asleep in the stroller. Thankfully we had to walk by the car so Russ and I stopped to change his diaper and give him a bottle. Then we put him in is sleep sack and turned on the portable sound machine and in a matter of seconds, he was out like a light...
Later saturday evening we had an early Easter dinner with the Russell's (almost) whole side of the family and my parents.

  1. That's so fun that Russell's grandma got to come out and surprise his uncle. I like all of the orange t-shirts on the walk.
