GiGi's Playhouse 5K Weekend

This past weekend was a blast!  Parker was once again spoiled with company.  Every time this happens, I envision him dipping a bucket, and filling it with all of the love, energy, and support of those around him to help him get through all of the hard work he has to do to progress and get stronger.  I can see it in him every day...he is such a source of strength, motivation, and admiration for Matt and I.  

Friday was my last day of work for the summer...and anyone who knows me understands how much I have been looking forward to this.  My goal is to not let me apprehension about it being over spoil any of the fun moments we have planned.  It still hasn't sunk in yet!

Saturday, we had a packed day! We went to GiGi's Playhouse for the June therapeutic play groups we love so much.  As always, PT Cathy and DT Pam gave us so many great things to think about and work on with P.  We love getting to see everyone each month, and watch them all grow up and succeed together.  After that, we met Auntie Mallory and Jaimee for lunch at Mago Grill --and happened to walk through an Art event on the way.  I had a margarita fresa, got to relax, and catch up!  Our next Saturday activity was looking at houses.  We went back for a 2nd visit to the house we really like...and are hoping to put an offer on it as a few more things fall into place.  We are hoping it doesn't get snatched out from under us.  Our last Saturday activity was dinner with the MacCarthy's! We so love getting to hang out with Auntie Michelle, Uncle Sean, Michaela and Finn.  I love watching Michaela --2 year olds are inadvertently hilarious and adorable.  My favorite is when she comes around to give everyone hugs and kisses!

The main event was Sunday! We were stunned at how many people go to the GiGi's Playhouse 5K.  I loved that there were activities and events for everyone.  We had a sign for "Team PARKER" and blue leis for everyone to wear --which turned out to be handy for times during the walk when we all got separated.  Parker was a champ, and slept through the whole walk.  We got a great photo of all of the strollers lined up of his baby friends!  It was so much fun, and we have high goals and fun ideas for next year.  I can't thank our team --participants and contributors -- enough for coming to love on and fight for my baby boy.  We ended the day with Buffalo Wild Wings with the Aunties, significant others, and friends. 


Today, I am filled with such appreciation for all of the people in our lives who continue to overwhelm us with their support.
