Saturday is a Special Day

This Saturday was a busy (and fun) one for us. The day started out with the vision walk. Justin's school is involved in a community fundraiser for the cure and research of eye blindness and disease. We got a free t-shirt and enjoyed a 2 mile stroll as a family. (Yes Justin's eyes are closed... and yes we are bundled up like it is winter; it's been down right chilly here the last little while)The walk was really at a really pretty park in Memphis.Me at the finish line. Yes we came in basically dead last, but seriously, I did it being nine months pregnant.... that is pretty good if you ask me. Later that afternoon my good friend Becky threw me a baby shower! She is so sweet and totally outdid herself! I'm so grateful for such good friends and their support. As everyone left I remembered that I had forgotten to take any pictures so I snapped these two quickies.Her food was AMAZING! I wish I would have gotten the picture before it was eaten... but oh well. Oh and she made the super cute diaper cake for me too! :)After the shower we headed to the school for the annual Eye 5k. This time Jackson and I just cheered from the sideline and Justin ran. He did GREAT... even beating his personal record! We hung around afterwards (in the FREEZING cold) and watched a lot of our friends get awards.... then headed home really feeling the effects of a LONG (but fun) Saturday.
