SATURDAY
Saturday was the Little Miracles 5k & Family Fest at Silver Lake Park put on by Our Miracle Babies. Since I am on the board of directors it was an extremely busy week getting ready for the big day. I was up at 3am to get down to the park to finish setting up that morning after being at the park all evening. We had fantastic weather for the day and it was a HUGE success!! Tyler brought the boys down and along with my brother Jamison and countless friends we've met in the NICU and preemie community, we walked the 5k. Ok, Ok....we walked MOST of the 5k. We cut it short a bit since Easton had to go potty, but we were there nonetheless. Jamison's wife, Whitney and her mom ran the 5k and walked back to meet up with us after they were done. The event had games for kids, a basket raffle, lunch by Famous Dave's and lots of good friends and fun!
There was a balloon launch to remember all of the babies who have grown their angel wings. Very emotional.

And someone just had too much fun! Charlie couldn't make it another second and wanted to snuggle with Pa.
Melts my heart :)
SUNDAY
Today we met up with our preemie friends again and went to the NICU Reunion hosted by the Mayo Clinic. At the reunion we saw many of the nurses who cared for the boys and one of the neonatologists. We saw lots of friends we met in the NICU including families from Wisconsin and Iowa and some who live in town. It was such a great weekend to spend with those who have walked the same halls as we have and understand the struggles we've been through.
