My favorite time of year is here! Last weekend was a really great weekend. As I mentioned in my post from last week, we spent Saturday morning doing the ALS walk. The Friday night before, I got to see my friend, Nicki, and her daughter, Leah, for a play date. I had not seen Nicki in such a long time, and I had never met her daughter, who is now 2. Andrew and Leah had so much fun together, and Nicki and I had a good chance to talk and catch up.
Later in the day on Saturday, we made our first trip out to the apple orchard. Andrew had actually already been to the apple orchard on a field trip from the week before, so he was pretty excited to play again and eat some more donuts.
On Sunday afternoon, we met Tammy and her kids out at the pumpkin patch after meeting Mike's parents for breakfast.
I also caught him doing a little dance while we there. He loves to dance!
On Saturday morning, we participated in a walk for ALS, which was actually right by our house. Tammy, Peyton, and Kathie also were there for support! The walk was the first of its kind in Rockford, and they had about 400 people and raised almost $50,000! Since ALS is so rare, it felt comforting to be around so many other people that understood, as their family members or friends have also been affected by the disease in some way.
Andrew was back in Raptor Tots this summer, and he could not get enough soccer in his life. He was ready to go every Saturday morning 2 hours before class even started. We had to tell him that coach and the other kids were not there yet, so we have to wait!
