This past Saturday was the annual Susan G Komen 5K Breast Cancer walk in Indianapolis. Like the last several years, we walked as a family once again. Our family keeps getting bigger and bigger. We walk to celebrate Ricky's mom's life and the many others who fight against cancer. Ricky's mom is now a 10 year survivor. We started the day bright and early. The weather was a little chilly, but at least it was not raining. Here we are waiting for the race to start among thousands of people.
For the past 2 years, we have walked with the Spenos family. Here are Savannah and Alana enjoying there rides. This year, we were unsure if we would get to walk with the Spenos family or not. If you see the picture below, you can slightly tell Amy is slightly pregnant. Ha Ha! The day of the walk was Saturday and her due date was the next Monday. No one could believe she was actually going to walk, but she was bound and determined to get her labor started. Sure enough, come to find out she delivered a beautiful baby girl, Lillian, the very next day. All that walking must have helped. On a side note, Amy and I have been friends since the 6th grade. We both were pregnant with Alana and Savannah at the same time and they are 6 weeks apart and this time around we were pregnant together once again. However, this time I had a boy and she had a girl, but ironically they are 6 weeks apart as well.
Savannah caught a ride on daddy's head for part of the walk. She would stroll some, walk some and then want carried for some.
I did not get a great picture of the kids shirts like I had intended to, but I kind of forgot. If you look closely Savannah's t-shirt says Find a Cure before I Grow BOOBS. I also ordered Austin one but since it was pretty chilly no one really got to see it. His said Save the BOOBIES. I thought these shirts were adorable and I will be sure to order another one next year as well.
Although the weather was nice, it could have been just a tiny bit warmer, maybe next year. We had a great time at the walk and cannot wait to walk again in another year.

Seriously, Semmlers...you are stunning me with all your outings with the little guy! He's so tiny and you guys aren't missing a stride! (just maybe some sleep) I hope I'm as "go get 'em" as you guys seem to be with two little ones!
