"Team Lucy" participated in Step Out-Walk to Fight Diabetes on Sunday October 26th raising over $900. We had a really good time at COSI. November is Diabetes awareness month and there are 23.6 million children and adults in the United States, or 7.8% of the population, who have diabetes. While an estimated 17.9 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately, 5.7 million people (or nearly one quarter) are unaware that they have the disease. Most of you know I am affected by this disease and although you can live somewhat of a normal healthy lifestyle with it, it can be very complicating at times and the long term effects are really scary if you don't take care of yourself. Thank you to everyone who donated to this cause that means so much to my family and I to find a cure.
Carter will turn 4 on December 11th. So incredibly hard to believe. We had a surprise birthday party for him on Sunday the 7th. He asked for his party to be a surprise. We pulled it off because he was so genuinely surprised. After things calmed down he said "thanks for the party mom". That made it all worth it. When we got home all I wanted to do was clean because it had been a busy weekend but I couldn't resist playing with him when he asked. He had a really great day. Thanks to all of you that came to make it so special!
Luke being cheesy on the elephant.
Carter haning out on the stingray.
This is when we got home. Luke fell asleep before we left the parking lot.
