2nd Annual Cure SMA Run, Walk-n-Roll

Today, Mom, Aubrey, and I went to a fundraiser for Spinal Muscular Atrophy in Stephenville. Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the number one genetic killer of children under the age of two, is an often fatal disease that destroys the nerves controlling voluntary muscle movement, which affects crawling, walking, head and neck control, and even swallowing. Click HERE to learn more. We had a lot of fun and look forward to it next year. We walked (or rolled) for 2 miles and had lunch.

Seeing all the children was heart-breaking and inspiring at the same time. It truly makes you thankful to God for all the blessings that He has given us and that He continues to give us every day.

Aubrey had a blast. She was silent most of time. She was too busy looking at everything and taking it all in. This was her first race, and although she finished asleep, she did great.

Aubrey by Jean

Here are some pictures that Robbie's cousin Jean took about a month ago. I wish I had her talent or at least her camera.

New Blog!!

Ok, I've finally broken down and created a blog. I would like to use this to update our family and friends about our lives (ok, Aubrey's life). I also think it would be a great tool to keep a history of Aubrey's pictures.

Aubrey is 7 months old and it's amazing how fast time goes by. She is working on crawling right now. She gets up on her hands and knees and rocks back and forth. She can pull herself where she wants to go. Robbie and I are working on getting everything in our house organized because it won't be long before Aubrey's into everything.

Aubrey has also started to teethe really bad. I can now see 2 white spots on her lower gums. It won't be long before they start to come through.
