Our 3rd Annual March for Babies

We will be doing the March of Dimes March for Babies again this year. This year the march is on April 9, and we will march here in Phoenix. I'm guessing the weather will be great and not like the previous two years in Nebraska. The first year, there was a tornado watch and it was wet and sprinkling for half the walk. And last year, we "marched" at the Omaha walk which is held at Mahoney state park. It was SO windy and cold at first. Both times ended great though, and I was so glad I had done it and that my family took the day to do it with us!

This year, Joel will grow a mustache to raise awareness and to help raise money. We will continue with our goal of $211 in honor of Cohen's birth weight 2lbs, 11oz. Joel has always liked the idea of growing a mustache and his good friend Jay raises money for kids with cancer in an event called Mustaches for Kids. Because March of Dimes is the cause that is close to our hearts we decided to grow a mustache for it! We will post weekly pictures of Joel's mustache, until the day of the walk, when Joel will hopefully and willingfully shave it:^) The week one picture is soon to come, so stay tuned!

The mustache is at least raising awareness that Cohen was a preemie. Multiple folks at Copa have offerred to pay him to shave it off:)
