Buddy Walk

This year's Buddy Walk was last weekend. We knew we would not have the same size team we've had in years past because we honestly didn't get the word out until later, and we weren't as good about our invitations. Also, the Atlanta walk was moved to a Saturday (instead of it's usual Sunday), and that interfered with fall sports for many families. In the end, we were actually glad we did not have as big of a crowd because it was so so very hot!
Ruby and the kids had a blast though, hitting all of the cool spots throughout the day. She especially loved that one of her favorite older friends joined our family for the day and proudly carried the Ruby 'head'.
For the first hour or so, our only 'guests' were Ruby's Pre-K teacher and her daughter. This was SUCH great news for Ruby as she loves Miss Jennifer so much. She seriously stuck by her side the entire time she was at the walk. Right around the time she left, the rest of our team arrived. We hung out and enjoyed the free Waffle House and Kona Ice, and then took our little walk around the parking lot.
Lehr and I got to meet a new family, who ended up joining us at our tent. I got to see so many of my friends from Gigi's and from my tribe, and we loved sharing it all with our typical friends that came out to support. We are so so grateful for all of you in our lives!
