National Brain Tumor Society Walk

Last week we traveled to Tempe for the annual Brain Tumor Foundation Walk to support the Jaydie Lynn King Foundation. It was held at Kiwanis Park which is such an incredible place, but this year was under construction. They had a wonderful turnout and there were lots of red Jaydie shirts to be seen. Cami King carried little Jeffry for nearly the entire walk while Jake enjoyed a ride in his Radio Flyer Wagon. The weather was good and everyone seemed to have a good time. Here are some pics.

Playing in the backyard

Here are a few pics from the backyard swinging and having fun. Jeffry is beginning to become very mobile (while in his walker) and scooting around on the floor when he can get his belly up off the carpet. Halloween was fun although somewhat uneventful. Jake does not like costumes and required some coaxing to get him outside. We moved our patio furniture to our driveway and sat around a nice fire with our neighbors and their kids. We only saw about 30 kids in costumes all evening and I was pretty disapointed at how many 8-12 year-olds were being driven from cul-de-sac to cul-de-sac by their parents to go trick-or-treating. Isn't there something to be said for actually walking awhile to "earn" the candy and maybe burn a few calories before they inundate themselves with Snickers and Smartees? We're looking forward to the holiday season and all the joy it brings.
