Dash for Donation 2011

We had a great time at the Dash this year. It is amazing how things have changed since January 15th 2008. The twins have arrived and turned two, Ryan and Leslie welcomed Mara into their family and C is three and three quarters! Kids sure do put life and time in perspective. Unfortunately we missed out on the team shot, but I did get some pictures.








Papa and Gram D in the back, Daddy pulling Grady, Papa Moustache up front and Patty, C and Christina in the mix!
Our newest team members were Amy, Dan, Sam and Grace!
















Gwen and Grandma started our pace, but 1k was too much for Gwen! C started in the stroller, but ended up running the 1k with Christina. I am pretty sure he will be a runner just like Daddy!







Gwen got a medal!







Gwen let Aunt CC borrow her medal.








Walking on the ledge with Grandma!
















This picture is exactly why you should be an organ donor. Neal's life went from hospital beds, dialysis units, blood clots, tongue bites, medically enduced comas, sets, surgeries to something we never would have imagined!









After the Dash we headed over to the splash park!









Wish I could have gotten a shot of the fountain turning on and getting Papa!









Grace enjoying the fountain! Sam was on the move the whole time, so I do not have any clear shots of him!



The picture of a perfect and exhausting day!
