Walk for the Whisper

This morning was Walk for the Whisper in Grapevine. Brynne and I really enjoyed it, and a few friends came out to jog the 5K with us. Donations will continue to be taken for awhile to support research for ovarian cancer. It was so great to see so many proactive people - trying to help find a cure, staying up with the research, and most important, praying for their family members!
Big thanks to Steve for pushing the jogging stroller for me!




You gotta laugh at this guy in his blue tights!! These are the faithful runners!


Brynne was pooped! It's hard work riding in that stroller and checking out all the action!

Running for the Whisper

In support of my mom and in hope of finding a cure for ovarian cancer, I'm running the Walk for the Whisper this weekend. You can click the link to donate for a cure. Pictures to follow!

Come On Aggies!!

Maybe it's because we haven't gotten our Aggie gear on yet...so today we decided to pull it out. Ha! Don't get my husband started on the coaching strategy!
Aggies - can you really look into this little girl's eyes and let her down again? Maybe manipulation will work.




OK mom - I've had enough of this!

Daddy's school was on the news this morning! Go Wolverines!

Bold Faith

God is faithful! So many have been praying boldly for mom to get surgery, and the doctors approved her yesterday to have surgery October 3rd! He is powerful and wants us to BELIEVE when we pray, and to pray BOLDLY!! Forgive us for all the times we pray without faith or don't believe in Your power. We were beginning to give up...but He hadn't!
Thanks God!
"..yet because of the man's boldness, he will get up and give him as much as he needs. So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you..."

Go Wolverines!

Daddy is in football season now - so we dress up in our orange and navy on fridays and head to the games! The kids you see below are all a few weeks apart. 3 of us coaches' wives sat together at the games last year, all about to "pop," talking about how different it would be this year when we all had little kiddos! Here we are....and yes, it's crazy!!!



This is Brynne with her uncle Brad at the game. Uncle Brad and Aunt Emily are bringing Brynne a cousin into the world!! (ETA - 3/31/08)



Go Wakeland Wolverines!! Go Daddy!




Brynne turned 9 months on friday! How come pregnancy seems forever, yet it seems not long ago at all that she was born? She is SO fun right now...every day I say is my favorite day so far.

Fun with friends

All the girls strike a pose!
This last weekend was my friend Tonya's bachelorette party in Austin. There are 8 of us girlfriends who became very close after spending all day together for 3 years in graduate school. Tonya and 2 of the girls went sky diving, while the rest of us kept our feet firmly planted on the ground!

Update

Thanks so much for the encouragement and prayers friends! Before I update, I'd like you to offer a word of encouragement to a girl in need. You can read her story at:

Mom was waiting for a PET scan result, which actually came out the way the surgeon wanted it to, but she still denied her surgery. Now mom is searching for new options - please pray for her guidance with that.
In the meantime, Brynne had a blast with her grandma 2 weekends ago, and a blast with the Allen family this last weekend. Happy Grandparents Day!
