Babies

Last weekend we spent our Saturday morning walking in the March of Dimes Walk for Babies.  The Credit Union has a big group that walks every year, and they raise a lot of money for the March of Dimes.  Derek's department had a State/Carolina dime war this year.  His department is split - the girls went to Carolina and the boys went to State.  They got donations from co-workers all around the operations center.  The team who raised the most money won.  The losers had to wear and support the winning team the whole week after the walk.  Well, the Wolfpack represented and State won!!  So the boys harassed the girls all week.  They took in every single piece of Wolfpack paraphernalia they own and decorated the girls' offices.  Derek even took our huge framed picture off the wall at our house and hung it up on his boss' wall in place of her Carolina framed picture.  I think the boys enjoyed their victory.

Back to the walk, though.  We got to see lots of friendly faces we hadn't seen in a while since Derek left his branch last year for the operations center.  Many of his old co-workers were expecting babies around the same time Joshua was born, so we got to see some of those babies.  My how all of our children have grown!

Walking this year seemed to take on a whole new meaning since we now have a baby.  I am so very thankful that Joshua is healthy and happy.  Thank you Lord for that!
