buddy walk

Today we headed to the DMACC campus in Ankeny for the annual "Buddy Walk." This is an event that raises awareness for people with Down syndrome. It's basically a mile-long trek around a pond where families and their friends show unity for the person they are supporting. We were blown away. Not only were there thousands of people at the event, but we had over twenty people (including kids) come out to support Cayla! 

The Crew: Diane/Andrew, Tim/Jill, Naomi, Josh/Jessie/Michael/Sam, 
Tait/Val/Claire/Ellie, Austin/Anne/Aren, Kyle/Gina/Abby/Caleb





Cayla crashes on Grandpa Tim yet again after the Walk

Thanks so much to everybody who came out to support us today! Cayla is blessed to be loved so well by all of you! We hope to invite even more Cayla supporters next year.

I am so jealous of Grandpa Tim! She looks so snuggly (and I know from experience that she is). What a great turnout! She is much loved and so very precious! Love you guys and miss you lots.
