Walk a thon

I always love going to help at Matayia's school. But what I love even more is that she wants me to come and help. Last week Deerfield Elememtary had their annual walk a thon to raise money for the PTA. I was lucky enough to be able to help. I stood in a row with other moms to mark off a lap each time one of the first graders came around. So I got to encourage Matayia each and every time she ran another lap. It was fun, but really cold that morning. They usually let the first graders go early so that they won't get too hot. This year it back fired, and it was a quite cold. Kaitlyn sat patiently in her chair swaddled in her blanket for the whole hour, she was too cold to even want to run around. But she never complained, what a trooper!!

It is so nice to get to know the kids Matayia gets to spend most of her days with.

Matayia is so cute - so photogenic. Look at her in all those poses with her friends, looks like they are teenagers or something - so used to posing. :) Cute pictures.
