Fun with Kate






We have taken Kate to some fun new places lately. I'm so glad she is finally getting old enough to go places that she can enjoy instead of us just dragging her around with us when we go where we need to. We went to a nearby farm/petting zoo and she had so much fun petting the animals, especially the dwarf goats! They were so cute! Then I took her to the children's museum with some friends from church. The kiddos are a little too young to enjoy the whole museum, but there was a special toddler section that they LOVED. But beware, the cafeteria doesn't have high chairs. Why on earth wouldn't a children's museum have high chairs? Oh well. And this past Saturday we walked in the Race for the Cure. This was Kate's second Race for the Cure, but she was asleep the whole time for the first one. I got pretty emotional near the end because they have a special section for survivors to walk to go across the finish line. I was just thinking how much I wished my mom could walk that section. But it was great to see all the survivors walk it!

Oh Nicole, what a sweet post. I love that you walk every year for your mom. I know she is smiling down on you every day! What darling pictures of Kate, she is so cute with the goats. Don't you love when they really start to have fun??? You just wait, it gets better and better. You are a darling mother.

It looks like Kate is just about to take off walking by herself.

I think it is so neat that you walk in the Race for the Cure every year. I'm sure it's very hard for you when you complete the walk and have those tender feelings about your mom. It's very special Kate can do it with you. In fact, Kate has walked with her grandmother on many walks before. May you and Kate continue to have this special bond and link with your mother.
