Hup 2, 3, 4 --- Come on Soldiers March!










For over a year now, we've tried our best to create a fun routine for the kids at bedtime. At around 8-8:30, I start to clap my hands and say, "Hup, 2, 3, 4, come on soldiers, march, march, march!" They love to march through the living room and lift those little legs as high as they can go.
Well, today we walked the March of Dimes as a family. Hup 2, 3, 4 in an unseasonal 86-90 degree weather...UGH. We did it though. We were one of the last teams to arrive, but we made it through, just like these little guys did for us over 2 years ago now. 
As we walked I remembered all of my friends and family and special children in my life as well as those 4 weeks that Mark and Maria spent in the NICU. We are so very lucky to have these 2. They are the greatest joy you could ever hope for in life. (We were also kinda thankful that we didn't have triplets, that stroller was heavy enough! lol) 
We can't thank you enough for all the donations we received.
