Happy Mother’s Day to You and Yours!
I hope you were able to spend some time with loved ones today, in person, on the phone, or in your hearts.
We enjoyed some blustery then beautiful spring weather. My softball team dropped its first game Friday night, not for lack of cheering from the shortest Wallaces. On Saturday, Zach and Scott made great headway on the transition of our garden (a.k.a. “the dirt pit”) into a kid play area, and Olivia and I trimmed a big ol’ juniper bush. By the time we were done working, the rain, clouds, and wind had abated, and we ended up with a beautiful evening that led into today’s perfect spring day. We enjoyed church with friends, a nap, a day at the park, another nap, and breakfast for dinner!
With all that fun, it’s on days like these when I think it would be nice to closer to lots of family. So we appreciate the family we have in our friends here.
Back in Minnesota, my parents and sister’s family (including 6-month-old Kacie, for the first time!) walked in the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure this morning. My mom lost her best friend to breast cancer six years ago, and they’ve made the Race a Mother’s Day Tradition.
Denver’s Race isn’t until October, but I’ve made it a mission to pass on another opportunity to give of ourselves in the next few days. The National Marrow Donor Program is putting on its annual Thanks Mom Marrow Donor Drive. From May 5th through the 19th, it’s free to register as a marrow donor. Feel free to take a look at my latest blog entry for a little more information. And if you decide registration isn’t for you, maybe you’ll be willing to pass along the opportunity to others.
