Thank you to all of our family and friends who supported Francesca and her "buddies" today through the Buddy Walk! We had so much fun and your love for our little sweetie means so much to us! Y para los que hoy no pudieron estar por la distancia, sabemos que estuvieron alli con sus corazones. Los queremos mucho! ...Besitos babiosos de Francesca...
Francesca was ready to go this morning!
These are the pins we made for those who walked Francesca's Buddy Walk
We got Francesca all cozied up in her stroller for her fun, chilly morning
Grandma teared up when she got there this morning - it hit her that this (Buddy Walk) was Francesca!
Mateo is a proud big brother - he didn't want to take off his Buddy Walk t-shirt all day
The UNO campus was full of people and tents
Francesca was in a great mood all morning!
Mateo got his hand painted. Aunt Nelly wanted him to go all out with a Spiderman face, but Mateo wasn't quite ready for that kind of commitment. A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would do.
3 of Francesca's girlfriends:
Stella Boyd
Natalie Perkinson
Elizabeth Murray
This clown had on Francesca's colors ... but he definitely stuck his big clown foot in his mouth!
Kiddos with the clowns
The track was full all the way around with friends and families of kids with DS
Mateo and Daddy wait with Jess Boyd to start the walk
Grandpa & Grandma - Grandma's goal was to get the bumblebee in every picture.
Mateo was ready to run!
Luke & Sam on their scooters, Mama, Aunt Nelly and Grandma walking the track
My BFF Elizabeth Perkinson came with her 3 kiddos - Natalie, Luke and Sam. Sam and Luke road their scooters around the track. :)
Mateo walked all 4 laps = 1 mile! GO Mateo, go!
Francesca fell asleep during the first 100 feet
Isabella and Mateo are as close as brother and sister
Francesca is definitely a Daddy's Girl!
The real bumblebees found us at the very end of the morning (look on Grandma's jacket!)
Mateo fell asleep on the way home (and stayed asleep for 3 hours! we should have him walk/run a mile every day!)
The music was rockin'! It was cool and windy, so we had Francesca covered up.
