UUUGGGHHH!!!
Between still having school when the rest of the Metroplex is off and the Red Radiers sucking it up, I am SO done. Tomorrow is going to be the longest day ever. I am not sure I will be able to make it. Please pray for me! Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

Campbell's Latest Milestone
Friday morning I asked Campbell to get his coat from his bedroom. He went down the hall and let out this horribly fake whine. I was immediately irritated when I found out that the whine was because his room was dark and he said he was scared...REALLY? Anyhow, I turned on the hall light and went about my business.
Next, I hear Campbell say, "Mom, I did it. I turned off the light." I didn't think anything of it because he always turns lights on and off with a bat or golf club. My response, "Cool." He then proceeded to yell, "I said I turned off the light, look Mom." So I went to the hall and sure enough my big boy can officially reach the light switch.
I started to make a big hooha and said we might have to get a treat for reaching such a big milestone. My comment immediately got an evil look from Wesley.

...and we are off the charts!
Okay, so I am sure you all remember when I was worried about little Annie Anorexic when she was very little. I had to put her on soy, concentrate her formula, and she was only eating about 12 ounces a day and losing weight as opposed to gaining. At one point her life she was in the 10th % for weight (very small) Well, all of that has changed. We went for her 4 month check up on Thursday, Homegirl is not even on the charts (above 95%). She weighs a whopping 16 1/2 pounds! Seriously! She is BIG for her age, but what is funny is that her height and weight is almost the exact same as Campbell's was when he was only TWO MONTHS! Just a funny story I thought I would share!

Support Breast Cancer Research!
This weekend was spent cheering for all of the 3 Day walkers. As you know, my very dear friend, Beth's mother, was diagnosed with breast cancer in January of 2007. She is here today, free and clear of cancer and doing great! We all walked in the 3 Day (every step of every one of the 60, yes I said 60, miles) in 2007, but decided to be cheerleaders this year with myself and Stephanie (Beth's cousin) having babies! It was truly a blast and all of the walkers just LOVED us. We thought about all of the things we loved when we were walking and made those things happe
n this year for the walkers (really it was Pattie and Chris who bought everything...thanks girls). 
Emerson came out to cheer with me and of course I had her decked out in a onsie I made (I appliqued on a pink robbon I cut from some velvety soft fabric )and a tutu of course! She was a hit. So many people took
her picture and lots of women said with moist eyes, "We are walking for you sweetheart." Talk about awe inspiring! I am attaching some pics from the weekend and leaving you with T-shirt sayings from the weekend! I wish I could 
remember them all. You talk about tears, try walking behind a father and son with a picture of their wife and mother on their backpack with a sign that says, "In memory of my mom/wife."
1. Saving second base one step at a time
2. Got Blisters? Shut up and walk!
3. Cancer Sucks!
4. Man's Breast Friend
5. Breast Friends
6. Silly cancer, boobies are for boys!
7. No Booty, Just Chests (Pirate theme)
8. My boobies might be small, but they are worth walking for. (a little girl's sign)
P.S. Campbell and Wesley had a boy's weekend. On Saturday, they watched the A&M game and on Sunday they went to the IMAX and saw Madagascar 2. How 'bout those Red Raiders!

Beth and I have a friend, Emily, who was walking this year. We saw her today a little before noon and she broke into tears when she saw us. She said, "Finally, I get to see y'all! I am so exhausted." We just said, "We know exactly how you feel. YOU CAN DO IT!" The 3 Day is the most awe-inspiring thing I have ever done besides getting married and giving birth to my two beautiful babies. I encourage each of you to get out there and do it one year. It will change your life and you will forever be hooked on the cause!
