Hope for a Cure
Photo-A-Day #1526

Today Allison, Eva and I participated in the Relay for Life at our local High School. We had a really nice time. Eva enjoyed running around the track, stopping and looking at all the luminarias and spending time with her Memere. I had a great time taking photos all over the place and I even did a video, I’ll do more tomorrow and put it all together too.

While making the videos there were four teen girls who followed me for much of the shot. I didn’t know they were there until I got back to our tents. It is pretty funny, can’t wait to shot you the video. For now here are some shots I took.

Rainbow at Relay for Life
It was raining when we started the relay but the sun came out and so did a full rainbow, it was so big I could not get it all in the shot.

So many great people helped us out with donations and we raised $375 here at BenSpark.com. Our Team The Sacred Heart Stewards raised over $9,000 – So Awesome!

More donations can still be received, only $125 away from our $500 goal!!

I Can Do it Myself
Photo-A-Day #1525

Eva has been becoming much more independent and strong willed. Words like “Mine”, “Myself” and “No” are rearing their impetuous little heads. I really love this kid however she is trying our patience because she is wicked smart and cute and worst of all, she knows it.

For example, the other day Allison was taking Happy Feet out of the DVD player. Eva went to touch the tray and Allison said “No!” and moved Eva’s hand. Allison went to put in Finding Nemo and as she dropped the DVD onto the tray Eva pushed the tray in, jamming the DVD player. Allison was beside herself and so she called me to have Eva tell me what she did to my DVD player (it was a gift from Allison for my 30th Birthday). I get the phone call and Allison is exasperated telling me what happened. She then puts Eva on the phone and Eva says “I Just Touched It” in the most innocent manner. As Allison and I talked I could hear Eva saying “VCR” “Touched it” and “I’m Sorry” I swear that kid is way too smart for her own good.

By the way Eva’s even got those shoes on the wrong feet. She likes it that way.
