I am a walker

Some of you may already have heard: I am crazy. That is, my wonderful girlfriends have talked me in to getting a team together for the Seattle Breast Cancer 3 Day in September.

So here we are: Team TaTas for Tots. A team of women dedicated to raising money for The Susan G. Komen foundation for breast cancer research. We're training, we're hosting parties, we're going to walk! And we'd appreciate your help.

We know not everyone is crazy enough to walk 60 miles in three days, but we are! So here's your chance to get involved too. You see, we've agreed to raise a minimum of $2,200 each in order to participate in the 3-day walk. Every donation, small or large, will be appreciated, and of course, put to good use. People who sponsor a TaTas for Tots team member for $100 or more will receive a special gift as a way to say thanks.

So, if you've got some spare change in your couch cushions or are looking for a good way to spend that newly received economic stimulus check, head on over to the 3 Day website and make a donation for participant 2058488 in event 1189. Thanks!

It's been a very busy March in the Anderson household. We've both been working hard. My husband finished his National Board Professional Teaching Certification Portfolio and the regular debate season. Between my classes, my internship, and my job, I've been too busy to do much of anything else. And yet, we still found some time (where we found it I have no idea) to celebrate Easter and six, count 'em, six family birthdays. Including the birth of the newest member of our family.

On Monday March 17th 2008 at 2:42 p.m. Emelia Midori Pendergraft made her early debut.




Sunday the 16th was my hubby's birthday and Tuesday the 18th is shared by my younger sis Melody, my father in-law Gary, and my younger sis in-law Caroline. What a week.

On Saturday the 22nd we attended the baby shower for Emelia--who made sure she could attend her own bash by coming two weeks early.





After which, my family went out to Red Robin for a drink in celebration of my younger sister finally hitting the big 21.





And on Sunday the 23rd we headed north to Redmond to celebrate Easter and multiple birthdays with Jim's family.
