Autism Walk

The girl in the pink dress sang the national anthem, it was amazing

Aaron was all smiles!
Jill and Hadden were trying to hold hands

Our team!
Today was the Autism Speaks walk for autism awareness. It was held at Disney's Wide World of Sports, and honestly, in all the years I worked for Disney, this was the first time I had ever been there. The whole event was pretty cool, they had different vendors set up around the track and different speakers (even Mrs. United Nations International, I wanted to steal her crown, no seriously it was pretty awesome). Lani, her mom Linda, April and I were definitely in full freak show form today. We couldn't stop and just stand still for a moment without I guess we should be flattered, right? We tried to get a photo with Keith Landry from Fox 35, but he totally blew us off, maybe we came off as kind of crazy? But like I said the walk was pretty awesome, there were a ton of people there and it was cool to learn more about autism.
In other news....Aaron is getting his first tooth! One of his front bottom teeth has started to poke through, very exciting! Both of the kids are doing much better. Jill has some snot every once and a while but for the most part is back to 100%. Aaron is still a little snotty but is 10 times better than he was the other day.
Monday we are going with Lani and April to have our photos taken with Santa (yes I know it's not after Thanksgiving, but seriously...). I'm just interested to see how the kids react to a big man in a red velvet suit!
That's it around here, hope all is well with you!

Orlando Walk for Autism among other things

Let me start by saying HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOM!!!! It seems like everyone's birthday is this month, doesn't it? Ok, back on topic...so Lani, April and I have decided to do the Orlando Walk for Autism which is being held November 15th at Disney's Wide World of Sports. It's a great cause, it honestly is and I have learned so much more about autism since signing up. All the proceeds from the walk go towards research since there is no cure. If you want to check out their website and our team you can go to http://www.walknowforautism.org/orlando/personal/amnethero If you are in the area and want to join us in the walk you can register on our team page (Moms of multiples, obviously!) and of course on either page you can make a donation which would be greatly appreciated (and is tax deductible!).
The past few days have been pretty crazy over here. Scott had an event at work last night so Aunt Staci ;) came over to keep me and the babies company. I think Scott finally got in the door around 4 am, so it was great having Staci there to help me get the day started! Needless to say today was a lazy day with a whole lot of college football (GO NOLES!) and I think tomorrow may be the same way. Hope all is well with everyone!
