These people are all heroes to our family. We had a team of 23 people walk in the Northern Virginia Apraxia walk today and a bunch more who walked with us in spirit but couldn't actually make it this morning. It was chaos and fun and exhausting and exhilarating. The kids ran and walked and moved from stroller to wagon to stroller again. We didn't walk the full 4.8 miles around the lake because we kind of thought that was quite a distance to tackle when 13 of our 23 team members where children and all under the age of 7. Our team raised almost $400 for CASANA! You are all Logan's Heroes today and forever. Thank you all for the support and love that you showed our family.
And this guy, well he is the world's best biggest brother. Peanut doesn't know it yet, but he has a protector, a friend and a teacher in his big brother. Little Man ran and ran and ran and played and played with his friends and cousins while on the walk. He was a champ about it not being all about him for a few hours and other than a brief fight over not getting to wear fancy clothes today he was an angel.
My personal hero is this sweet guy. He walked and ran more than he rode in a stroller and was excited to finally be at his walk. I don't know if he knew we were all there walking for him, but he knew that he was surrounded by people who love him. He has so many words and has worked hard for each and every one of them. He has the sweetest voice and an infectious smile. Everyone that meets him walks away with a smile on their face because he is so genuine in his love for life.
