What is this blog about? It's a mish mosh of my ramblings about home, work, my constant quest for good coffee and my wonderment why I never sleep. It's a little of this and a little of that with a whole lot of WTH mixed in for good measure :)

We Walked, We Strolled, We Kicked Butt!

A Million Thank You's to all of our friends and family across the country that sponsored us in the Autism Speaks Walk! We ended up raising $700 for autism!! The support and love we felt from everyone was just overwhelming. Our little team raised almost $12,000! Cleveland raised $600,000.00 and the goal was only $250,000.

Our family had such a great time despite some of the hectic-ness with the huge crowds, loud noise, bright sun and all other things that drive people on the spectrum (and ME) nutso. They think about 6500 people were there.

The big hit for Logan was seeing Geoffrey the Giraffe and Slider (The Indians mascot) and rocking it out to the drums. Logan is my hero :)

This kids' got rhythm!
