Birthdays, Burgers and Buddies


It was time for Ella's Birthday week, we headed out to the "big field" for a dinner out.  There were plenty of burgers but we could have used a few more cheese curds.  She had a softball game scheduled but it was rained out, but there was still other games to be played and laughs to have.  She spent a lot of fielding time on third base.  The weather is still unseasonably cool and while it sprinkled early in the week, there were flurries in the air on the weekend.  We spent some time on a JDRF walk and raised a good amount of money for our team "sweet soles."  Next year we are going to have more people, more funding and better t-shirts....there are some very creative people in the area.  Didn't see the total raised for T1D but saw one guy alone had raised over $12K...so we are setting new goals!  Ella was able to walk it with some of her friends which was a great show of support. It also made an enjoyable weekend for her as she spent the night at a sleep over and then rounded it off with some family birthday celebrating.
