Last weekend was Violet's 1st birthday. It was also the
Baby Steps 3K which supports the Children's Hospital NICU unit. When we received the postcard in the mail a few months back, we knew we had to do it.
We recruited walkers and cash donations and we are quite happy to report that we blew our first year goals out of the water. We were hoping for 25 walkers and had 30, while we were hoping to raise $1000, the combined efforts of all on Team Violet raised $2539.00!!! Out of the 87 teams fundraising, Team Violet came in 3rd place!!!

Following the walk, we invited family and friends over to join in celebrating Violet's first year of life. The weather was great, the cake was good, and the family and friends all caught up on what has happened since we were all together last.
