Lots has happened! no we didn't get a puppy :)

Well its been awhile and a lot has happened in our families life since the last blog . Well where do I quickly begin... Allie and I headed back to chicago to meet my side of the family and it was a blast. Allie got to see Grandmas Store (cocoon) and meet all the cocoon ladies. Allie did great on the flight, no problems. Allie then got to meet Gram the Great and Great Grandpa Dunc. (which we took a picture of the four generations) On wednesday we met Uncle Nate for lunch and had a girls day with Aunt Dawn. We then had a sleepover with my best friend Sara. On thursday the family started pouring in. Great Aunt Jen and cousins Wes, Kinsey, and Logan all came down from Marquette Michigan. On friday morning while we were all sitting in the living room Rob walked through the back door. He suprised my family by flying in for the Cystic Fibrosis walk... what a suprise! it was so great to have the whole family together for this great event. On saturday the Lord truly blessed us with a BEAUTIFUL day... we couldn't have asked for anything better. The sun was shining and there was a slight breeze to rid of the May Flies. We are unsure of the number of people that showed up but we all guessed around 300 people. In the end we raised over $55,000! Truly amazing! My sister talked about her struggle with CF and then a man named steve who is 48 years old and was diagnosed with CF at the age of 13 talked and gave us a little more understanding of his journey with CF. What a great event and an amazing turn out. Everything went great and can't wait for next year!

So we headed back to wichita on monday and now are trying to get back on schedule :) But this past week Allie hit some milestones. She is now able to sit up on her own and she cut her first tooth yesterday! So exciting because she didn't have any of the symptoms of cutting teeth... which is a joy! She hasn't been sleeping as great but she hasn't been fussy or drooling or anything so she's been a trooper. Well No we did not get another bulldog but our good friend did and we couldn't help but take pictures of Allie with this cute pup!! Sorry for the novel!! Hope you enjoy the pics!
