Walk like a rock star!!

For the 8th year, our family has walked for Ethan and his battle against Diabetes. Our team, Ethan's Angels, weathered the cold (28 degrees) and got out to support Ethan and so many others that are affected by Diabetes. Every year, Ethan likes to come up with his t-shirt ideas. Some of his ideas are just plain impossible to understand or even pull off. But, we always decide on the perfect design that really shows his personality. This years shirt design...

Ethan's shirt won a medal...so he was thrilled! I don't know about you, but my kids have been crazy about mustaches for the past six months! We have gone through 875 packages of stick on mustaches!! They are BIG fun in our house. So, it stood to reason that we mustache you to help cure diabetes! Ethan decided that we should all wear fake mustaches to the walk. Do you know how much attention you get for wearing a fake mustache in public? Do you also know how weird they feel after about 15 minutes? Adam was the lucky one! He got out of wearing one because he has the real McCoy...lucky boy! Last I heard, $304,000 was raised for our areas walk. JDRF is such an amazing organization! We know that one day, Ethan and so many others will be cured. Until then, we will continue to walk and come up with t-shirt ideas that represent our sweet boy! Scenes from the walk.

Sweet Alex...don't you just love the hat my sister knitted for him

Aaron broke his arm the beginning of October. Then just a few days before the walk, he broke his foot at church. So, he had the luxury of riding in the wagon for the walk!

Our reason for walking!

Aunt Kelly always comes out to support Ethan.

Ethan, I love you more than I could ever explain to you! Always stay positive about your disease. You may never know why you have been chosen to battle this disease, but you can and will do wonderful thing because of it. Always know that others look up to you. You never know who is watching you and consider you an inspiration or a hero. You're my hero!
