March For Babies!

Baby Leigh sitting outside for the first time earlier this week. We've been doing some unauthorized time off the ventilator, and here she is, outside, wearing an HME (Heat Moisture Exhanger). She looks a bit like a Saint Bernard with that barrel under her chin. She did not like the sun in her eyes.
And here she is on her actual birthday, playing with a new toy.Today (Sunday) was the March for Babies at Lighthouse Point. All of you contributed and helped us raise over $3000! That's a lot of money - and we thank each and every one of you.

DKV, SHV, and Aunt Molly ran (with Danny in the stroller) the 5 1/2 mile course. And we won. Granted, only one other person was running. We beat her quite badly. We also removed the batteries from some kid's electric wheelchair, neutralizing him as a threat to our sweep of the top three spots.
DHV tearing it up at Lighthouse Point today. After he "tested" each riding lawn mower on a recent Lowe's expedition we bought him his own John Deere shirt. He wears it well.Grandpa Lee and Baby Leigh.Chaos.Mr. T impression. "It's my birthday . . . I pity the fool!"Happy Leigh.

I am quite concerned that you continue to allow your son to wear "Crocs." it's true that they are endorsed by Benjamin "Big Ben" Affleck, but they are also the source of 80% of American "slip, trip and/or fall injuries," and some of those recorded in the past involved your son.

By the way, your daughter looks great, as do you and "Aunt Molly." Please continue to exercise.

Grandpa Lee looks a little like a children's television show host, here. In a good way.
