Weekend!

Luke and I before the walk!

Hi everyone!

This weekend was a busy one! On Saturday morning Luke and I got up bright and early to get down to Colleen Hoose school to walk in the Alzheimer's Walk! It was really a fun time for us both! They had a great turn out! Over 500 people walked this year! We met a nice lady named Anna who walked with us, without her it would have been kind of lonely. Next year I think it would be fun to get a team together. I felt good walking in my Grandmother's memory, like I was making a difference for a disease that I know is close to finding a cure. I want to teach Luke the spirit of giving to those less fortunate and helping out causes greater than one's self. That is truly a good lesson to teach our children. After the walk we drove out to Minier where Rob was already helping my sister and brother in law move. I came out to help watch Ellen while Melissa finished some last minute packing! Gosh those dang gnats were REALLY biting us bad! Melissa and John's friend Landis found out that they are attracted white, because about 1,000 of them were on the back of his t-shirt. Luke found out too, as they seemed to be attracted to his Blonde hair! There is nothing worse than holding a heavy box you can't drop while being attacked by bugs! Anyway we are happy to see them settling into their new place, and I know that home will be a showcase in no time with Melissa and John as the owners! Congrats Melissa, John and Ellen on your new home!! Saturday night was also Rob's mom's birthday celebration! We had a great night over there with a wonderful dinner (as always), watched a movie, and Grandma Mindy even gave Luke a hair cut! Which looks very cute I might add! We hope she had a wonderful birthday! Also as a side note it was a great game between DA Bears and the Eagles last night on Sunday night football! Rob's brother in law Brandon who is stationed in Cape Cod, MA is also originally from the east coast, and is a huge Eagles fan. So Bears vs. Eagles has been a fun match up the last few years in the Oakley family! Glad to say the Bears won again this year!
