heartwalk & ike

Yesterday we participated in HeartWalk, a fundraising and fitness event benefiting the American Heart Association. It's an annual event for us and Stella's first time out. She did great. We thought she would just sleep in her stroller, but she was fascinated by all the people, and especially seemed interested in dogs. Luckily we had just the right outfit for her - her Nana bought her this pink velour tracksuit before she was even born.

We thought the event might be cancelled with the hurricane weather, but we went down anyway. It was on, and we enjoyed the 3 mile walk. Here's how humid it was - started to drizzle just a bit:

We were lucky to not really be affected by Ike, and so far our friends & family in the Houston area are safe. Many are without power and water though, looks like it will be quite a while until things get back to normal down there. Think good thoughts for them.
