JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes

On September 26 we participated in the JDRF Walk to Cure Diabetes in Canton, Ohio. And we had some friends walk with us this. The Horstmann's, who are our friends from church, came and walked with us. It was so fun to have people walk with us. David designed a t-shirt for our team and it turned out great. We also had a bake sale at American Greetings, where David works, to raise money for our team. Our team name this year was Jacob's Carb Counters.


The only downer of the day was that it was kind of chilly and started drizzling half wasy through the walk. But we all finished the 4K and got some free lunch at the finish.


Here is our team. Thanks to everyone who donated and supported us!!

Yummy Raspberries

On Labor Day we went to Rosby's Farm to pick raspberries. I found out about this farm last year and I am so happy about it. I have been wishing for a cheaper way to get raspberries and when you pick your own, they are so much cheaper. I love raspberry jam and and now I can make some, yeah!!!

We met some friends at the farm and spent a couple of hours picking berries. The kids actually really enjoy picking them too. This time we picked 9 quarts!! That is a lot of berries. And we made lots of jam and froze some, made a salad and made some Raspberry Crisp that was super yummy.

First Days of School

Katelyn started 3rd grade on August 26 and Jacob started Kindergarten on September 3. Katelyn is an old pro at the first day of school thing. She loves school and was excited to start 3rd grade. We hope she has a great year!

Sending Jacob off to Kindergarten was harder than I thought it would be. But with his diabetes, there is an extra thing to worry and obssess over for me. He didn't seem to sure about getting on the bus, but he climbed on anyway.
