The New Ward Times: Social/Charity Events: It's all about the babies!

Saturday was a very busy yet fun charity event day for the Ward household. First, mom, Violet and I went to do the March for Babies for the March of Dimes. Thanks to our family and friends, Violet and I raised $1580.00 for our team! Our team, Avery's Aviators raised over $8,000 for the cause! What a feat! It was touching and emotional to know how many people were there to support us in reaching our goal and to help such a wonderful cause. The clouds were low on the drive out the Promenade and then...as soon as the walk was about to start...kaboom! Here came the downpour with lightening (yikes!). So we hurried to get Violet out of there!! But, in consolation, the afternoon was gorgeous so I took the dogs walking and had my own March for Babies! Love to all that contributed!

Our team mascot: little Avery!

Keeping dry from the rain. It was a downpour!

After the walk, Violet and Hallie went to Grammie and Popi's so Tony, Serena, Wes and I could attend Craws for a Cause. This was a super crawfish boil to raise money to purchase two new NICU beds for Baptist Hospital. The lines were long, but the company was great. After, we went to Gusano's to hang out...we made it until 11:30! Wow! A fun time was had by all..and an added bonus, my friend Jeff was there!! We have been trying to catch up FOREVER so it was wonderful to see him and catch up on our kids..wait..what? Two years ago, that would not have been a thought! My how time flies!
