Mom and Lewis arrived last night safe and sound. They made good time, even though it rained most of the way into Tennessee.

This morning we went to shallow water aerobics. This time the average age was around 60, but they still schooled me. Turns out this was the biggest class ever. Imagine the waves generated by 20 people jumping (I wasn't one of those that were jumping). I swallowed a good bit of water until I made it to the side of the pool. It wasn't until this class that I realized that my body just couldn't keep up with my brain. Thankfully, I was in water and not on land, otherwise it could have been ugly...giggle... A half-hour in an mom realized she was going to have to pace herself. Poor Lewis was struggling just to keep up. By the time he understood what the position was, it would change. We think he probably thought it was a bouncing class...snort.

After the class we headed up to Chase's school. Chase has raised $300 in two days. These kids are phenomenal. We met one girl whose father has ALS. She's going to buddy up with Chase. It's good that he'll have someone to talk too. Their family has a team in the walk called Taylor's Trailblazer's.

The rest of the family that is coming in for the walk, get in tomorrow night. We're having the cove party to celebrate their visit, as well as to bring our neighborhood together. We look forward to seeing everyone at the walk.

Thank you to everyone that has contributed/donated to the walk. Our team has generated over $7,000 and it's still going strong.
