Buddy Walk 2009

It was a gorgeous day for our local Buddy Walk! We did not have a team of our own (the Walk was early this year, and I knew the first part of September was going to be crazy busy for us), but we did get to enjoy a wonderful day filled with sunshine and friends. It was hot, and a little loud, and near naptime, so Miss Bridget was fairly quiet. She seemed to enjoy herself, though! She also greeted everyone she met with "knuckles" (she likes to say Boom!)

The highlight of our day was getting to meet a few other girls close to Bridget's age, including Leah Elliott and her family. Bridget and Leah were both tired, but were so cute together! My camera was out of batteries (!), so I did not capture any shots of the two of them together. Photographer Melissa Jones was there though, with the Elliott family, and may have one or two (I hope!).

Here are a few other pictures from today:





I don't know if I've mentioned it here, but Bridget's picture will be included in the NDSS Times Square Video this year which will run at the start of the NYC Buddy Walk on September 26th (it's this photo, taken with her Papa on the 4th of July):

  7. Congrats on the Times Square picture. It's a great one!

    We really enjoyed meeting you at the walk! It's too bad the girls were too exhausted to play.

    You have a beautiful family.

  9. It is so exciting to see Buddy Walks already happening. Here in Sydney Australia, we are hoping for good weather on October 11 so that we can have as much fun as your photo's show. How good is it meeting other little one's the same age. My little boy loves it.
