Tyler and I had the best time with our little boy this weekend, as he is getting bigger and stronger before our very eyes. He just turned 7 weeks old, and he has already developed quite the personality! In fact, he is already one of the biggest UK fans around. For example, check out in real time Owen's reaction to the UK game vs. Florida this evening:
 |
| A bit concerned before kickoff |
 |
| I give up! |
 |
| Another interception? |
While the state of UK's football program might not provide much comfort to Owen, we recently found a cool fundraiser that might: Cincinnati Walks for Kids! This is an event held on Saturday, Oct. 16, here in Cincy, where teams raise money on behalf of Cincy Children's and walk 1-3 miles in honor of a child that is/was a Cincy Children's patient. All the money raised by each team gets directly donated back to the hospital to help ensure that every family receives the same opportunity for help and hope like our family has.
Being the walking enthusiasts that we are, we decided to form "TEAM OWEN" to walk on behalf of our little boy. To join our team (I think each walker is asked to raise $25) or to just simply donate, you can visit the site: http://giving.cincinnatichildrens.org/netcommunity/teamowen
Or you can go to cincinnatichildrens.org/walk and search for "team owen". Anyone is welcome to walk with us, and if enough people join up we may be able to design some Team Owen shirts as well: (I will let you know the cost per shirt when I find out.)
Owen won't physically join us on the walk, but I can tell you he will definitely benefit from the proceeds raised from this event. So if you are looking for a reason to get back up to Cincy this it!
P.S. If you haven't heard, the doctors have set Oct. 25 as a tentative discharge date. Please pray for wisdom for the doctors and medical staff as we hit the stretch run and look forward to Owen's homecoming.
Take care everyone!
