A Walk to Remember

October is infant and pregnancy loss month. In honor of this my friend, Sonya, put on her 6th annual remembrance walk to remember her son Carson.

This was our third year participating in the Walk to Remember in honor of Josiah, and it was a very special time as always! I love finding any way that we can remember him! I am so thankful for our friends and family that were able to join us this year!Josiah Slideshow 026_thumb[1]

Each year the walk gets a little more interesting! :) Our first year, I was pregnant with Mia. Last year, Mia was about 8 months old and just sat on our laps. This year, she didn’t want to have anything to do with sitting, so she just played with balloons in the back the whole time! Thankfully we always bring our very own nanny, Auntie Kelly, with us!! :)
