Our first JDRF walk in review

What an amazing day we had and I have to say first off that I did NOT cry once!  Woohooo for me!
Our little team started out as 5 when we registered and set our goal of $500 and we had 10 family members with us on walk day along with $1285 that we raised.  Way to go team!  I went by myself to register at 8:30 am for a 10:30 walk start, I thought I might need some time alone to prepare myself for a very emotional day but I just ended up drinking lots of coffee and peeing for 2 hours lol.  Once the team arrived we got down to it, Colin, Gramma & Daddy did the kids loop which was shorter than the 5 k that the rest of the Ninjabetics did.  I have some pics but not a tonne so here check us out.  By the end of the day everyone knew who we were and they loved it.

Bike riding = Lows Galore

I don't think I will be able to get this kid off of wheels all summer, HOLY CRAP!  So much rolling on skateboards and bikes and so many damn lows.  We spent almost 2 hours feeding the low at bed last night before he was high enough (7) to get his NPH and go to sleep poor kid. Then nite lows and a 6 am one to boot.  Then again today!  Still we have both had a great weekend and I am just so happy for the warm weather to finally be here to stay. 
Next Sunday is our JDRF walk and we've passed our goal so I am very happy, shirts are on the way and we will have the support of Colins very immediate family there with us :)  I know it's gonna be an emotional day for me since it's our first walk, I am going to bring my big girl camera and document the whole day. 
Hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday.

Happy Weekend!!

Boy oh boy it's been a while since I posted I guess I've been pretty busy, how is everyone doing?  We are all great here, diabetes is behaving today for the first time in days so I am a very happy Momma. 

The boy is feeling well and has just told me that his hair is driving him nuts and that he wants to get it cut today.  This is HUGE because his hair is horrible right now and he hasn't wanted to get it cut for about 4 months now, I'm not gonna make him do it because it is only hair after all.  Truth be told though it has driven me nuts being in that in-between short and long style that boys rock that really just makes them look like they just got out of bed...ALL THE TIME!  I know better than to sweat the small stuff so when he told me this morning that he wants to get it cut today before we go to the JDRF Family Movie tomorrow morning I jumped at the opportunity.  Today was going to be Spring clean day at my place but I think a nice lunch out with my favourite boy and a haircut sounds like way more fun to me. BTW does your T1's hair and nails grow super fast also?  I was told it was because of the insulin, weird but cool.

My brother is coming to stay with us tonight and is also coming to the JDRF event in the morning with us and I am very excited.  He is 16 turning 30 and he spends a lot of time with us so I am so happy that he wanted to come with us to meet some of the families here in London and that he is such a wonderful guy to my Colin.  I am also going to be meeting another Canadian D-Mom and her son tomorrow from our facebook group and that has got me super excited, I've never been able to meet any of you guys in the flesh yet so this is a first.  Also Colin will be able to meet some of the awesome kids that are just like him and that makes my heart smile :)  I am going to bring my camera for the haircut and for the movie tomorrow so I will post the pics for you all to see. 

I hope the sun is shining and that you all have a super fantastic Saturday.

Wanna sponsor us? You know u wanna :)

Got all registered up for our first JDRf walk and I am super excited, shirts have been designed and now we just gotta get the cash.  Since this is our first year I set our goal at $500 because we have a small group of friends and family I think it's reasonable.  Here's the link to my page, please feel free to share it.  Hope y'all are having a great day :)
