Proud of Daddy

We are so proud of daddy!!! Today Michael did the 9/11 Memorial Stair Climb. He raised $350.00 to support the SAFE foundation.  A total of 343 fire brothers climbed 110 flights of stairs to honor their fire fighter brothers that died on 9/11.  The 110 flights of stairs represented the 110 flights in the World Trade Center.  Olivia, Johnny, Mema, Papa, Aunt J, Uncle Ryan and baby Raigen joined me in cheering on and watching Michael accomplish this amazing goal.  We are so proud of him!

Today was the second time he participated in this event.  He walked today for Edward Rall, a fallen fire fighter.  When each fire fighter finished they rang a bell and announced the name of the fire fighter they were climbing for. On that day 343 familes lost their heroes.  We are so thankful ours is here and able to continue to do what he loves!  We love you daddy and we are so proud of you!!

 My two year old loves fire trucks, fire helmets, fire hydrants and everything fire related.  When his daddy is at work he tells everyone "daddy is helping the people!" His daddy is truly his hero!   On 9/11 343 families lost their heroes.  I continue to pray for these families.  Feeling so thankful that our hero is still able to help the people!

 Olivia was so proud of the sign we made for daddy!
