March of Dimes

We were selected to be the March of Dimes (MOD) Ambassador Family for the Cedar Rapids Signature Chef's premiere party (one of the main fundraisers for our local MOD chapter). It was a very exciting event to be a part of and included a wide variety of items to be auctions (food, wine, massages, jewelry, etc) along with a sampling of food from four local chefs who also auctioned off dinner packages. This occurred at the end of September and we "shared our story" during dinner. We brought the girls along to introduce them at the end of the talk, but Zoe had other ideas, and needed to be with us from the start. She decided to continuously swat at the microphone until it almost fell off and cover Ian's mouth as he tried to speak. She gave a shout out to her sisters then decided to recite every cartoon character she could think of. Stella and Abby sat with the grandparents, but also gave a few shout outs to us as we spoke. I think we were a hit.

The girls had their photos taken and put on display to show then and now along with their birth stats. The pictures below are pictures of what was on display. The individual pictures are what I used to create my thank you cards.....each of them holding the first outfit that they wore (and it was way too big at the time.
