Yes, yes, this is shameless begging.  Almost two years have gone by since the boys’ surprising arrival 3 months early.  It used to be that I could not see the light at the end of a very scary tunnel.  These days are lives are filled with the following bliss:

General Mayhem

Nicholas and Dexter are amazing little boys.  They are finally repeating words, much to my delight (and maybe our horror as we now need to clean up our language), and they seem to grow by leaps and bounds every day.  Joel and I are constantly rearranging the house, trying to stay in front of it all.

That brings me to my shameless begging.  Please support us in the March of Dimes walk this year.  As you know, the March of Dimes’ mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.  Seeing that we benefited from their research and Nicholas and Dexter are healthy, happy toddlers (when not throwing tantrums), I would say it’s a very good cause to support.

We walk on April 24th in Everett.  You are welcome to join Team Yates in the walk and/or you can donate to our team via this link (Click HERE).  Our goal this year is $1000!!!!!  We are off to a very slow start, seeing that the walk is just 50 days away.  Nicholas and Dexter will both be walking this year.  Hopefully in the right direction too!  So, if you can give even $5 (and foreign currency donations are accepted too), we’d really appreciate it.  Team Yates would like to do everything possible to prevent others from having to walk through the scary tunnel of an early birth.

Thank you so very much for all of your continued support and well wishes.  We greatly appreciate it!  Love – Katie, Joel, Nicholas and Dexter
