Highlights from the 2010 Step Up For Down Syndrome Walk

First and foremost, a HUGE THANK YOU to those that donated to Cody’s Gabba Gabba Gang team! We appreciate your support and are touched by the donations from strangers. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to those that walked with us! It is heart-warming to have your support. It is further proof of just how much you all love Cody! :)

Our Team Captain was nothing but smiles that day. He must have known that we were there to show our love for him!

I’m not saying this just because I’m his mom (okay maybe), but doesn’t he have the most addictive smile??? I know you are smiling right now as you look at his picture. :)

The Co-Captain was ready to go, too! We had to explain to him that Co-Captain was not an abbreviation for “Cody’s Captain”. ;)

_MG_5001This was our first time joining the walk and we were very excited about it. Even DJ was (though he will tell you otherwise!).

Papa and Mama came out, too!

My brother, Mike, and his girlfriend Teri joined in the fun.

One of Cody’s favorite playmates was there – my younger brother, Mitch. (By playmate I mean that Cody likes to try his new wrestling or UFC moves on his Uncle.)

And we were excited to have my cousins, Kenneth and Liezl, join us as well! THANK YOU for coming out early on a Saturday morning to walk with us! Next time, I will remember to bring donuts. ;)

If there is music, Cody will find it. And when he finds it he will DANCE his little tushy off!

This is the look you get when the music stops.

And he was off!!!! Look at the joy on his face. He walked about half way then lost interest in the walk. :)

Again, THANK YOU to all those that showed their support through joining our team, sending donations and messaging us with well wishes for the walk!
