What a Success!

The month of May has been all about The Arthritis Foundation in the Tate household. Sara had her Scrappin' for Arthritis event at the beginning of the month, and the San Antonio Arthritis Walk was this past weekend. Nana and Memaw came down to join us at our big walk. We are so blessed to have so many friends and family that support us and our favorite charity.

Nana and Sara woke up about 5:30 AM on Saturday to head down to the walk site to help set-up. Thanks to some yummy Starbucks we made it through the morning. We really want to thank Heather (and Cowboy), Chrissy, Kevin, Kaidon, Kaysen, Lily, Lucas, and Margo for coming out and walking with us. Y'all were such a huge support for us this year and we are SO thankful to all of you! We really have some awesome friends and family! We never found out a final head count for the walk, but we think it was by far the best one yet! We had an awesome turn out and Brackenridge Park is a fantastic venue. It just couldn't have been better.


Here is a picture of the 2009 Team Tate (minus a few). Together we were able to raise almost $3300!!!!!!! Isn't that fantastic?!!! A big bIG BIG thank you to everyone who donated!!! We are still amazed at how much we were able to raise this year, and how kind and generous our friends and family are. You all are AMAZING!

Help His Momma Fight Arthritis! (He is just too cute!)


For those of you that don't know, Sara will be chairing the annual Jingle Bell Run for the Arthritis Foundation this December, so get your running shoes on :-)

After the walk we headed to Boerne to show the Moms where Colby works and we peaked around some of the neighborhoods in case we decide to move out that way. It doesn't look too hopeful in Boerne itself. The housing market is quite expensive out there, but maybe things will look better when we are ready to buy.

Saturday night Colby and Sara got to have dinner with some good friends of theirs while the grandmas took care of William. It was a great night for everyone. William sure did enjoy having both Nana and Memaw together. He keep giving them hugs and pushing their heads together like they were suppose to be together. It was really cute. Nana headed back Sunday afternoon and the rest of us went to Guadalupe State Park. We had a great time and William really enjoyed the river. Daddy took him in and Will rode him like a boat. They splashed and played and had a fantastic time. That will be a repeat this summer for sure!

This week we have some fun activities planned so look for some more updates.

Love to all,
The Tates
