Today was the JDRF walk in Portland.  We've done this walk for the last 5 years.  As most of you know our oldest son has Type 1 diabetes.  This year was a little different, he was chosen to be ambassador along with three other kids.   They got to go on live tv and filmed a commercial.  Today he had to get on stage and say a short thank you, he had his line memorized but was really nervous.  When it got to his turn he lost track and stumbled a bit but came through.  We then went on a 5k walk and had a great lunch.  We had both grandparents there, my brother and his wife and friends from Corvallis who also have a son Conor's age with Diabetes.  We had a fun day, we got to ride lots of rides after the walk and we even skated for awhile.  Now were all exhausted and hate that there is school and work tomorrow, one more day break would of been nice.
