Join The Pink Zinks...

...on Sunday May 13th, as we walk to raise money for breast cancer research!!! The five of us are walking in the Komen Race For The Cure on Mother's Day in Philadelphia. My grandmother was a breast cancer survivor and I have done the race a couple of times. We are really excited to take our girls this year. Anyone is welcome to join our team, "The Pink Zinks" and walk with us!! We have a website that you can register to walk on. I should tell you that the walk is a 5K which is 3 miles. It is so crowded that it is a slow walk though!! If you can't join us but would like to help us; you can also make a donation to help us reach our goal on that site. We are trying to raise $300 to donate to the Susan G Komen Foundation. Of course, anything above that would be great!!! The site is:

We have also decided to walk on April 29 in the March of Dimes walk to fight prematurity. Our girls were born 8 weeks early and have come very far. We were very lucky that our girls were so healthy. Many families are not as lucky as we are. Through our girls' hospital stay we were able to share our experience with Bridget and Jesse; whose twins, Anna and Sophie, were also premature. All five girls are doing so well!! We joined Bridget's team for the MOD walk. Please visit her fundraising website if you would like to help them reach their goal!!!

Thank you all in advance for any help you can give us!!! We have gotten so much support over these last 6 months and we appreciate all of it!!

Now for the good stuff - the girls update!! They had their last RSV shot and here are their new weights : Lila 16#, Olivia 16# 8 oz, Ava 15# 9 oz. They are doing very well. Eating everything we give them!! Sweet potatoes, avocado, green beans, squash. This week they will try carrots and mango. The pediatrician said to help them find their feet and that will help them to get their muscles for rolling over. Not that we are anxious for them to be mobile!!
They went down the shore for spring break!! We spent a few days with Aunt Jen and Uncle Mike. They got to see the beach for the first time!! We hope they liked it because we plan on spending a lot of time there!! Here are some new pics!! Enjoy!

How I remember those teething cookies. They have to be the messiest snack ever.

I truly love looking at your sight and seeing how the girls and you are doing.

By the way did I tell you I renamed the triple dead row after you guys? It is now the Lisa or Mike.

Have a great holiday.
