Boxing and Autographs Oh My!

Before the Welcoming Presentation the girls went downstairs to play a few games, meet a few new friends, sign a few autographs and throw a few good punches!

Day Two...Breakfast at the ESPN Zone

Day two began with a welcoming breakfast at the ESPN Zone where all the Champions and their families had a chance to meet and enjoy a great time! Miss America joined us for a few photos too! Games? Did someone say games? Downstairs? Wahooo!

The JW Marriot on Pennsylvania Avenue!

What do you do when you first go into your room at the JW Marriot? Jump on the bed and have a snack in bed! If Sara and Emily thought this was fun...you just wait to see what else they get to do! This is just day one of our trip of a life time!

DC here we come!

From the moment we arrived at Logan Airport to hop on our Delta Flight to DC we knew we were about to experience a chance of a life time! Sara and Emily were all set with their new ladybug pets and their Champion Shirts!

Boston Globe Article!

Sara and Emily were recently featured in the Boston Globe (link below) as well as the Boston Herald sharing their story about the Children's Miracle Network! And the girls were very impressed by the strength of Kevin Faulk ~ New England Patriots player ~ as he held both Champions in his arms at the Walmart Kickoff in Walpole. We are so proud of our girls and the New England Patriots!

Walmart Kickoff!

What a welcoming! Walmart in Walpole, Massachusetts celebrated Sara and Emily last week (Tuesday, May 25th) with an amazing Champion Kickoff Party! Our family was overcome by the genuine love and support the Walmart Family shared. The girls gave out lucky ladybug stickers to the Walmart employees and staff sharing their "ladybug luck" that has been with our family even before the girls were born. A delicious and spectacular ladybug cake was shared among the guests and an adorable ladybug theme was seen throughout the store. The girls even received handmade ladybug slippers that they wear to bed these days even though it feels like summer! The generosity and warmth felt throughout the store was overwhelming and we cannot begin to thank all of Walmart for such a great memorable day!

So thanks to those of you who took part in the event and hopefullly the fundraiser will be a great success!
