Family Vacay & March for Babies!

Last week, our little DiFranco family took their first family vacation! We invested some money into a camper that pulls behind Joe's big diesel truck. I'm not typically one for camping but when I have my own bed, bathroom, shower, kitchen, AC/heat, I'm ALL over it! I do enjoy being out there, just not in a tent with the bugs and bears! So, we ended up driving 3 hours northwest of here to Arrow Rock, Missouri. Arrow Rock is a very, very small town (population 56) with a little main street. As our luck would have it, not a dang thing was open because the "season" didn't start until THIS WEEK! Oh well! We still had a good time hiking, taking walks, just hanging out together, peacefully! This summer, we are hoping to take a couple weeks and head to the east coast! If anyone has any suggestions, we'd love to here them!

March of Dimes, March for Babies! Wow! This event just about renders me speechless! Our friends and family are insanely amazing! We had a huge team at the actual event, not to mention all the t-shirts we sold! If we would have had everyone there that bought a shirt, we would have had 105 people! So cool! Frankie's team raised a whopping $1,300 for the March of Dimes! We had so much fun and can not wait until next year!

So, tomorrow is Frankie's hernia surgery. We have to be there at 5:45 am (ahhhh!) and the surgery is at 7:45 am. Joe and I have faith that all will go well, it's just still nerve wracking thinking about what he has to go through. They will be giving him a spinal instead of knocking him out completely and intubating him. Tomorrow we will be sure to keep everyone updated on his status and such. We will be coming back home on Wednesday.

Thanks so, so much for all that donated, bought t-shirts and showed your support for the March! Also, a big thanks for the thoughts and prayers for Frankie's surgery tomorrow. We love you all!
