Walk for Hope

This Sunday was the annual City of Hope Walk for Hope to support breast cancer and Ben, Riley, and I joined the other thousands of walkers/runners to support the cause. What is interesting about this event is that three years ago I walked this walk with Sylvia and her friend and had a long discussion about all of my miscarriages. It was this friend that told me about her story and how she went to see an accupuncturist when she was having similar problems. She sent me the name of her accupuncturist, I made an appointment, and saw him throughout my pregnancy and one year later we were at the same walk walking with Riley. We still have no idea why this last pregnancy worked and the many others didn't but the only thing we really did differently was the accupuncture sessions. This is Riley's second walk and he had a blast. He loves to break out in dance when he hears music and he had a great time dancing in the street at the walk. We tried to get a video of him but everytime he saw us try to take a video he would stop and run over to try to grab the video...thus no video.
I have no idea what is going on......
