The Iowagners would like to cordially invite you to partake of this splendid blog post. We hope you find it as uplifting and inspiring as we have. First off, I must give a big verbal hug and even bigger thank you to SuperMom, and all those who responded to her posting this week. It gave me the warm fuzzies.
This week found SuperDad as busy as ever as he started again with framing young minds. His mission: to empower select youth to keep this country (well, at least Iowa) mobile. To enable them to fight the injustice of a vehicle in disrepair. Only time will tell if he has been successful.
The real excitement came on Saturday. Your favorite SuperFamily combined forces with approximately 24,350 other equally awesome people. We took to the streets of downtown Des Moines to take on the pernicious evil known as breast cancer. This was our fifth year in a row to participate in 'Race for the Cure'. We do it to honor SuperMom's amazing and feisty Grandma J, who fought a battle with breast cancer and won! This year, with SuperKids in tow, we completed the entire 5K walk. Even with the massive crowds we still were able to enjoy the experience. We actually came extremely close to breaking the record set by New York City of 25,000 participants. There is always next year...
