Still eating...

Raina has not spent much time away from her Bumbo seat...she is still eating everything in sight. Love it.

Mmmm...Thai Food

Raina has had an enormous appetite the last few days. Here she is enjoying her second dinner tonight...pad thai.

Race for Hope

The Race for Hope is a 5k run/walk to benefit brain tumor research that will take place on May 1st in DC.

Join us for the 14th Annual Race for Hope - Washington, DC 5K Run/Walk, one of the largest national fundraisers to benefit the brain tumor community! Through generous gifts from individuals and company sponsorships, the Race for Hope - DC has raised more than $11 million in its history, including a record-breaking $2.3 million in 2010, and is growing each year. A 5K course in the nation's capital, the Race for Hope - DC is open to everyone, and is a fun way to join forces in the fight against brain tumors. The Race funds research and support services for those affected by this disease. Proceeds benefit National Brain Tumor Society and Accelerate Brain Cancer Cure.

The event is held downtown at the Freedom Plaza. There are two teams supporting Raina at the race:
