Wednesday, February 10 was our 6th annual Cookie Day at the Missouri State Capitol, when families from around the state bake and package cookies and deliver them to the legislators in Jefferson City.
A few of the over 3.500 cookies that were brought to the capitol:
"Our" alcove next to Rep. Davis's office.
Families came here to get their assignment sheets, then moved out all over the capitol to deliver cookies, cheer, and a message of, "We love having legal midwives in Missouri. Please don't let that change!" 3,550 homemade cookies were delivered this year by 150 midwifery supporters. Great work!
We moved to this area just off the rotunda for lunch.
Jesse and Emily arranged for pizza delivery and folks were able to order ahead of time - it worked great! Samanda brought lots of drinks, which were most welcome.
Many thanks to all who made Cookie Day another successful demonstration of how much Missouri's families love and appreciate their midwives!
And here's a link to some media coverage of the day.
