Love this picture….even though James is wearing his tighties and a pea bag! Well, October is almost over…another month down. I know that it’s so cliché to say, but time flies. I don’t know where the months go. I look at Brinley and see this big girl now, all grown up! I know that people say […]
Twerk or Treat!!
Brinley decided that when she saw this beautiful creation, she would like her daddy to make her a Miley pumpkin for Halloween! We are so proud of her! 😉 Daddy and mommy have decided that we will dress up as one of those creepy bears with our tongues hanging out and we will take her Twerk […]
A Little Education :)
People with Down syndrome should always be referred to as people first. Instead of “a Down syndrome child,” it should be “a child with Down syndrome.” Also avoid “Down’s child” and describing the condition as “Down’s,” as in, “He has Down’s.” Down syndrome is a condition or a syndrome, not a disease. People “have” Down […]
Intervention!
In need of an intervention…. Box #1 Box #2 Box #3 Box #4 What is left of Box #4 Why do we buy Halloween candy so far in advance, knowing that we WILL open a box and eat it all?? I am ashamed! I am thinking that I am no longer down 30 pounds. […]
Ice Packs and Sundre…

Our Miracle
On Tuesday, we went to The Children’s Hospital for Adele’s respiratory appointment. I was feeling a bit optimistic. Maybe she would only need oxygen at night? Well, the testing only lasted for a short time because when I turned the oxygen off, she dipped. We will keep pluggin away. As I have said before, we […]

NEVER SAY NEVER! :)
Two days ago, I expressed my opinion on why I vaccinate and I felt that it is only fair to allow others to express their opinion on why they do not vaccinate. Bottom line – EDUCATE and RESEARCH. “There is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to prevent any diseases. To the […]
Never Talking About Immunizations Again :)
I was watching Good Morning America today and one of the clips was about a blog writing mommy. She said that she almost killed her 3 year old daughter. That was the first line on her blog. I guess it has captured the attention of thousands. The story is about a mom who is heavily […]
