Happy Easter!

We started this special weekend by talking with Livia about Jesus and what he did for us...every time I would say Jesus she would look up to heaven... So sweet! Friday we dyed Easter eggs at Emmi and Papa's. Saturday we took Livia and Lailee to the Arlington Easter egg hunt...we met Diana, Ali, Mama Jane, and all the kiddos! As soon as the hunt began it started to sprinkle, but that didn't stop us! Livia found 6 eggs with the help from Cody! We then had them take pictures with the Easter bunny! Liv was not so happy about this, but at least she didn't cry! Lailee slept through the entire thing! Cody and I went searching for matching Easter dresses Saturday night because the dresses I had got made for them did not fit and I even sent them back to be adjusted!!! Sunday we went to church. I wish I could say it was a great message, but neither of us heard a word....the "cry room" was full of crying and playing kiddos! Larry and Janet came over that afternoon for Easter dinner. We planned on doing an egg hunt but it had rained all day... We were going to do one inside but Liv wasn't that interested...she just wanted to play with her new toys! Thank you Jesus for dying on the cross for our sins, so that we can have everlasting life with you....there is no way we can ever repay you for what you did! We love and honor you! Happy Easter!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

Image
We are extra excited to celebrate our first World Down Syndrome Day! Join us as we “Rock our Socks” for Lera!  March 21 is World Down Syndrome Day (WDSD), the day the Down syndrome community creates a single, global voice advocating for the rights, inclusion and well being of people with Down syndrome.  Every year, on March 21, people all around the world come together to celebrate by wearing brightly colored or mismatched socks.  March 21 is symbolic because people with Down syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome. Socks were chosen because the karyotype of Down syndrome chromosomes actually looks like mismatched socks!  We believe it is our family’s mission to raise awareness about our precious Lera, and help change the way the world views Down syndrome one extraordinary day at a time!  💛💙 If you choose to “Rock Your Socks” please share your picture with us to document on the blog! This blog will be printed and used as Lera’s baby book. If you choose...

Lera's Gift

                      Meet our precious baby girl, LERA MICHELLE! Cody and I are choosing to share Lera’s story to hopefully encourage others that may have a similar journey and help change the way the world views Down Syndrome! At 11 weeks our OB at the time noticed a thickened nuchal fold and suggested we do a genetic blood test. Honestly, we didn’t believe anything would be detected with our baby, we were just looking forward to finding out the gender so early. The results came back, and the screening detected a 76% predictive value for Trisomy 21. Definitely not something we ever expected. And the way it was presented to Cody and me made us leave the appointment scared, confused, and in denial of the results we had just been given. We cried, we were mad, we prayed and processed and prayed some more. We shared the results with our closest family and friends and just like us, they prayed over our baby daily. After t...
