Weekends make us happy!!!

We look so forward to the weekends so we can spend all day with each other!! Friday I was chomping at the bit to get home to my babies!! When I walked in the door Livia came as fast as she could to me with her arms wide open and a big smile!! Lailee was snoozing away! I missed them soooo bad!! One of my room moms made dinner for us, so I didn't even have to worry with cooking! I could just enjoy the girls and Cody! Saturday we stayed home and played until Cody went to play golf...we rode with Janet into town to do a little shopping! That night Cody and I went out to eat..this is the third weekend we have done this! It is really nice having Cody's parents right down the road for many reason and this is one of them! We love the few hours we get to spend with just each other on the weekends now!!

Lailee loves the Mamaroo!

Liv has been very insistent on learning how to jump...we have been practicing all kinds of ways and this is one of them!
Hanging out with Gran!




This is her new "oh" face!

Rock Your Socks for Lera {SAVE THE DATE}

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...
