Our fall mini staycation!

Cody had planned a long weekend trip to Nashville for my birthday...but we had a change of plans! I went home on Wednesday to visit with family so we decided to go ahead and leave the girls with my mom and dad instead of driving back on Friday to drop them off! Cody was sure he was going to miss the girls entirely to much for us to go to Nashville and not get home to them until Sunday so we decided to stay in Memphis and then go pick up the girls on Saturday (that changed too)! Thursday Cody and I completed our first striping job and we had so much fun! We were so proud! After we went to a pizza buffet for dinner. Then we went home and laid in bed and talked until 10!!! It was so good! Saturday we slept in and then I went to my Spa Day while Cody played golf! Then we came home and watched a movie and took a nap....then we went to Collierville for a shopping spree and dinner! We each got a new pair of sunglasses!! Saturday was the day we were supposed to pick up the girls, but Cody talked me into letting them stay one more day...so we slept in again and then got up and headed into the Wolfchase area for more shopping! We had so much fun! We had lunch and then headed home to get ready for our garage sale next week! Sunday we woke up early and headed to get our sweet babies that we missed terribly! We really did have THE BEST time with each other!

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...
