Article in People Magazine


If you are in your store and you see this issue of People Magazine, BUY IT!  There is an article about Andrea Roberts, founder of Reece's Rainbow, an organization that helps people adopt children from other countries that have Down Syndrome.  If not for this organization, some of these children would be left to die in institutions for the simple fact that they have Down Syndrome and are seen as unacceptable in society, only to be thrown away like common trash.  Let's help change people's perceptions about these wonderful angels!  Visit Andrea's organization at www.reecesrainbow.com.  You won't be sorry you did!

My boys




























Here are some recent pics of the boys...  Stephen colored a page with Mr. Krebs on it while I was fixing dinner the other night.  Andrew was holding the dogs while waiting for his dad to open his birthday presents!  Both of them are great kids!

Wonderful birth story from a wonderful lady

I found this site posted on another blog. It is a wonderful story that will make you cry. If you have a child with Down Syndrome, it will take you back to the first moments after your child was born. This lady is a very talented writer, and I look forward to reading more posts from her. Click on the link to read the story. enjoyingthesmallthings.blogspot.com

A Great Christmas


This is Stephen modeling one of his shirts and set of wristbands he got for Christmas.  This was by far his most favorite shirt.  He's been asking for this shirt for months...  Everytime I was on the computer, he would come over and asked to look at it online.  Both him and his brother had a wonderful Christmas this year.  We were alot better mentally as a family this year, last year we didn't know if my husband would have a job one week after Christmas, but this has been a year of overtime as he works for General Motors and has been one of the lucky ones.

We have been blessed this past year.  Their grandpa has had multiple hospitalizations, including two times for pneumonia and once for pacemaker surgery on October 19, 2009.   We celebrated my sister's birthday in the waiting room while they were operating on dad.  That's a birthday she'll never forget!  Grandpa had a stint in rehab so he could strenghten his walking skills after his last hospitalization.  Now he is back home with us, back to being mobile the way he was before the surgery, which helps us out tremendously.  If he couldn't get around on his own, he wouldn't be able to keep living with us.  Thank God for those precious miracles!

Have a blessed and wonderful 2010!
