WORLD DOWN SYNDROME DAY!

My Beautiful Daughter Sophia Joy!

I remember being a little scared right at first, what was down syndrome? Well Sophia being taken away down to the NICU was more of a concern for us then her having down syndrome. We just wanted our sweet little girl home with us! I didn't fully realize it then, but Sophia Joy was a wonderful gift from God! She laughs easier, forgives easier, and enjoys life fuller! She is a wonderful addition to our little family, and I if I could go back and choose to have her with down syndrome or not, I would fully take her just the way she is!

Down Syndrome kids are a blessing and I pray all who have been blessed with a child with down syndrome would realize that!

New Camera!

So David spoiled me with a new camera!
Its super nice, and it cost a good penny too, its a Nikon D3100! We are thinking about trying to get a small business going, not just pictures of nature but taking family photos, baby photos, ect... It would be a lot of hard work, but I only know of 1 other photographer down here in Williams. Now I now Williams isn't huge but I think there is plenty of room for two photographers! Well there is our idea and now I will share a few pics, some of the kiddos and some not. I really do need to remember to take more pictures of my kiddos lately...

My FAVORITE picture David took coming home from Flag the other day!

Charles deciding if he wants to climb the rock at Buffalo Park. 

Beautiful Clouds!

Sophia actually smiling for a photo! (lately she hates pictures!)

MORE HUGS! (Charles is a camera HOG, and a little HAM!)

Sick again...

So I have a terrible sore throat again, I am hoping it isn't strep, but if it is i'll have had strep 3 times in the last 4 months! Terrible I know, but it hurts worse then when I had strep and I don't have white spots? So i'm a little confused as to what it is! It just kind of happened over night, and I can't talk, not only because it hurts, but because I just don't have a voice. My poor kiddos seem to be sick too but don't know if it is the same thing or not. David is the only Healthy one, well at them moment anyway... and he use to be the one that was always sick! Until he started talking Vitamin D 3, coincidence? Not sure, but the last 2 times I have gotten sick David hasn't...

Well other then that everything here is good! Life is busy, Kiddos are getting bigger taller, Sophia is saying more words. Such as: good job, all right, and all done; are just a few examples that come to mind. Charles the other day after Supper got down from his chair and said thank-you mommy. awww how sweet! Or he will come up if I get hurt and ask if I got hurt then ask if I need a kiss and give me a kiss to make me feel better! What sweet kiddos! Or when we put Charles to bed, he goes down first (just our routine) and Sophia comes along prays for him on her knees by his bed then gets up kisses him on the forehead tells him good-night and leaves his room! Its the sweetest thing I have ever seen!

So enough rambling i'll end with a few random pictures of Sophia and Charles helping me cook last week.(before we all got sick!)

Oh and these flowers were a fun surprise that just appeared in our front yard after the snow melted!
