"Want To Play?"

Just a little brag on my girl’s latest signing usage. Gabi asked our friend Michele:“Want to play?” (using signs as well)
I asked her, “What did you ask Michele?” She thought I was trying to correct her etiquette I guess since she changed it to:“Want to play, please?” (using signs as well)
Of course, when I got [...]

Buddy Walk 2007

What a great time we had at the Buddy Walk on Saturday! We had ALL 5 kids with us. What a treat that was, and I am not being sarcastic. I really mean it. I wanted so badly to be able to show not only my biological children but also my step children what an [...]

Your Eyes Are Not Playing Tricks On You!

And I do not have access to your blog. I changed Chelsea’s button without changing the code so your blog was automatically updated with the new button. This may still be a work in progress since I am yet to hear Carey’s response regarding the new design. She wanted me to use this picture [...]

Busy Weekend- Buddy Walk Weekend

I have had a busy day to begin my busy weekend. This is my 1st weekend off since I started working WoW (Work on Weekends)-nights. Other than the normal household chores, I also made and decorated a cake for 2 of our kids’ birthdays, prepared spaghetti in the crock pot, drove 1 hour away to [...]

Pick Pockets, Taxis & Buttons

Oh boy! What am I supposed to think when I find $5.00 in singles in Gabi’s pants pocket? Hmmmm…Do I have a pick pocket in the house? When I felt something in her pants pocket, I thought I’d find a toy or maybe even a folded paper from school. I didn’t at all expect to [...]

Calling All Prayer Warriers

I am tears here as I just found out one of my online friends from the Trisomy 21 Online Community just received some bad news. Carey from Dream Big is mom to beautiful Chelsea. Chelsea was diagnosed today with Leukemia. Chelsea has Down syndrome like Gabi. Unfortunately, Down syndrome is often accompanied with some health [...]

I Can Totally Relate!

This is typical behavior for Gabi (only it drives my husband more crazy than it does me):

To All Moms

This is funny. How many of these things do you say in a 24 hour period? I say a whole bunch of them myself.

And It’s Not Even April Fool’s Day

Tonight, I freaked! Yep! I did! I thought my computer got a virus! I thought it would be a while before I could update my blog, read other blogs, check my email, etc… I thought all my pictures that weren’t downloaded onto Photobucket were going to be hopelessly gone. Why is that? Because I am [...]

Hide And Seek

Jeremy decided to play hide and seek today with Gabi. Gabi loves to be the seeker, and almost never hides. Normally, if she does, she comes out of hiding before anyone has had a chance to seek her out. Jeremy usually keeps the game pretty simple for Gabi by hiding in the same places (broom [...]
