Meet Rosco....

Rosco is a 6 month old black pug that has kept our family entertained this past week. Elijah loves running around with him. The twins are still adjusting and sometimes they like him, sometimes they don't. Tom's mom and dad and his brother each got a pug last month and my kids have loved them so much we had to add one to our family too!!

You Tube Video of twins with Down Syndrome

A fellow blogger friend Maggie from Take a Walk on the Happy Side: Down Syndrome Awareness, had a reply to one of her recent posts that was very interesting to me and I wanted to share it with anyone else who may be interested. Maggie is one of the few people I have found online who also has identical twins both with Down Syndrome. If you are a reader of my blog and you know of any other people out there that have twins both with Down Syndrome and you could share their blog with me please do, we are so very rare, and its encouraging to find others who may be traveling the same path.

Preschool Outing 2009

Yesterday was such a beautiful day for a playdate. We went to a local playground called Spider Lake (and no there is no lake there) and met with the IU Preschool teachers and some of the families attending this year. The kids enjoyed bubbles, cupcakes, and of course playing on the play ground. I have been going through some totes of clothing to get ready for the upcoming school year and I found the cuteset outfits for the boys. Sadly I have no recollection as to who gave them to me, but I LOVE THEM!!! The boys looked so adorable as always and I had to share them with you.

They have a very busy year ahead of them. My other three children where no where near this busy as a three or four year old. They will attend IU preschool on Tuesday and Friday mornings. Here they will receive their speech therapy, occupational therapy, and physical therapy and well as learning to get along with others besides family members. Then on Wednesdays and Thursdays they will attend a different preschool called Stepping Stones. This is a program for children with autism. Here they do lots of activities that deal with sensory issues and socialization. They started this last fall and seem to enjoy it very well.

So for just being a three year old, they goto work four days a week now :) I'm so proud of my little men.

Cell Phone vs. Bible

Cell phone vs. Bible

Ever wonder what would happen if we treated our Bible like we treat
our cell phone?

What if we carried it around in our purses or pockets?

What if we flipped through it several time a day?

What if we turned back to go get it if we forgot it?

What if we used it to receive messages from the text?

What if we treated it like we couldn't live without it?

What if we gave it to kids as gifts?

What if we used it when we traveled?

What if we used it in case of emergency?

This is something to make you go....hmm...where is my Bible?

Oh, and one more thing.
Unlike our cell phone, we don't have to worry about our Bible being
disconnected because Jesus already paid the bill.

Makes you stop and think 'where are my priorities? And no dropped calls!

EWWWWWW Take II

I just read a comment from another fellow blogger with the most adorable little one. It had me laughing so much I had to share. I went from complete terror on what I was going to do next to laughing and getting great ideas on how to use up my neon band-aids that the other kids do not want to wear. Now this lady is talented at getting her emotions out on her blog. Absolutely well written, very funny, AND you made me feel ALOT better that this happened to someone else.

Thank you :)

EWWWWWWW

I am so grossed out right now. I just went and changed a poopy diaper on Isaac. And NO that is not what grossed me out thats a daily occurance times two, I'm just used to that by now. Anyway, yesterday was the first day I let Isaac's tummy go without a bandage on it. It is healing up rather nicely and has a scab on it. So I thought I'd go ahead and leave it unbandaged to get some air. I'm changing his diaper when a string glistens in the sunlight. I was like OH there's a hair stuck to his scab. I gently tug at it to see if I can remove it and OOOOOOHHHH My goodness!!!! Its a stictch. The area begins bleeding and I'm freaking out all over again.. Geez. Someday's this doctoring stuff it even to much for me.. Its not bleeding badly, just a speck of blood but now I'm freaked out to ever pull anything from a scab again.



UGH!!!
