Do Not Let Him Out Of Your Sight...

or else........(big jar of vasoline all over the couch,himself,the doors,flors..ect)



who me????


TROUBLE written all over this face

One Of Those Days

Maybe it was because there was actually silence in the house....except for the car noises Tyson was making.



I can't help but look at this face and cry happy and sad tears at the same time. So happy he is here with us today, so sad he had to go thru so much pain his first year...glad he was too small to remember. One of those days I had to stop and silently thank nurse Jen once again...she has no idea how many thanks and gratitude she gets from me even though I don't see her often. Everytime I see her I cry and hug her anyway!!

Ringing In 2011

So Alina and Courtney went to the hockey game in their new jerseys they got for Christmas- daddy couldn't bare to buy himself a jersey after buying these for the girls(they aren't cheap!) Funny thing is he won a jersey last night through a raffle drawing- good thing he didn't get himself one! They absolutely love going to the hockey games with dad. And dad loves the fact that they love going just as much as he does.

I took this picture of Buddy tonight after a long day with him...he chose not to nap today for some reason! I watch him sleep a lot which makes me think how fortunate we are to have him. He makes us smile,laugh,and most importantly become better people. Our family would not be the same without him. It's still hard to believe how close we came to losing him but a year of great health makes it easier to not to think about it as much. Am I still sad he has down syndrome? Everyday I am but I'm never sad around him...his personality is too funny to be sad about anything. Hopefully I will stop feeling sorry for him that he has DS and just realize this is how it is going to be and he has the best family EVER. (aunt,grandparents and all)
The end of this month we are taking Tyson to the Down Syndrome Clinic in Philadelphia. I am anxious for him to be evaluated by DS specialists. I already know this little guy isn't going to let an extra chromosome stop him from doing anything!

Happy New Year to all!

Now That Christmas Is Over....

We are ready for spring......

Happy Holidays

Oh Tyson

Just a few reasons why my son must be confined at times.....if he sneaks off to another room, this is what happens...



food all over the floor-


Hair pieces everywhere-


Just found this phone in the garbage tonight(He's already given one to the garbage men without us knowing)


He sneaks into his sisters room to climb the ladder to the bunkbed-


But after the end of a long day with him all I have to see is this happy little face and once again he can do no wrong in my eyes!
