Happy Valentines Day!

I cant seem to keep this thing going....when we had the other site it was always active....seems like blogspot blows my mind for whatever reason haha

We are enjoying our busy time together....the girls love school and work very hard. Sydnie is in regular 2nd grade and is doing really well.....she has grown up so much. She is currently taking tumbling......she will be participating in her first Special Olympics this Spring. We are all very excited about that!

Saylor is in the 4 yr old preschool at the same school as Sydnie. She absolutely loves it....she goes all day which was a change from her half day...(or so I thought) but she has never skipped a beat. All I hear is when will I be big like Sydnie...dont rush it Say Say it will be here before you know it! Saylor is also taking tumbling and loves it very much!

I will be glad to add your link to my blog. But I would like to suggest something too...
If you go to my blog www.mosaicmoments.today.com and click on the banner at the bottom of the last entry that says Get Paid To Blog, you could be blogging about your family under my new Down syndrome Channel and actually get paid for each post that you enter! This is totally legit and I have been blogging for this company for almost a year now. I get paid monthly and it definitely helps with the grocery bill! So, consider it... if you are going to blog, you might as well get paid to do it!
Love your new family picture you added!

About Down syndrome

October is National Down syndrome awareness month. Down syndrome is a genetic disorder that is caused by the presence of an extra chromosome, which results in varying degrees of physical and mental abnormality. It occurs in one out of every 733 live births. More than 350,000 people in the U.S. have this genetic condition. Here are a few more facts:
Down syndrome is a common genetic variation which usually causes delay in physical, intellectual and language development.
The exact causes of the chromosomal rearrangement and primary prevention of Down syndrome are currently unknown.
Down syndrome is one of the leading clinical causes of cognitive delay in the world - it is not related to race, nationality, religion or socio-economic status.
The incidence of Down syndrome in the United States is estimated to be 1 in every 733 live births.
Of all children born in this country annually, approximately 5,000 will have Down syndrome.
There are approximately 1/4 million families in the United States affected by Down syndrome.
While the likelihood of giving birth to a child with Down syndrome increases with maternal age; nevertheless, 80% of babies with Down syndrome are born to women under 35 years of age, as women in that age group give birth to more babies overall.
There is wide variation in mental abilities, behavior and physical development in individuals with Down syndrome. Each individual has his/her own unique personality, capabilities and talents. 30% - 50% of the individuals with Down syndrome have heart defects and 8% - 12% have gastrointestinal tract abnormalities present at birth. Most of these defects are now correctable by surgery.
Individuals with Down syndrome benefit from loving homes, early intervention, inclusive education, appropriate medical care and positive public attitudes.
In adulthood, many persons with Down syndrome hold jobs, live independently and enjoy recreational opportunities in their communities.
