World Down Syndrome Day

World Down Syndrome Day wasn't quite the same this year without our DSA community and the big party.  (I need to work on my networking in Cheyenne.)  BUT we do still have the best reason to celebrate so we moved the table, played some Baby Shark, did some dancing, jumping, picture snapping and giggling. 

We love this girl to pieces and couldn't imagine our lives without her or an extra chromosome.  









What's Happenin'

Well, throwing is obviously still a thing.
 Good thing she's cute though!
 We put together a counting game that ended in a hug every single time.  Counting is hit or miss, but the hugs were spot on.  

 Ready, set, go.....

 Cora wanted a picture of her special ice cream cone and I was all in.  
 We had a bit of a blizzard, 2 snow days, and some fun snow drifts.  
The older girls played outside for quite a while, but Indie preferred her snow at the heated table.

 While other people were grabbing groceries and other emergency supplies for the blizzard, I ran to Lowe's and picked up some deep blue/green paint.  Milan, Eden, and I love it.  Cora thinks it's too blue and Dave thinks it's a waste of wainscoting haha.  
 Indie pretended to want a hug, but made a quick grab for the phone.  She's a clever one and tries the same tactics at Milan's volleyball games.  She knows I won't let her run wild so she pretends to make friends with strangers, sit in their laps, then uses the first opportunity to run away. 
 Remodeled the kitchen with new appliances.  It seemed like a great idea until I realized the ice cream just became accessible to a certain little fan.  
 Cora LOVED St. Patrick's Day!  Even though she wasn't able to catch a very desired leprechaun, they did leave some candy.  Plus she got to wear her cute dress and switch her earrings for the first time.  

 Indie puckering up for a kiss with a little extra tongue action.  

 Love when this lady pretends to fall asleep with fake snoring and everything.  
  
Baby chicks, round 2.  This is my chick, Survivor.  Sad story, but this chick is sweet.

Baby Chicks

I'm not sure that these baby chicks are thrilled to have joined our family, but our girls LOVE them.  They have been hanging out in the sun room for the past couple of days with a constant stream of visitors.  We have Junior Cora, Hoppie (Eden), Salmonella (Nella for short from Milan), and Bak-Bak (Indie) along with a few extras.  Just in case, you know, anything happens to these little gals.
