I Know It Has Been Awhile...

I know. It has been awhile. I feel bad for those of you that followed, but frankly we've been quite busy. I will let you know how the girls are at the end of this post. The reason why I am starting this all again is for a sweet boy that was in Phoebe's baby house. His name is Dominick. I personally saw him several times when I was there last year. He was so tiny. So, so tiny. I can remember seeing him and looking into those eyes. He may not have seen me, but I saw him. I knew he had Down syndrome from across the room. I inched closer while playing with Pheebs. One day I got the gumption to ask one of the head caregivers if they could give me information on any children with Down syndrome they happened to have there. They gave me information on two. One is already at home with his Mom and Dad (We love you Jonas!)and the other still waits. She gave me updates on his medical and personality. I promised her that I would help to try and find him a family. So this is my effort. I am his Angel Tree Warrior and I am attempting to raise $1,000 in the month of November for his grant fund. No, we are not attempting to adopt him. Our family size is to big for his region now, but I still love that little boy and want to help his future parents (I know you are out there!!!) by helping to raise money for his adoption. So I am starting today by asking for help. No donation is to big or to small. I am trying to brainstorm a give away. If you would like to donate something to a give away, we would be happy to accept. Just keep sharing his need everyone, please! In the next few days I hope to have some type of fundraiser for him other then just begging all of you for help (which I will graciously continue to do!) Now, the girls! Phoebe and Bella are doing great!!! They both go to the same school as their brothers. They go four days a week. Bella is in extra therapy. Phoebe has grown to 37 inches tall and 30 pounds. Bella is the same weight, but three inches shorter. Phoebe loves to swing and play outside. She is quite the Princess and so strong! At night she has to be held to go to sleep. Phoebe loves our new kitten and loves our dog!! Bella loves to slide outside, but I think her favorite thing to do is be held. She loves to eat. This girl will eat fruits,vegetables, etc. Her favorite drink is Kefir. Bella was watching The Voice with me the other day and just singing along. She was dancing and holding her hand as if it were a mic. These girls have come so far. Totally different kids. I am so thankful for their mothers for giving them life!! Here is a picture of the girls for you. Keep praying for Dominick!!
