<br />
Dental appointments have not been a lot of fun for Brianne. The past few years the appointments include her not wanting anything to do with it...refusing to go back to the exam area, needing to be held down to even allow the dentist a chance to glance at her teeth....it's been very stressful for everyone involved. I'm thankful for the staff that has been patient with her and encouraged her and always respected her fears. It wasn't a smooth and simple journey, but today, my brave girl impressed all of us when she went right back there and sat down and cooperated for the ENTIRE exam. She even allowed them to take xrays! <br />
<br />
One neat thing about Down syndrome is that while things may take longer to accomplish and the time and effort needed to work thru things can be exhausting and frustrating and requires patience and perseverance...but when things do come together (and they will!) - the celebration and feeling of accomplishment is so much more meaningful!<br />
<br />
So today as we kick off Down syndrome awareness month - I'm thankful. Thankful for this beautiful daughter of mine who continues to amaze me each day with her sweet spirit and capabilities. Thankful for the awesome dentist and staff that patiently encouraged Brianne. Thankful for all of the amazing people that have been introduced to me by that extra chromosome. Thankful for the love and encouragement from family and friends. Thankful to live in the time we do where possibility and opportunity await individuals with Down syndrome.<br />
<br />
Happy October. Happy Down Syndrome Awareness Month.<br />

2016 Gone and Done</h2>
The year flew by with lots of happenings...since I failed to maintain the blog in a timely and updated fashion....I'll have to settle for a recap of some of the highlights.<br />
<br />
Some noteworthy items include:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<ul>
<a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ubTIQSTEQng/WHra-YCt3wI/AAAAAAAAfNA/BgtWQ3NX0SobEhfLLnuzAbGrX9FIgXP2wCLcB/s1600/20160611_101419.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"></a>
<li style="text-align: left;">Having the opportunity to work part-time! While I'd had ideas of quitting work completely and trying the SAHM gig, when given the chance to stay working at only 3 days a week - I couldn't pass it up. It's been a major adjustment; I had expectations that I would be Super Mom-Super Worker-Super Wife on this new schedule and I haven't mastered any of those (or even come close!)...there still doesn't seem to be enough time to get anything done, I'm swamped at work, terribly behind on my to-do list at home....but I love the flexibility it gives me and the extra time with the kiddos to join them for lunch at school and to attend their school parties, to have the ability to schedule appointments and not worry about how I will get 40 hours in...it's an arrangement that I'm truly, truly, truly thankful for!</li>
<li><div style="text-align: left;">
Mark and I getting away on our first KID FREE vacation together since having kids! We had a sunny and spectacular time in Mexico...and are thrilled that the grandparents enjoyed the time with the little ones....so we'll hope to do that again!</div>

<li>Brianne graduating from KinderFrogs! This school was our safe haven (the bubble!) and most amazing place EVER. It was a tearful/emotional time leaving...but they truly did everything they could to prepare B for Kindergarten - and the world beyond!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li>I attended the National Down Syndrome Convention in Orlando over the summer. This was phenomenal and I wish I could go every year! My favorite session was lead by two individuals, both who had Down syndrome, who presented on how they have achieved independent living. Inspirational and exciting to see the possibilities!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li>Brianne and Bryce no longer require the 'blue step' to reach the light switches...thankfully Brooke still needs it so we don't have to retire it yet!</li>
<li>Brianne and Bryce starting KINDERGARTEN! We are ecstatic that Brianne
is included in a typical classroom and has made friends. Bryce has
adjusted to the new routine, he loves math, and has also made friends. I
love that my part-time schedule allows me to join them for lunch and to
volunteer and attend the class parties and big events.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<li>Christmas was spent at home and it is a magical time of year with little ones that eagerly countdown until Santa's arrival. I loved waking up to hear Bryce whispering "Brianne - Santa came - and he brought your doll house - and it's bigger than I am." </li>

2017 is already plowing ahead with no plans of slowing down. I'm hoping to soak it all in and enjoy it....with goals of writing more, working on developing photography skills, fitting in another kid-free vacation with my love, spending less time mindlessly surfing thru social media, to spend more time reading books for me, spend more time reading books with the kids, I plan to try out new restaurants, new parks, new adventures, I have hopes of removing clutter and getting organized...but also realizing my house may never be 'guest ready/sparkly clean' but to not let that stop be from inviting friends over.<br />
<br />
Here's to making 2017 a year full of love and laughter!<br />

I spent the entire time I was pregnant with Brooke in a panic about how we would possibly handle 3 kids, since it seemed pretty certain we had reached max chaos level with Brianne and Bryce. It still boggles my mind how from the time she arrived she fit right into our family and things seemed to continue on quite smoothly. <br />
<br />
Life with 3 little ones....it's busy, it's crazy, it's hectic, it means the house is always in shambles, the laundry is always piled high, the question of 'what's for dinner - can it just be pizza night?" is asked far too many times...yet amid all that juggling and exhaustion - it's beautiful, it's fabulous, it's fun - and I love it.<br />

Little Brooke, I'm so lucky to be your mommy and absolutely adore seeing the sibling bond between you and Brianne and Bryce....and you certainly have your daddy's love too.<br />

Since Bryce is a pretty huge Wild Kratts fan, when I heard they were going to be in town for a live performance, I splurged on tickets and realized it was worth it when I told him about it and he was counting down the days and anxiously awaiting when he'd get to see the Kratt brothers and wishing for a ride in the Tortuga. </div>

This one-on-one time is something I treasure and try to do with each of the little ones. But even when we don't have the chance to get away on our own - I am trying to focus on being present and in the moment. <br />
<br />
This weekend it was gorgeous outside. Spent Saturday at the zoo, and Sunday was the lazy-around-the-house day. While outside in the backyard I started to ask "What should we do today?" and i stopped myself and said "This is it - this is what we're doing today"....soaking up the sun and enjoying the time together.<br />

I won 4 tickets to the Monster Truck Jam from a simple "like this photo" contest on Instragram for Metroplex Baby and Kids. We debated if we should take Brianne since loud noises aren't her favorite thing....but finally opted to just take her and the ear protection and to try it. So thankful that we did because after she got used to the crazy loud noise she was clapping and exclaiming "Let's do it again!!" - such a fun night....and very thankful Grandma Suzie kept Brooke with her at home!<br />

Brooke is getting close to taking her first steps (it's possible daycare tried to tell me she took her first 2 steps today but I'm choosing to believe it will be this weekend when Mark and I are watching her)... :)<br />

<div>
I'm so thankful for the chance to have pancakes with Santa...such an enjoyable time compared to the long line at the mall for an overpriced photo!</div>

This was the first year that Brianne was excited about Santa so that was a fun treat...she jumped right into his lap and when he asked what she wanted for Christmas she grinned and exclaimed "Cookies!".<br />

Maternity leave has come and gone....I've been back to work for over a month now...yikes...where does the time go! The transition has gone smoother than I would have guessed - but I'm still missing my kiddos like crazy and envious of other places that give mommies far more time with their babies. My leave was jam packed with quality time and adventures - and I loved it. Very thankful that the final week of leave was spent in the Sunshine State - and we survived traveling with 3 children and would even dare to do it again!<br />

<br />
The days have been packed full of fun - especially since we pulled Bryce out of his daycare for the summer. It's been such a treat having the extra time to spend with him and Brooke while I'm still on leave. We've been to the zoo, the splash pad, indoor jump houses, to the airport observation area to watch planes, various parks....and we still have a jam packed agenda until I head back to work in a few weeks.<br />
<br />
Little Brooke is full of smiles and giggles - she gave her first full blown giggle when Brianne was reading a book to her! She's not a fan of tummy time - but sure loves to snuggle with me. I'm totally spoiled by her being such a good baby...she's slept thru the night a few times...and usually is only up once in the night to eat and then quickly goes back to sleep....so very thankful for this since I don't know how I'd survive if she was a night owl!<br />

<br />
Of course, sometimes I'm tired and irritable...but I think that's to be expected given the late night feedings and exhaustion that goes with parenting...but for the most part I'm remembering to take deep breaths and savor these moments - because they are flying by. I find myself snuggling with the little one and it takes a conscious decision to try to shut out the voices that tell me I should be cleaning or organizing or some other item on my to-do list....and I have to remind myself that my #1 job right now is to take care of this little baby girl and to cherish the time with her....(while also trying to keep the house from being overcome with filth and clutter). Some days are a success...other days are met with a "I have NO IDEA what I did all day" and the kitchen sink is overflowing with grossness and laundry was forgotten and is piling up...but the baby was fed, loved, snuggled...and that is a very successful day, right?!<br />
<br />
Here's a glimpse into the fun we've been having:<br />

She is so tiny and precious - I just want to soak it all up...and wish I could box it up and come back to these days since I know they are passing far too quickly...she's already over a week old....how did that happen?!<br />

While I'd had hopes of avoiding a c-section....a wrapped umbilical cord meant that wasn't to be....so it was off to the operating room. Thankful for the amazing doctors and nurses who helped little Brooke enter this world. They all seemed excited to know that we didn't know the gender - so they made sure to say that no he/she words would be said until they let Mark announce it for me. Such a fabulous moment to hear him say "We have a beautiful baby.....GIRL!" - we had been fairly convinced it was a boy - so it was definitely a surprise! <br />

My recovery in the hospital went well....although I was super bummed to miss Brianne's first gymnastics meet, Bryce's t-ball game....and their first ever soccer practice and scrimmage - especially after learning that Bryce scored a goal - but at least daddy took some great photos for me! <br />

I did enjoy the calm of the hospital and maxed out my stay there (partly due to sick kids at home, and partly due to knowing that having hot meals delivered to my bed would soon be a thing of days long gone...) - so I took full advantage of having a call button to get my water refilled or requests for snacks....nursing a baby works up quite the appetite!<br />

<br />
Given the upcoming arrival of Sullivan Baby #3 - I think I was more inclined to really soak up this extra 'bonus' time with the little ones. Of course - the first snow day was jam-packed with various activities/puzzles/adventures/etc....but by Day #2....there was a good amount of iPad and movie watching thrown in there too!<br />
<br />
The first morning of ice/snow we awoke to hear Bryce's feet pitter-pattering thru the house....but then it was quiet and he didn't appear in our room. After a minute I yelled out to ask him where he was, and it was one of the most precious things to hear him reply with "lying in bed, looking out the window at all the snow" - little Texan was mesmerized by the dusting of ice and snow. :) <br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Water Beads! </span></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
If you haven't tried these with your kids - I highly recommend it! They do require supervision since they aren't edible and i'm still dreading the day when the bucket tips over and they spill everywhere...but they are tons of fun and a great sensory bin material!<br />

We bought these at Michael's in the flower section for just a few dollars...great investment!<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">This was an after-Christmas clearance special that we'd bought....and had been waiting for a lazy day to make it. We'd made a Gingerbread house during Christmas break...and I'd bugged Mark since he was 'fixing' things as the kids put them in various places......so this time Mark said he'd leave it to me and the kiddos. :) </span><br />

Potty!” Brianne is awake and wants to head to
the bathroom. I sit her on the potty seat, close the door and listen to
see if it will be a successful potty morning – it is! Smiles and hugs
follow as we celebrate, put on a Pull-Up and wash hands.</span><br />

time. Ask the kids if they want cereal or waffles.
Bryce requests toast. Get milk and a banana for them. “Toast done?”
Bryce asks as Brianne is pulling at my hand and asking for Elmo. Daddy
joins us in the kitchen and starts getting Brianne’s lunch together.</span><br />

chows down on breakfast and Brianne drinks her
milk and takes a bite of toast but quickly says, “Play!” I entice her
to stay in the chair for a few more minutes by letting her watch a video
on my phone while I comb her hair and put it in a ponytail.</span><br />

is clothed, shoed and fed (no small task!).
Kiss goodbye to Mark and a big hug to Brianne. Bryce and I are out the
door to his day care while Mark takes Brianne to her Pre-K class at
KinderFrogs School at TCU.</span><br />

and asking for Elmo. I oblige and put on the TV, so I can finish getting
dinner together. Bryce is asking for markers
… Brianne asks for milk … Bryce asks for juice … Brianne asks for potty
… Bryce asks for train … Somehow, dinner comes together.</span></span></div>

Note: I cheated a little on this post since I wrote this a while back (Brianne is now almost 5, and Bryce is 3 ½) for the DFW Thrive magazine (<a href="http://www.dfwchild.com/Thrive/features/216/A-Day-in-the-Life-of-Adrienne-Sullivan" target="_blank">http://www.dfwchild.com/<wbr></wbr>Thrive/features/216/A-Day-in-<wbr></wbr>the-Life-of-Adrienne-Sullivan</a>)
– it’s funny to see how things have changed since I wrote this. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Brianne is out of
pull-ups and no longer needs help getting on the potty (although she
will ask for help if she wants to string you along – little lady knows
how to work people!). </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sleeping/wake-ups have changed....Brianne has now started heading
to our bed around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1760321456" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">1am</span></span>…she’ll wander in and climb in the middle of us and we are too sleepy to send her back to her room (bad habit - but really like the snuggles...provided she's not kicking us and laying sideways)…Bryce will show up around <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1760321457" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">6am</span></span>
and ask “why does Brianne always beat me in here?” and snuggle in for a
bit. They now argue over what to
watch on Netflix while I take a shower – Brianne requests Barney, Bryce
wants Chuggington – they both seem okay when we put on Curious George. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We still have the same typical weekday morning and evening chaos…they
have just grown and are now more independent…”I
do it” is a common phrase from Brianne – along with “keep trying – get
better” which she learned from a Daniel Tiger episode (she would be a
serious TV junkie if we let her…but we try to limit her screen time as
much as we can).</div>

I have recently proclaimed that our Family Motto
is: <b>“We Thrive On Chaos</b>”……which is likely due to the various nonstop-activities
we add to the calendar, whether it is a Board Meeting for the Down
Syndrome Partnership of North Texas, Gymnastics
class for Brianne, T-ball for Bryce, Dinner with friends, a playdate at
Gymboree….there are very few days of ‘nothing’….but I think chaos is
something that exists when there are children involved – <b>extra
chromosomes or not!</b>AdrienneSullivanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09738348844903479180noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-622167726296525117.post-66041751845718748662015-02-22T20:03:00.000-08:002015-02-22T20:03:39.181-08:00Christmas Magic - 2014!<div style="text-align: left;">

<br />
We booked two nights at a hotel (hotel choice was based on finding one that had an indoor pool so that we could fully enjoy the little 'getaway') and headed off with friends that also have two little kids. Impressive is that we all had a good time - and would probably attempt other such getaways in the future...even with adjoining rooms. :)<br />
<br />
Given that we weren't traveling by airplane - I had to chuckle that I probably packed more for a 2 day adventure then is usually packed for a 2-week getaway....the luxury of just throwing items in the car and not lugging thru an airport was a nice perk!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Dinosaur World!</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">It was a brisk, but sunny morning to visit <a href="http://dinosaurworld.com/texas/" target="_blank">Dinosaur World</a> - and thankfully it did warm up as the day went on - so we had a nice time on the Dino Walk and on the Fossil Dig...and the kids were quite happy on the playground.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">When we finished with the dinosaur fun, we headed to Dairy Queen for a quick lunch and let the kids run out some energy at the indoor playground. We then decided to head to the Fossil Rim Safari - since we learned that if you go one day, you can return for free the next day as long as you arrive before 10am.</span><br />
<br />
<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fossil Rim Wildlife Center</span><span style="font-size: x-large;"> </span></h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><a href="http://www.fossilrim.org/" target="_blank">Fossil Rim Wildlife Center</a> is a great place to visit if you are in the Glen Rose area! We have been a few times before, but this was the first visit for us as a family. The little ones thought it was quite the treat to be out of their carseats and enjoying some time in the front seat....and to help with the driving - and having various animals right beside your car (and even with their heads inside the car!) made for a memorable safari drive! </span></span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">We throughly enjoyed this little getaway! Two nights in a hotel was a nice break from being home where you consistently have things that you 'should be doing'....like laundry or cleaning or other chores....so it was a very nice treat to just get away for some quality time with the family and our friends! </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-weight: normal;">The
little ones really enjoyed the hotel stay as well! The pool was a bit
too cold...but they were able to enjoy the hot tub - and Brianne did
brave the pool with me and enjoyed jumping in and paddling around!
Daddy did well by bringing a tent which the kids enjoyed having a 'fort'
to play in during our stay. </span></span></div>

Apparently the thing to do after returning from a 2 week vacation is to pack up and move......or so that's what we did. We got home around midnight after a great trip, and the next morning we rented a big ol' moving truck and a few dear friends (who we are forever indebted too!) helped move furniture and other belongings....and we hadn't pre-packed a single thing.........oye!<br />

The move was just about 8 miles from our old house....but it's a very exciting upgrade since we now have a YARD (previously we'd been on a golf course and stray golf balls were a common occurrence and the yard was more of a concrete slab), and it has an extra bedroom (which will come in handy.....given the upcoming arrival of Baby #3 in March!),<br />

<br />
and it has a PLAYROOM (okay, maybe it's supposed to be a dining room, but right now it's the perfect place for all the toys and it's nice to have a family room that's not looking like a toy store that had a tornado whip thru....although at times...that still happens, although mentioning that toys that aren't in the playroom might end up in the garage or garbage seems to help corral the toys back to where they belong!<br />

Some parks are ruled out as "not good for one parent with 2 kids" due to the crazy amount of climbing apparatus and various contraptions they are climbing around...but definitely a park to return to if you can be 1-on-1 with the hooligans!<br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Our amazing old neighbors! The new location does seem to have a plethora of children (halloween trick-or-treating was super busy!) , but we haven't become close friends to the point we can just drop by for a random playdate and share a few beverages with them...or the sweet neighbors that would randomly call and say "meet me at the door - i have food/cookies for you"..........but I'm guessing with a little more time we'll become more connected with the new neighbors...and hopefully still stay in touch with the old ones!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">Boopas Bagels and Los Molcajetes and the grocery store being a short little walk away.....those were the days!</span></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small;">And that's about it..... :) </span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps there is a bit more on the "things we miss" list....but really - the new house seems to be an amazing fit for us with a great, functional layout and a yard and more space....ahhhh - we are settling in and thrilled to be here! </span></div>

We enjoyed a family trip to Canada and NY. So thankful that my sister-in-law picked the Fall to get married and gave us a reason to make the trek up North! I hadn't seen a 'real' Fall since I was in high school - so to get back during that time of year to see the leaves at the peak of changing colors was a special treat - in addition to seeing family and friends!<br />
<br />
Our trip involved some extreme traveling (pretty sure any travels involving 2 children is fairly extreme!), but we put a lot of miles on our rental car (something about flying into Detroit and driving past Toronto, then a 4 hour journey North towards the French River for a beautiful wedding, and then down to Western NY, and then back to Detroit....) - but we survived it and it went quite smoothly! So grateful that it was a fabulous trip - and included one of the most beautiful weddings EVER!<br />
<br />
So without further ado.............a bit of a picture recap of our adventure.<br />

We enrolled Brianne in the same daycare where Bryce is going while KinderFrogs was out for the summer. It was scary to send her off, but we figured it would be good for her to be immersed in a class of 'typical' kids, and it was for just over a month. Happy to report that it went GREAT!<br />
<br />

Brianne adjusted really well to her new class. I think it was hardest on Bryce since we would drop them off in the same class in the morning, but shortly after that Brianne would go to the 'big kid classroom' and Bryce would tell us he was sad when she left.<br />

Brianne would come home and tell me the names of a few of her new friends, and she typically seemed busy and engaged when I would pick her up. I am so thankful that the teachers welcomed her to the classroom with such enthusiasm and reassured me that she was doing great and was fitting right in.<br />
<br />
I loved seeing the pictures from the 4th of July parade posted to a bulletin board! Brianne came home that day and said "March, March!" :)<br />

When it was time to return to KinderFrogs, they truly seemed sad to see her go and said she's welcome back any time! Her class made a gigantic card for her with all their hand prints that said "We'll Miss You Brianne" - so sweet!<br />

Brianne has come with me to pick up Bryce a few times and one day we were walking out and a little boy from her old class saw her and said "Hi Brianne, I haven't seen you in a while" - when I told him that B was only there for the summer he seemed genuinely sad that she wouldn't be back, and other times Brianne has seen old friends and they have given her big hugs - so it was very uplifting to see that she made new friends!<br />
<br />
I know that a huge part of why she did so well was because of all the hard work and high expectations that KinderFrogs has set for her. We are so very luck that she is able to attend this school where all of the staff understand that people with Down syndrome face challenges, but that they look past them and set the bar high and push each student to excel. I know the clock is ticking away until B graduates from KinderFrogs. We will eventually have to leave this safe bubble and venture out to new territory where we will have to actively advocate and may need to explain to teachers and staff why our child can do things and help them to see that Down syndrome is just a part of who she is. It will be scary - but I know that we'll get thru it. This summer's trial run with inclusion was a wonderful first experience of dipping our toes in and testing the waters. I am so very proud of my little lady!!<br />

We celebrated at the Glenview Church in the fabulous Indoor Play Area that they have. Bryce was excited to invite lots of friends, including daycare buddies, and we were thrilled that so many of them joined us for the party! Bryce was super happy that his best buddy that had recently moved and left his daycare made it to the party. The two of them are trouble together and act more like brothers...but they were inseparable at the party and it really helped make it a special event for him!<br />

Horrible picture quality...partly due to a cruddy camera, partly due to a lack of photography skillz, and partly due to kids that were on the move! But blurry pictures are better than no pictures...<br />

The play area was a big tree house with lots of tunnels and slides - so
the kids did a lot of running and climbing - and they were ready for
cake and treats after all that exercise.<br />

When we sang Happy Birthday to him, he froze and had a look of awe on his face. I think he was taking it all in and felt like a special birthday boy should! Such a fun age to see him thriving on all the b-day attention and excited to share the day with good friends!</div>

We partied with friends at ASI Gymnastics in Keller – and it was superb! A HUGE thank you goes to the amazing coaches that welcomed us and made sure Brianne was showered with attention on her special day. The children loved jumping on the trampoline, barreling/swinging/sliding/<wbr></wbr>leaping/etc. into the giant foam pit, parachute play, and my favorite part was when Coach James had the kiddos pretending to be different animals and running around and then diving to the ground and ‘hiding’ - it was priceless!<br />

I often wonder “should I mention that Brianne has Down syndrome” before attending various events – and usually I conclude “am I also going to mention that she has blonde hair and loves Elmo and her favorite food is chicken nuggets”...because it’s really just a part of who she is; Down syndrome certainly doesn’t define her………..so I generally opt not to mention it unless it’s on a medical questionnaire and I’m checking the box on a medical form. That being the case, we arrived to her party and I’d given them no prior notice that she’s chromosomally enhanced, and they didn’t miss a beat and simply treated her like any other <span class="il">Birthday</span> kiddo! I’m so incredibly grateful for that. Inclusion, acceptance, respect……..we received that at her party - and it was priceless!<br />

Many of these <span class="il">birthday</span> party packages are simply a ‘free-for-all’ where the kids run wild and crazy...but here, it was a very structured and group event where everyone moved together to the trampolines (and they tried their hardest for it to be one child per trampoline….we followed the rules for the most part...at least we didn't have any collisions!) and then it was the game of pretending to be various animals, and then the foam pit jumping which was probably the favorite of all the little ones. Seeing two coaches take this group of rambunctious little kids that they'd never met before through various games and activities was super impressive. Definitely thankful that the staff was so great!<br />

And the finale was a special recognition of the birthday girl where she
was presented with a medal and showered with additional love from the
coaches and her friends.<br />

This was the first year that Brianne has been into <span class="il">Birthday</span>s, so it was wonderful that she was receiving so much attention. For her 3 prior years, the <span class="il">birthday</span> song sent her into hysterics, but this year – she was so excited and clapped and grinned when we sang to her.</div>

My heart was happy as I watched Coach James have Brianne stand up on the picnic table bench and have Brianne tell her friends “Thank you” for joining us to celebrate her special day. He made certain the birthday girl was treated to a super special day. A HUGE thank you to ASI Gymnastics for the AMAZING celebration!<br />
<br />
Happy Happy Birthday, Brianne!!!! We love you soooooooooo very much! </div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">A Magical Mother's Day!</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">I was treated to a most excellent Mother's Day. It was a perfect mix of quality time with the family and a little getaway of peace and quiet and pampering (aka: a much needed pedicure and manicure!).</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">I awoke to enjoy a hot waffle and fresh brewed coffee. Called my wonderful mom and wished her a very happy Mother's Day. Sooooo looking forward to her upcoming visit in June. I love you, Mom!!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"> Then we ventured off to ride the <a href="http://www.fpmt.us/" target="_blank">Forest Park Miniature Train</a>.</span><br />

And then we made a quick stop to fly a kite.......and the little ones loved chasing it around...and I loved watching how happy and excited they were!<br />

We stopped at the Food Truck Park for lunch - hadn't been there before so it was neat to check it out and enjoy some yummy grub!<br />
<br />
Then it was home for naps...and I headed off to enjoy some down time and to have my toe nails painted so I'll be ready for flip flop season!<br />
<br />
We opted out of heading to our favorite Mexican restaurant since we didn't want to battle the crowds that were already lined up...but Mark managed to whip up a 'Margarita For Mommy'. :) Yum!<br />

Grandma Suzie came over and we had a scrumptious dinner of grilled steaks and a salad (made with lots of veggies from our first time trying out <a href="http://www.bountifulbaskets.org/" target="_blank">Bountiful Baskets</a> co-op!) And then we played outside on the patio for a while with chalk and bubbles and cars and a bucket of water (aka: a car wash) - and we played some t-ball.<br />

<br />
I'd say it was a perfect day. :)<br />
<br />
I just love being a mommy soooo very much. Yes - it's exhausting. Yes - it's frustrating at times....yes - it's hard work - but it is also so very rewarding, so much fun, and such a privilege. <br />

A few weeks ago Bryce's class at daycare planted these seeds - and Bryce was so excited to see it growing. We brought it home the other week, and on Mother's Day, daddy and Bryce replanted it in a larger planter - so we'll see if we can keep it growing. Supposedly it's a sunflower...which happens to be a favorite of mine - so I'm hoping it keeps on growing!! :)<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Hola, Mexico!!! </span></h2>
<br />
My brother-in-law and the girl of his dreams got married in sunny, beautiful Mexico - so we packed up our sunscreen and swimsuits and joined them for the family fun and festivities.<br />
<br />
Sending a big ol' CONGRATULATIONS to the newlyweds! What a beautiful celebration and wishing them all the happiness in the world! What a stunning bride and such a treat to see such a happy couple - love you guys!!! Brianne and Bryce are so very lucky to have Uncle Dan-O and Auntie Krista!<br />

Traveling with two small children is exhausting - but also such a
treat. To see their excitement as they play on the sandy beach, huge smiles as they jump into the pool, and to see them spending
quality time with aunties and uncles and Nana and Papa and making new
friends - was totally worth it.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Celebrating World Down Syndrome Day!</span></h2>
World Down Syndrome Day falls on March 21st (3/21....since individuals with DS have 3 copies of the 21st chromosome) and we were at the beach - so that's where we celebrated. I'm so very thankful for my little girl who was made with a little extra goodness!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">My Favorite Sunrise </span></h2>
We made it down to the beach for a few sunrises - but this was my favorite sunrise - ever! I hadn't intended to let the kids get in the water and get all icky since they were still basically in pajamas - but they sat right down in the wet sand and start digging and playing and I just let them go to work. It was such a beautiful morning and they had a blast - and hosing them off was simple. <br />
<br />
When I pointed out the sunrise to the kids, Bryce watched it and went back to playing. Then a few moments later he said "the sun came out of the water? It's wet now". I just love hearing about the world from a 2-year old. I failed to give him a proper scientific lesson to describe that the sun actually doesn't move or go in the water....I responded with the first thing I could think of which was: "well - the sun is really, really hot - so it's not wet anymore" - being a parent means you never know what your kids are going to say - and you probably don't have the right answers - but I guess you just do your best...and hopefully he'll have a great teacher some day who will explain sunrises to him. :)<br />

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Wedding Day!</span></h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The
wedding was beautiful - and I was the proud mama as my kiddos were part
of the wedding party! Their outfits were to die for (suspenders, bow tie, and hat for Bryce!) and Krista did a fabulous job MAKING the flower girls' tutu dresses! </span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: x-large;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Bryce and Jonah did a fabulous job carrying the sign down...unfortunately - this is as far as Bryce made it because as soon as he saw me, he dropped the sign and bolted straight to me - leaving poor Jonah to carry the sign on his own. :) Brianne might not have been too enthusiastic about her job of walking down the aisle..(perhaps she refused to partake in such things) - but shedid understand that at the reception her job was to dance the night away - and she danced her little heart out! They definitely fulfilled the role of looking super duper adorable!</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">A HUGE thank you goes to my brother-in-law-to-be-come-September, Will, who captured some fabulous photos for us! (Note: prior to going on vacation I said to Mark - 'Should we bring our good camera' - and his reply was 'Nah - we have enough to pack. Will's going to be there with his camera') :)</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">They just keep growing!!! </span></h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="font-size: small;">There are days when I drop them off at school, and by the time I pick them up - they've grown. Grown taller...and wiser! They keep surprising me with new skills, new songs, new words - such a treat to see them growing and learning!</span></span><br />

<b><span style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-large;">CATIA IS <strike>MIA</strike> BACK!!!!!!</span></span></span></b></h3>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Well, it's been almost a year since this guy disappeared without a trace...but last week we received a phone call from a nearby vet asking us if we have an orange cat because someone had brought him into the office because he had a sore paw and was hobbling around. WHAT?!!!! Yes - we HAD an orange cat - but he went missing and we thought he was long gone and had mourned his loss...but nope - the little bugger was just living the life in an apartment complex about 8 miles north of where we live! (Microchips are amazing for tracking a lost pet that turns up at a vet office!).</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Had he not gotten a bum foot - he'd still be at that apartment complex, since he'd been loved, (renamed Simba), and apparently well fed since he's gained weight! They first were telling us that the cat might need a $4000+ surgery if there was a break or might need to have his leg splinted for a few months....WHAT? We just found out our cat is alive...but, o-by-the-way....hopefully you planted a $$ tree? Thankfully, keeping him locked in the bathroom so he's forced to rest, taking some anti-inflammatory meds, and lots of love - he seems to be recovering really well and is starting to walk on the bum paw again - so it was likely just a bad sprain that is healing! Woo hoo - our cat is back! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Now the fear is that he'll run off since he's lived a life without 2 monster pugs or two little kids poking and chasing after him...but my fingers are crossed that he'll return to his neighborhood cat status and be mostly the outdoor cat...but still return to us.........so we'll see how his big release goes, likely in a few more weeks after he's healed completely. It's just unbelievable and so exciting that he's BACK!!!! </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;">Welcome back, CATIA!!!! We missed you!</span></span><br />

And so - the following tribute i previously wrote to honor the kitty was a bit too early....and now rather hysterical given that he is purring contently and doing well. <br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;"> </span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-07OEuOve8_A/Ue3oML64B0I/AAAAAAAAPVU/yUv9okZQT-8/s1600/100_2123.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-07OEuOve8_A/Ue3oML64B0I/AAAAAAAAPVU/yUv9okZQT-8/s640/100_2123.jpg" height="480" width="640" /></a></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">We
had the most amazing orange tabby cat for almost 7 years. He came to
us as a stray in our old neighborhood. When we finally decided that we
were claiming him and put a collar on him, he came home the very next
day with a busted-up-super-swollen foot that required a trip to the vet -
welcome to the joys of pet ownership and vet bills. :) But he was ours
- and we were happy.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Initially
we didn't have a cat/doggy door - so we would just open the bedroom
window to let him in and out. Somehow we developed a system that when
he was ready to go outside he would knock juggling balls off the
dresser. If we were too lazy to get up and open the window by the time
the 3rd ball dropped - watch out - anything else on the dresser was
being swatted to the ground.</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;">At
first (okay - for at least the first 5 years) I was always panicking
that he was gone. I would cry to Mark that he was gone (for real this
time) and Mark would go outside and give a few whistles and a few
moments later - Catia would come leaping over the fence and be home. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When we moved to our current neighborhood - we really tried to make him into an indoor cat. </div>

The
first few days in the new house he was okay - but then he got stir
crazy...and he climbed on top of the counter, on to the fridge, onto the
top cupboards and knocked over one of those decorative olive-oil-pepper
glass jars from a height of about 14 feet...which likely made quite the
CRASH when it slammed onto the kitchen floor and cracked - leaving a
very potent olive oil and pepper and garlic stench in the kitchen - and a
nice chip in the floor (which is still there and makes me smile when i
see it). So after that incident we decided he was meant to try his luck
outside - and he fared well. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
It
wasn't long before the neighbors knew him - and most of them loved
him. (Perhaps not the neighbors that worked in their flower beds since
Catia was never much of a litter box cat....which we didn't mind!). I
loved pulling into the driveway and he would come scampering from a
neighbor's yard to greet me. </div>

He
occasionally would go on sprees of bringing us 'gifts'. There was one
week where I would come home and either find feathers scattered
everywhere - or a bird flying around the house that must have gotten
free after being brought in the doggy/kitty door. My all time favorite
was when I arrived home to find a beautiful orange and purple bird that I
first feared was someone's pet, perched on a window...but after a
little research - I learned that Catia had brought me a male painted
bunting - very cool - and a great little venture into the bird watching
world right from my living room. I'm fairly certain avid bird watchers
would be jealous of my close encounter.</div>

One
of the first nights that Brianne was home, Catia brought a baby bunny
into her room (and I may have started screaming at 2am when i saw the
fluffy bunny tail) - but that was a 'gift' for the new baby - he was a
thoughtful cat to welcome her home with a gift.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The
cat and dogs got along rather well - until the kids came along.
Apparently the dogs were bored and lacking attention so they took to
chasing the cat - thus the cat spent the past few years in the front of
the house - avoiding the monster pugs.</div>

<h2>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Neighborhood Walks </span></h2>
<span style="font-size: small;">One of
my favorite things about Catia was that he would join us for our
neighborhood walks. He would stay near by - trodding along the sidewalk
with us, or stalking thru the neighbor's bushes - but always keeping
pretty close. </span><br />

Since
the kids were greeted by Catia practically every time we entered and
exited the house - I credit him with helping Brianne learn to sign and
say "cat". </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
He
was such a great pet - so much easier to care for than our monster
pugs. When we went on vacation we would ask a neighbor to check in on
him...but really we just needed to leave out a bunch of food and water
and he was fine (and probably spent a major portion of his time with a
nearby neighbor who took him in as his own from time to time!). </div>

My Dad and Catia</h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The
true test and proof that he was an amazing cat - is this picture of my
dad petting Catia. My dad is NOT a cat person - but he thought Catia
was okay.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
True
story: when I was younger, we had a barn cat. She stayed out in the
barn and was fed - but rarely pet or paid attention to. I remember
taking her to get her yearly shots with my dad. While I waited in the
car with the dogs, my dad took the cat in. A few moments passed, and
then he came back to the car and asked "what's the cat's name?". I can
still giggle at the fact that my dad had no idea that her name was
Crystal and was stumped as he tried to fill out the vaccination
paperwork. To say the least - he is not a cat person, but he thought
Catia was alright (I'd go as far as saying he liked him, even though he
might not admit it!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h2 class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strike>Farewell Catia</strike></h2>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strike><span style="font-size: small;">While
Catia had some serious street smarts to last as long as he did.....over
a month ago he vanished and we haven't seen him since. For a while we
maintained hope that he would reappear, having simply been off visiting a
neighbor or on a big cat adventure. When the neighbor that often took
him in came knocking on our door to ask if we had seen him - I knew
Catia was really gone for good. Every time I'd pull in the driveway a
sad pang would shoot thru me when he didn't come to greet me. I was out
for a walk a few weeks after he disappeared - and I spotted a painted
bunting - the orange and purple bird that he brought home once - and I
teared up and smiled, thinking it was Catia's way of saying goodbye -
and I knew then that he really wasn't coming back.</span></strike></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strike><br /></strike></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<strike><span style="font-size: small;">Farewell Catia - you were the best kitty cat we ever could have hoped for! </span></strike></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
------------------------------------------------------<br />I'm ecstatic that it wasn't a farewell - welcome back, kitty!!!! We missed you!</div>

Weren't we just partying like it was 1999??????? Oye.....time goes by far too fast - but since the clocks don't seem to be slowing down and we keep flipping the calendar pages.....guess I'll just do my best to cram as much fun as we can into each day.<br />
<br />
<br />
New Year's Eve was perfection. We toasted with the kid's before they went to bed - and it was such a thrill to enjoy this with the little ones. Best sparkling cider I've ever sipped!<br />

Grandma Suzie babysat (THANK YOU Suzie!!!), so Mark and I headed out with no real plans. We started out with a sushi dinner. YUM. I heart sushi, but it seems all sushi restaurants are fairly chill and quiet places, which means I don't see them as kid friendly - so sushi is usually just a rare date night treat.<br />
<br />
During dinner we discussed how we should ring in the new year....we were both tired so we thought going home sounded good - but we didn't want to be ridiculed for not staying out...so we kept pondering it. We could go see a movie...but who wants to ring in the New Year watching a movie. All of a sudden Mark declared - "we have to go - get in the car - you drive and I'll navigate."...he'd found a movie at the drive-in that would be done at 11:45 - giving us just enough time to get downtown Fort Worth - perfect!<br />
<br />
We enjoyed the drive-in experience (despite the fact that perhaps we forgot to turn the car on since we were so into the movie so the battery might have died and required a quick recharge before continuing to watch said movie....details) - and then it was a quick trip downtown as soon as it was over. We found a great parking place and walked to Sundance Square...just in time for the big countdown to 2014.<br />
