Emma is 4 years old and loves all living creatures, especially the little buggys. She found her little bug friend at the park and named him Charlie. After about 10 minutes or so she lost Charlie and was devastated.

We love to go to the local skate park and watch my son do his magic on his board, it is amazing.

On my boys first visit to the country fair, they braved their first roller coaster.  Their expressions are priceless!

My granddaughter is always such a happy girl and loves to pose for pictures but capturing this exciting moment when we decided to do something special in New York City was priceless

Just simply enjoying the summer breeze with the bestest mommy ever, who wouldn't smile!

Sweet nap my son and our yorkie Penny 

Under the rocks are snails and we can fills our pockets and let them go one by one all day in a brand new place.

My youngest son loves to joke and he’s great at making me laugh. Here we’re on a mother/son vacation and he’s making a face without me knowing it since he’s so excited to be on vacation. 

This is my sister, the mother of the bride and her sweet hubby dancing the night away and enjoying their daughters big day!  It was truly a beautiful and special event! 

I think it's safe to say they're #KindaWeirdMoments.

 I babysit for my grandchildren Edgar and Maya three times a week they are my joy. We have so much fun together. You’re always playing games watching cartoon movies together coloring they keep me going day after day and it makes me feel so young. There’s nothing like grandchildren, they are the best. 

On a fall Sunday morning I took my 4 year old to the local park to try his hand with a fishing pole.  In 5 minutes he had his first catch!

The evil queen

Never forget to smile.

Our Gatsby themed wedding brought all ages to the dance floor. That's our little ring bearer, Benjamin, having a great time with his Auntie Grace. Even after taking photos all day in brisk Chicago weather, Benji still kept the party going!

Having you was a dream......i hope we can enjoy this journey

There are plenty of fish in the sea. Luckily, I caught you and made you into a delicious sushi roll! 

Our first trip together in SF

This was at an annual event, "Walk in the Park" to celebrate awareness and understanding of individuals with Down Syndrome. This photo was captured of my son who has overcome so many huge obstacles in his short 5 years of life. He is the love of our lives. 

These two inspire me to go out and play outdoors. 

I love my baby brother.

Ava, Fall 2017

Exactly 12 hours ago, we were enjoying our very first morning together, alone, in our new home. It was raining, and he “watered” flowers and “washed” his hands through the open window. So very happy; this moment was all I ever imagined, and all I could ever have hoped for. Yet tonight, I’m in my bed with a feverish little boy resting on my chest. While a fever is not at all a big deal, we never want to see our children unwell. Just goes to show how things can sometimes change in an instant. It’s so important to be grateful for all that we have, always. To push the trivial things aside and simply recognize all that truly matters.
