How it all began

Once upon a time, not so long ago, my husband and I were blessed with the news that we were going to have a baby.  Little did we know that this child was going to open up a whole new world of experiences and touch our hearts forever.  I will never forget the day when the doctor told us we were going to have a little boy.

A little boy that we could call our own.

A little boy that would grow up to be a man.

A little boy that would put a smile on my face every morning.

A little boy with Down Syndrome.

"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.  I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
-Psalm 139:13-14

I fully believe that MY God does NOT make mistakes.

Phoenix is my proof of that.

This is Phoenix at 6 months old.

Phoenix after the unique bird that continues to live with a renewed youth.

Phoenix because we knew our child would fly past the stars to reach goals we never thought possible.

Bright blue eyes, blonde hair, and the biggest smile you have ever seen in your life.

Our little Phoenix.

This little child with a huge heart has taught my husband and I SO much about the condition he has and has never ceased to amaze us with that he can accomplish.  Life with a child that has a disability can be difficult, but a parent must not take the time they have with their child for granted.  A child is a precious gift and you should cherish every moment you have with them.  We love Phoenix with all our heart and would not trade our experiences with him for anything in this world!

Phoenix just turned 7 this past June.

He is a healthy, happy, NORMAL, little boy.

Yes, I do admit we have had our struggles and our ups and downs. 

But our journey is a special one.

A special little boy with a special little story.

Come join us on our journey---we are all just walking with Phoenix.
