Easter Weekend

 

Banks Farm Easter Egg Hunt 

 We had a very low key Easter Weekend.  SW and I went to the Banks' Easter Egg Hunt and had a ton of fun. The farm is amazing.  We loved getting to celebrate David's bday and hunting eggs.  We went to church on Sunday and went to ESG to eat.  We decided to skip the club this year bc Saddler was not ready for such a big group!  We had a great time celebrating Jesus and know our little family has so much to be thankful for this year!!!  He has risen and we are blessed!!!

Spring Break, Friends, and Cousins

SW took an art class with her buddies Liza and Stella over spring break!!  It was awesome and the girls had a blast spending the week together!  Austin, Deb, and Madison came to visit over spring break and the weather was nice one day so they had a blast playing in our backyard!  I LOVE our new space we have for the kiddos to get to play!  We have had lots of family time and we have loved every minute of it!!  SW even had a sleep over with our buddy Ella!  She had so much fun she didn't want to come home!!

Its good to be home......:)

We are so happy to be home and starting our new normal.  SW has been great and has decided we will keep our little brother.  We have been surrounded by family and friends!!  We are so thankful for our support system and everyone that has reached out to us!! We appreciate the most all the PRAYERS!!!

Big Sister, New Look

A couple of weeks before Saddler was born SW kept saying she wanted to cut off all of her hair!  Let me just say I NEVER thought she would do it!  This sweet girl was so excited we got the VIP treatment and headed up to dead swanky on a Sunday morning.  All of us girls got fancy hair and SW felt like a princess!!  Sweet girl did not see a mirror she didn't like that day!!! :) Taylor is such a rock star!!  I Love FANCY hair/therapy sessions I get with my BFF every 5 weeks!!  It was a much needed girl day with my sweet girl and our besties!!

Our Super Hero

Welcome to the family little guy!!

 Finally after a week we get to go home as a family of 4!!

 I think I will keep him......

 We love that uncle mitchell was here!

 My Whole Heart!

Saddler Hill Cooper joined our family on March 11th!!  We are so excited our family is now complete!  We know God has a plan for our family and we are ready for our future!  There are lots of unknowns but we will continue to pray and know everyday is a new day!! We love this sweet boy with all of our heart!!

We made the decision early in my pregnancy to share with our family and friends that Saddler has Down Syndrome. I had a very healthy pregnancy and when he was born we felt blessed beyond belief.  I felt this bond to him the moment he was placed in my arms.  I have always known I would love this sweet boy but the feeling of knowing God chose me to be his mom gave me such a feeling of pride.  I KNOW this sweet boy is going to change the world!  He is the most calm and content baby.  I feel such a closeness to him and the hardest part for me is that know I can't protect him every second of every day!  I feel this way as well about SW!  I saw this quote not too long ago and I think it sums up how I see my future:  Children with special needs aren't sent to special parents they make parents special!!!


SW is adjusting each day to our new little family!  She had a hard time adjusting at first but I think she has decided her little brother is here to stay!!  I can not wait to watch my two kiddos form a sibling bond!

I can not begin to express how grateful and blessed B, SW, and I are by all the love and support we have gotten from our family and friends!  The entire pregnancy I felt surrounded by so much love and prayers.  I can say with certainty I don't know what each day holds for our family but I do know each day will be filled with love and prayers and that is all I can ask for!!
