Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!

Standing and Stepping
He did it!
He's standing on his own! He has taken one step from that position as well!
Walking is JUST around the corner.
We're so proud of you Joaquin and so excited for this next new stage in your development!
