Working so hard

Getting rid of the soothers - it was working out well
 
What is this white stuff?
 
And....we're done!
 
No more night oxygen - April/14

Sometimes you need to eat ice cream for breakfast
 
I'm always happy ;)
 
Matching pyjamas :)
 
My best friend
 
Grandpa retired
 
A fun vacation to Radium
 
Dad got a speeding ticket and mom laughed....hysterically!
 
Adele's first birthday
 
Brinley became a Jedi Warrior
 
Sort of learnt how to ride a bike
 
I have a sense of humour
 
I'm gorgeous
 
Making a difference
 
My second love and forever love
 
My second Halloween
 
Stronger and working so hard
 
Silly!

Music Therapy has been one of our best decisions for the girls

Loved Santa
 
Potty training
 
Thank you to all of our friends and family for the love and support over the past year. We are blessed, thankful and grateful. It has been a great year for our family. We have delivered 12 welcome baskets to families who have a baby born with Down syndrome. We have received donations from all over the world. Thank you! We have been featured on Global News and in several magazines. We have done presentations at our local elementary school and we were recently asked to submit photos of both girls to a major clothing company who is taking part in Changing the Face of Beauty. It's been a busy and wonderful year. Our goal is not fame, our goal is to get the word out, to educate, advocate and bring some comfort and joy to families. If you would like to donate or if you have any questions, please feel free to send me an email -
 
Have a wonderful 2015! We are looking forward to making an even bigger difference in the year to come. Stay tuned! :)
Love,
The Collins Family xo
