This was Joy’s week – sick , sick, sick with episodes of great energy that she burned with her sisters and back to sick, sick, sick. She missed the whole week of school. We are all ready to feel better around here!
My wife and I received inspiration that we needed to adopt a girl with Down syndrome. Her name is Abigail Lili JOY Turpin. These are the chronicles of finding and having Joy!

Joy’s Week
I just think she looks cute in a hooded towel! I caught her washing dishes. What a clean house I am going to have one day!
Her Valentine Day’s treats
I was doing PT with Bella and all of a sudden there was Joy covered in a white powdery substance. I assumed it was flour. No, she had taken a box of corn starch and emptied it into a container and then played with it. So fun to clean up!
At sister’s birthday party….piƱata time and Just Dance 3
Swinging with her sisters………..…..sometimes ya just gotta dress up!

Joy’s Week
Therapy
Joy loves our friend’s dog
Sweet girl – I looked outside where everyone was playing. Joy was making these weird faces. I ran out and sadly discovered that Joy was covered in fire ants (in January!!)! The poor thing. She was just sitting there as they bite her and bite her. I striped her, ran inside, and gave her a quick bath. She was already reacting, so some Benadryl to the rescue!
Some school work
Playing around with friends, giant teddy bears, and sisters
Pretending to be asleep Watching the Friday night movie
Becca teaching Joy how to avoid the camera – growl! But I win in the end! How can I help it? They were so cute snuggled up together!
