Regression

 We are afraid our girl has Down Syndrome Regression Syndrome.  It's heart breaking to watch.

Talent Show at Camp

Tonight was the Talent Show.  Joy, of course, did a song from Lego Friends!

Summer Camp

 

Wisdom Teeth

Poor Joy had impacted wisdom teeth. We have been working on getting them out since December! It finally happened on Wed, June 12th. 

She was so excited to go!  She wasn't so excited afterwards - poor love.  Surprisingly, though, she wasn't in that much pain.  She only had one episode of crying.  Mainly she just looked like a chipmunk.  

Here we are on Monday and she's back to her summer camp and eating like a champ!

Happy Birthday, Joy!!

 

Seriously! How did you get to be 17 years old??

We love you so!  We can't imagine our lives without you!

Grandma Turpin made her a new dress.

               Cake Time!!

Going out to dinner.  She loves Red Robin because of the bottom less fries!

Fun outing at the library

Summer Begins

While the boys were busy, Joy, Bella, and I enjoyed lunch out!

 

Visiting

 With my job at church, I do a lot of visits. Once Summer started, Joy had to come with me. Here she is entertaining :)
