Joy likes to talk about Baby Joy and Mommy and Daddy. This morning Joy pulled out her memory bucket and we looked through her baby memories
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!

Our new lot
We have bought 1.25 acres. We are in the process of buying another 1.25 acres. On this 2.5 acres, we are building a special house designed just for our family. It is taking forever to make it happen - and the superintendent said it'll probably be another year before it's done. But we are excited!!

Making our derby cars
At church there are youth activities every Thursday. We choose not to attend all of them - just the ones the girls will enjoy.
The youth made pinewood derby cars. Joy wanted to decorate hers with PJ Masks characters, Catboy, Gecko, and Owlette.

Study on doctors
Joy has been involved with a study. The instructor taught her how to ask her GYN about options for her period. At the conclusion of the study, she facetimed a doctor.
It was great because I loved how to prepare Joy so she can be more independent at the doctor's office.

Pepperoni Pizza
Joy has learned to say - pepperoni
So all of the sudden, pepperoni pizza is her new fav - instead of cheese.
We had a terrible storm with tornados come through town. School was cancelled so we cleaned our rooms and had lunch at Costco.
