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!

Ice Cream
We stopped for ice cream - they didn't have vanilla, so she got the closest they had, cookies and cream.
(Haha!! Her sister photobombing the picture!)

She likes to stay home
with her setup, her ipad in reach, her phone, her toys, her umbrella chair - I can't say I blame her for waiting to stay home!

Joy and a new doctor
Because she doesn’t need any more surgeries, ortho has sent us onto Physical Medicine and Rehab for maintenance of her scoliosis, limb leg discrepancy, and her need for ankle braces. She loved that she did t have to get up early to go to school!! ☺️

Back to School Prep
Joy is NOT a fan of getting up in the morning and going to school. She would much rather stay home and watch her iPad. So I thought we better do some pampering. Haircut, nails, and lunch out!

Family Reunion
We played at streams.

Grandma Ball, Aunt Kathie, and Joy making salsa.

Joy loved her queen sized bunk bed at the cabin.

Joy loved the swimming pool.
We spent five days in the Smoky Mountains for a family reunion.
We stayed in a large cabin and enjoyed being with our family.

Remembering
It’s been 15 years!! So hard to believe!

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
