I know it's been forever, but today I can't resist! My heart is so full of gratitude and I feel so incredibly blessed! Today we celebrate our forever family! It has been two years since we met our daughter Cece for the very first time!!! I cannot believe it! Heavenly Father sure knows what he's doing when he helps orchestrate our life and build our families!!!!!!

Cece Isabel Nelson,
You are the daughter of my dreams!!! You are special beyond special!!!! I am so incredibly proud to be your Mommy and proud of the wonderful girl that you are!  You amaze me every, single day!!! You light up my heart and my life with your sweet nature, intuitiveness, love, kindness, and purity and a wisdom beyond your years!!! You will always be Mommy's baby and Daddy's girl!!!! We love you always and Forever!!! You are a gift to the world.  Thank you for inspiring me and teaching me how to be the best Mommy I can be!!  Mommy and Daddy love you "to the moon and back and all around, everywhere...from the top of your head all the way down to the tips of your toes."Ps.....YOU ARE THE BEST BIG SISTER IN THE WHOLE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!

Love, Love, Love !!! little bit extra !!! extra chromosome=extra love!!!

HOLT BOWEN NELSON
Healthy baby is here! Healthy with an extra 21st Chromosome!!  AKA Down Syndrome...
The amazing, beautiful, lovely miracle baby HOLT BOWEN NELSON arrived on October 20. 2011 at 10:16 am!!! He was 6 lbs 12 oz and 20 3/4 inches!!! 

Cece and Daddy spending bonding time together while Mommy
Visits Holtie in the NICU (only 1 week for observation)
We are so incredibly in love!! Cece is amazing with him, as I knew she would be! Holtie is strong and surprises us everyday as he grows and learns new skills...he's 3 months and trailing right behind his slightly older and adorable cousin !!! I cry almost everyday (happy tears) just at the shear miracle each of their lives are and that in less than 24 months!!! Aaron and I have a housefull (small house) of little munchkins!! Okay so there are only two of them..!!!! But, a newborn and a spunky, emotionally immature, yet intellectually sophisticated 4 year old with a taste for "all things grown up style"...makes our world rather adventurous!!! Next post will have more in depth discussion on what it means to be mom to my 'special needs' kiddos!!!! ps...sorry it's so scattered and so late, but I am learning how to be supermom and it takes all of my scattered brain to focus on this one task!!! I am feeling so incredibly blessed to have such beautiful spirits in our family. How much can one woman take.."cry cry...sniff sniff"!! I am so grateful that Heavenly Father trusts me with these little angels!!! oh and Holtie rolled over 3 times since Thursday on his 3 month birthday...AND smiles and talks to us and makes us feel like the best parent's ever!!! sniff sniff!! OH yes!! I almost forgot....running is taking on a new look...it's called running in place or AKA on a treadmill.  It's saved my life and my latest long run was a 10 miler.  Now onto 12 next weekend, with 6 or 7 during the week.  Gotta pick up the pace to be ready for the Tahoe Rim Endurance 50k in July.  Fingers and toes crossed that the babies agree!!!
Brand spankin' new!!! Welcome to the world Holtie!










Lookin' rather tired, ya think? Breastfeeding is the sport of champions (not for the weak at heart)!!!

I love my binky!!! 


Since Holtie was born, we've celebrated Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas ......!!!and painted Cece's bedroom and watched our little girl turn into quite the big sister!!!
