March | 2016 | Lessons from my daughter

Picture this!

You and I are enjoying a coffee on a terasse in the city of your choosing.

I ordered a café latté in a bowl.

Where are we?

What are you drinking?

….

We talk about things that are important in our life and we noticed rather quickly that I have told you so much about Jon, Emily and I over the last 2 years but I know really little about you…

Please take a minute to tell me a little bit more about you in the comments below.

And just in case you are shy… Let me start the conversation.

1. My hero is Emily. She’s gone through so much and is still smiling.

2. My strength comes from my mother. She’s an amazing role model and raised me right 🙂

3. The next thing I want to learn is photography.

4. The one thing I can’t quite figure out? Pinterest!!!

…

Your turn!

Please, please, please…. Chat along!!!

Tell me a a little about you

I’m sitting here with my bowl of café latté and can’t wait to get to know you better!

I just discovered StumbleUpon but I have no clue what to do there: I believe you can find me under plebrass but I need to spend quality time there.

Find more about about Cri du Chat syndrome at 5p- Society

Emily has a her own page in the family stories , you can find it here: Emily

Whenever I have a chance to let the world know about my girl, I seize it.

I wish more opportunities would present themselves but for now, I will embrace what is there as I truly don’t have the time to go out and create opportunities.

Earlier this year or late last year, Emily was asked to be part of a calendar, to raise awareness for Cri du Chat syndrome

You can find Faces of Grace Organization on Facebook

For the month of January, you get some facts on Cri du Chat Syndrome

Cri du Chat (Cat’s cry) syndrome, also known as 5p- (5p minus) syndrome, is a chromosomal condition that results when a piece of chromosome 5 is missing. Infants with this condition often have a high-pitched cry that sounds like that of a cat. The disorder is characterized by intellectual disability and delayed development, small head size (microcephaly), low birth weight, and weak muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. Affected individuals also have distinctive facial features, including widely set eyes (hypertelorism), low-set ears, a small jaw, and a rounded face. Some children with cri du chat syndrome are born with a heart defect.

And the model for the month of October is non other than Emily!
I bought many calendars and shipped them to friends and family!

If you are in the US and would like a calendar, I beieve there are still some available for purchase : Here
