Here is a link to a video we made to celebrate Larkin's first year. What seemed so dark in the beginning, has turned out to be the brightest gift God could ever have blessed us with. Larkin has taught us patience and unconditional love are the most important things we can give to the people in our lives. She continues to teach us lessons everyday but the most important is that life is too short to be sad. CELEBRATE every single day.
And this is a preview of year 2 that I am currently working on so it's a very rough draft.

I have jumped into Lake of the Woods COLD COLD COLD water since 2000. The year 2005 brought a special significance with the birth of our daughter Larkin. Larkin was diagnosed with Down Syndrome and has fought a hard battle since with her health. We are also dealing with a seizure disorder which has caused further delay but we have great hopes for her future.
A very special Auntie & Uncle to Larkin kicked us off with a pledge of $1500.00!! And my work place Twin City Honda BMW gave $1000.00 for the 2nd year in a row!!!
