Makenna's on the Demolition Crew

After- can't wait to get the new stuff planted.

Makenna helping her Dad!

Before

We decided to take out our over grown landscaping and completely replant in the front of the house. Makenna decided to assist Daddy in the track hoe. If you look closely you can see her helping Daddy tear out some bushes.

What a great helper Makenna is! And she looks so grown up! :-)
And Camille... so cute... getting so big!
I remember reading a while ago about her birth on the listserv, but I didn't realize that you had a blog! I found you through the Kauffman family blog.
Looks like you're enjoying your summer with your sweet girls!

Kristi :-)

CHARGE Syndrome

"CHARGE syndrome is a recognizable (genetic) pattern of birth defects which occurs in about one in every 9-10,000 births worldwide. It is an extremely complex syndrome, involving extensive medical and physical difficulties that differ from child to child. The vast majority of the time, there is no history of CHARGE syndrome or any other similar conditions in the family. Babies with CHARGE syndrome are often born with life-threatening birth defects, including complex heart defects and breathing problems. They spend many months in the hospital and undergo many surgeries and other treatments. Swallowing and breathing problems make life difficult even when they come home. Most have hearing loss, vision loss, and balance problems which delay their development and communication. All are likely to require medical and educational intervention for many years. Despite these seemingly insurmountable obstacles, children with CHARGE syndrome often far surpass their medical, physical, educational, and social expectations.

One of the hidden features of CHARGE syndrome is the determination and strong character these children display."
