fun weekend!

This weekend was the 20 Hour Benefit Crop...another successful fundraiser by Treasury of Memories! Way to go ladies! :) The event supported The Mighty Maxwell Guild for Children's Hospital and The SISU Children's Fund.

Our friends, Sarah, Jeremy and Evan, joined us for the weekend too. So much fun!

Evan enjoyed exploring Maxwell's toys and Max (for the most part) tolerated sharing.

But he definitely didn't want to share his "personal space!" Notice Max's angry look as Evan comes too close to him...eeks!

Evan quickly decided he too loved the trampoline!

Max enjoyed showing off all his signs.

He just loves, loves to sign all the animals.

Thanks Sarah, Jeremy and Evan for making the long trip. We so enjoyed spending the weekend with you! :) Love all three of you very much!

I love you.; April 7, 2008 at 1:40 PM

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.
