MAKING A BLOGGY COMEBACK!!!
I have changed my blog name from (Justin Chanelle and Tristan) to (Happily Ever after) We are in the middle of a huge transition. We are moving back to Vancouver after living in Montreal for 6 years. It's been a crazy ride!!! Things are finally settling down and this chick is ready to get back to work and reality. We plan to live happily ever after thus the new name for the new beginning! I plan to become an avid blogger once again. I am sure my family will be pleased now that I am moving to the other side of the country. If any of my fellow bloggers have any idea why my title is showing up all weird please fill me in!!!

Maybe I wasn't talking but I sure was paying attention and learning

Now that Tristan is starting to talk more and sign less I am really blown away by how much he really knows.

HE FINALLY SAID IT...

3 small words that I have dreamed of hearing from my little boy
and guess what?
It is his first sentence too <3
He can say a lot of words now but this is the first time he has ever put three together at once.
I am so happy and excited I want to shout from the rooftops.
My little boy really is starting to talk

Tristan can sing his ABC'S

For quite some time now Tristan has been able to sign and say many of the letters of the Alphabet at my request. Recently he has started singing the entire thing independently. This is so huge for him and I am one very happy and proud Mom. He is very proud of himself as you can see by the little smirk on his face. I just love the way he says W so cute! His pronunciation isn't perfect but you can tell what he is saying. Like all new words it will all come clearer with practice!

The best gift

I so wish I could bring this sweet guy home. All I can do is advocate and donate. Please do everything and anything you can. I look at this sweet face and all I can imagine is my Tristan. Alone in living conditions I can't even bare to imagine. With no chance of a future. Lucky to have a 5th Birthday even. :( Please I am begging help me help them! Having Tristan in my life has made huge changes. I just wish every family had a child with Down Syndrome. It truly is a blessing. I hope to be able to adopt another child with DS one day. If you can't adopt please donate and help those that can and are trying. It is expensive!!!!

Please Grab This Button!
URGENT PLEA!

How can you tell when your child is feeling better??

Tristan and I had a glorious 6 hours of sleep. Not the broken 2 hrs here 1 1/2 there kind but 6 solid hours. I feel like I can run a marathon. Well maybe not quite but your getting the point. He only required one breathing treatment last night and was up at 5 am. He got out of bed, put on his hat and coat and came through to me.



Seems he was having trouble getting one of his boots on. (There was a sock stuffed inside haha)


Now listen here women! Stop laughing and get over here and help me get this boot on!!!


I'm sick of sitting around here and I'm going to my Grandma's! I'm Mad! Yes in between using some of his "New words he learned on the school bus" He was also saying Mum mum mum Which is what he calls grandma.



Bet you thought I was going to say school.
Maybe when your feeling better little guy!!

The cutest Nativity scene ever

My Mom picked up this Nativity Scene for Tristan the other day. I thought it was cute but also thought it was a bit expensive for what it was. Even tried to talk her out of it. Well Mom knows best once again. It is awesome even plays the song Silent night.



As you can see it has been Tristan tested and Mom approved. He played with it for hours. Even wanted to bring the people to bed with him the first night.

Mish Mish Train

Having a little snuggle as they watch the train go around and around. Lil boy had a rough night. Low sats and was quite blue but a couple nebulizer treatments and he is doing well but tired out. Looks like he will be needing to go see respirology. We just decided Tristan was too healthy and didn't need to see him anymore but I'll have to call him this week. I think he will go back on the Singulair.

Tristan loves the train. He calls it our Mish Mish Train. Christmas is his newest word. He hasn't had alot of chance to practice it yet but as with all his words they get clearer and better pronounciation after some practise. I'll take Mish Mish

He kept pulling Santa off the track

Ice Princess

I took these photos of Chanelle a few years ago. I just love them!!! About time I finally got around to doing something with them.

Chloee loves her Jingle bells

We take them off at bedtime as they are way too noisy. When we go get them first thing in the morning she comes and even lifts her head so we can put the collar on. What a cat!!

School Photos

Even though they forgot their smiles at home I still love these pics! Kinda hard to take a bad picture of these two :)
