Etta's Journal

I have 7 children, my youngest a 1yr old with down syndrom. I never in a million yrs did i think that i would have a baby with downs, but thank God he did give me one because i love him soo much. I love ur babys pics, my son was in hosp for his 6 months of life...so i hardly have any pics. I wanted to know where u purchased Etta's carseat. I want one for my 2yr old daughter. God Bless u and your beautiful family. Give Etta a kiss for me.

I linked to your site via Kelle and Nella. I have learned so much about DS in the past two weeks....and feel like I am a better person. Etta is beautiful.

Etta, We love all the new videos. I can't believe how long your hair is getting. You are looking like such a big girl! Hugs & Kisses!

Etta- It looks like you had a great time in the snow! We're getting excited about our visit, but Lita is asking for the weather to warm up a bit, as you looked pretty chilly to me, all bundled up on your sled. Hugs and kisses.

Hey Sweet Etta, you sure know how to get some wonderful pictures of you and your Momma and Daddy! Wish we could go sledding with you too! Love GMM and GDD

PARTY HARD ETTA! HAPPY, HAPPY NEW YEAR, WE LOVE YOU!

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah to all! Etta, Tiffany and Keith, enjoy the time with family and friends. Take lots of pictures and videos for those of us who are far away and thinking of you all. Happy holidays and best wishes for 2010! Love from Panama

We love your pictures Etta! We love the Christmas card - you are so cute and sweet in your little pink fairy costume(?)! Don't worry about the big Red Guy, he will get less scary each year. We are excited about seeing you for Christmas and watch you open your presents. Grandmomma and Granddaddy love you.

Etta, you are so precious, we stop and smile at your christmas card everytime we pass the refrigerator. You are the cutest thing!!!

Lil' Miss Etta May I am so PROUD of you and how much you are walking now! I can't wait to see you at Christmas! You're the most beautiful lil girl in the entire world! Know im loving you always!!! See you soon! P.S. You Aunt has met someone really great & special!

It's the day after Thanksgiving and all I can think about is seeing you and the whole family for Christmas in Headland. I bet you will be running by then. I miss you so much. You are the most wonderful girl I know. I can't wait to give you hugs and kisses. See you in Headland beautiful girl!

We miss you and are senidng you big hugs! Lots of love, Nana V & Grandfather

Hi Honey Bee,

You are the best candy sorter I know! Using both hands certainly does seem to get the job done much quicker. Love you, Nana V

Got your groove on sweet girl; great dance moves! Grandmomma lOves yOu, can't wait to come squeeze you tomorrow.

Hi Etta Honey: We are hanging out in Headland waiting for your visit next week. It was so refreshing to see you so happy and learning so many new things! We are looking forward to seeing you in person and squeezing on you some. We love you very much and miss you. Hugs and kisses, Nana V & THE Nana

Sweetest videos ever! You are just tooo cute and funny.

We just love watching the videos and reading the journal! I think Etta and her Daddy should start up a band and hit the road, there is talent there!! We miss you all and getting a chance to check in keeps us laughing at all you are doing.On your next visit we'll pull out the boxes and let you push them where ever you want. Hugs and Kisses!

I love the blog!

Hi Honey: It looks like you have mastered the art of THE CLIMB...who said it is hard to get to the top of mountains? We miss you and hope you are having fun with Lito and Lita. Give everyone a hug for me and be safe traveling home this weekend. Lots of love, Nana V

Hi Honey-Bee,
Grandfather and I are so glad that you made it home safely this afternoon. Thank you for coming to take care of me this past week. I know my recovery was speeded up because you and Mommy came to Headland to help take care of me. It has been too quiet around the house since you left though, and we keep thinking we will hear you talking to your dancing calypso monkey! We are already looking forward to seeing you again in August.
Much love, Nana V & Grandfather

We just love watching your videos and looking at all of your pictures Etta! You are Xtra-cute sitting on your little couch with your matching pink outfit. We love you!

Hi Etta! My name is Mia and my mommy showed me your site. It's very cool that we can be friends. I'll keep checking your updates every day...
Hugs,
Mia

Happy Belated Birthday Etta!! We have enjoyed looking at your recent pictures and videos. We hope to see you soon when you come to Alabama!!

Happy Birthday, little Etta! I hope to see you soon, before I have to stop calling you a baby. Glad to see you like reading books--hopefully you won't get in trouble for reading too much (?!) like your mommy did as a kid. One day you can read books from Rachel!

Love, Dallas

Hello Etta,
I finally had some time to check in on you today. It was fun catching up on all the videos of you, seeing how you have grown and getting a chuckle out of your love for exploring this wonderful world.
Hugs and kisses to you, your Mommy and Daddy,
Love,
