No one expects for their child to have a deletion in his genetic makeup,especially a deletion that doctors don't know much about. This is why we have started "Landon's Love," a developing organization/business to raise money for genetic research in order to help doctors better understand chromosome deletions such as Landon’s, comfort parents as they embrace this journey with their child, and ensure that people with genetic differences have the brightest future possible. Our son might be missing part of a chromosome, but he has captured the hearts of all who have met him. There is nothing better than Landon's love!

it's been a LONG time

...since i've submitted anything. i'm sorry for that.

i guess i've really been struggling to find balance.

since school has started, we've had two big Landon's Love events...one more successful than the other.

1. Old Farm Day--tons of work to prepare and I think the event was too big a forum for Landon's Love.

2. Edenbrook Landon's Love Party--this was the perfect marriage of getting the Landon's Love message out there while folks enjoyed the most fantastic place--Edenbrook.

Other opportunities have come up, but honestly, i just couldn't mentally or physically handle the preparation.

I have been struggling to find balance, but the mission and goal of Landon's Love has never escaped me.

I am toying around with the thought of this blog...contemplating making it "public" as i've taken down pics, etc (in case you haven't picked up on it, i can be a little paranoid about putting pics up of landon on the internet, especially if it is public). now that the business is official, what is the purpose of this blog? if anyone has any insight, i'd love to hear.

Current Questions:

--Should i focus only on several products? (i have to find placed to store all of the things when they are not sold, plus, is it too overwhelming to customers PLUS--i want money to go to UVA rather than materials)

--what avenues do i have other than craft fairs and the internet to sell products?
