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!

new pics

it sounds like i need to head to the alb. circuit court to register a fictitious name (sounds sketchy :-)) and then we'll be set to go! this has certainly been a learning experience, but worth every minute.

here are some new pictures of products...i discovered some new colors i really like...i've been partial to green these days and found a nice green.

SO EXCITED!!!

We went to the bank today and we now have a business account! Things seem a bit surreal at this point. I am excited, but overwhelmingly scared. I keep trying to convince myself that it is all going to be okay, but i have had a pit in my stomach for days. I keep thinking that even if this company is a flop I followed my dream to do something for the person who means the absolute world to me!

Getting There more and more everyday

That title could mean a lot of things...

--Landon is making progress more and more every day. He is as sweet as he could be in these summer programs. SPLASH is a speech and language based program that he has tuesdays and thursdays until early July. He continues to go to the "farm" (Edenbrook Farm Therapy Program) every Saturday. We usually last about 2 hours there. He is receiving private speech therapy twice a week. We are looking into getting OT and PT for the summer as well. Our first playgroup is tomorrow at we are SO EXCITED!

--The other meaning of this title is that we are getting there more and more with Landon's Love! I picked up some receipt booklets today so that when people buy things i can give them a receipt. I got more labels today, which means that i could print off labels for the boxes that i put the products in. I am working on the first Landon's Love party. AND IT'S ONLY BEEN 1 FULL DAY OF SUMMER VACATION! If i keep this up i'll be thrilled!

the thing i'm most focused on now--setting up a website. if anyone knows of a resource that i could use to set up a website for the business, let me know!
