Merry Christmas

After 16 years abroad, I moved back to my native Sweden. My husband is Austrian and we met in the US where I lived from 1996-2006, and then we moved to Alp-land aka Austria where we lived til 2013. I am still trying to get over that culture shock.
We have two kids. Vincent, our first born was born on May 12, 2006 with an extra chromosome aka Down syndrome (Translocation 21;21). Edgar was born October 10, 2009, but only 46 chromosomes there.
I admit to thinking it was the end of our world when we got the results of the blood test showing our son had DS, 5 days after Vince was born. I was so wrong! Though everything is not easy, life is a lot of fun! That extra chromosome really did not change much.I started running again in 2011 and completed my first half marathon in October 2011. In 2012 I completed two half marathons and a handful of other races. Running is now a big part of my life and I run at least five days a week. Both for fun and for peace of mind. I am starting to think a full marathon would be fun. Maybe in 2014...
This blog is about living life Upside Down. Enjoy.

God Jul till er också! Vilken sötnos Vincent är!!! Man vill ju bara nypa honom i kinderna sådär som en gammal tant skulle göra ;-). Kram!
PS. Tack för att du skrivit om Fischer Price-Zebran. Den gjorde succé här hemma hos oss, Victor älskar den! Vi trodde att den kanske skulle vara lite för svår att få balans på men den är ju helt perfekt.
Visst är det svårt att tro att våra små troll kan vara monster ibland, när de är såååååååååå bedårande söta?! Ha en god jul på er också hjärtat. Kram.
Merry Christmas!!
