Cousin Love

Ava and her little cousin Daniella are adorable together. I snapped these shots when they were at the park together for a family gathering. Ava can even say Daniella's name she says, "Lella! Lella!"

Daniella and her beautiful blue eyes

Best buddies

Swapping some kisses

and lots of hugs

Looking at the birds with Grandpa

In deep conversation

Brief Synopsis

Dallin developed normally until about 18 months of age when his pediatrician labeled him as "failure to thrive". By the time Dallin was 3 he had lost his ability to talk and had developed several autistic-type traits. Our neurologist diagnosed him as having ASD at 3 years old. Dallin was diagnosed with suspected mitochondrial dysfunction when he was 8. It's been quite the roller coaster ride. There are still many dreams that haven't been fulfilled but we continue on the path to help Dallin reach his full potential. No matter what the future brings we love our boy completely.
