My name is Holly, and along with my wife Alex, are mommas to a beautiful baby named Jaxson. Jaxson made us mommies overnight and has thrown us, head first, into the world of parenting, Down Syndrome and adoption. This is our blog about our randomly, beautiful life together.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE MOMMAS…
I’m Holly, the one who will be doing most of the updating 🙂 I work as a paramedic….
That’s me 🙂 I have been married to my wife, Alex for 2.5 years. Alex is a firefighter….
….awwwww ain’t she cute!!! We have a pretty fun life together. We are very active people and love to do anything outdoors. Skiing, snowboarding, biking, rollerblading, long boarding, golfing, surfing, you name it and we do it (or at least have tried it). We have done quite a bit of travelling together, and if it involves sun, sand, and waves we will be there!! We decided to start a family about a year ago and had always discussed adoption (which will be fully explained in the blog) and so we started the process….. and enter this little guy….
This is Jaxson. You may see him referred to as ‘pickle pants’ in this blog, thats our nickname for him. Jaxson came into our lives VERY abruptly, which is just very fitting for us.
and this is our story unfolding for your reading pleasure…..
Down With Jax 
I heard you on CBC radio today and found your site.
You are so beautiful together and your love and commitment to Jaxson is both inspiring and heartbreaking – and so genuine.
You two are wonderful and amazing!

I found your video on YouTube. I was having a hard day and looked up adoption stories because they always make me happy. Not only did you adopt an adorable baby boy but we both live in Calgary. I hope I randomly see you 3 around town in the future.

Your YouTube channel showed up in my “suggested video” feed today. Well I couldn’t be happier!! I loved watching all your videos! My sons name is Jackson too (obviously spelled the other way 😜). He is a few days shy of 6 months old and he also has Down syndrome ☺️.
Your family is lovely and I look forward to your future posts and videos!
