Hello! Welcome to our blog......We have never done anything like this before so please bare with us!
Sierra is almost 11 and her little sis is Sydney is just barely 3 and full of fire!
Sierra has a neuro-genetic disorder called Angelman Sydrome. If you want to learn more about AS...(and I hope you do) please go to http://www.angelman.org/
The Lane house has had a pretty uneventful summer! Mom is soooo happy that School is back in swing on Monday. Sierra is in desperate need of her regular schedule to return. She has become very fond of purposefully agitating her little sis! Boredom is not a good thing!
Sierra has been busy with a new activity this summer. Cheerleading! This has become her obsession. She has cheerleading practice every Sunday at the Flip Factory in Pensacola. They just recently introduced a special needs squad. Mom was worried that she would not enjoy Cheering but as all moms want to live their lives vicarously through their children she decided it would be a great idea! Boy was it ever. Sierra is constantly doing her cheer at home and asking for help with it from mommy. Her little Sis Sydney has learned the cheer and loves to help too. Sierra has a huge crush on an older cheerleader on her squad named Ronnie. He must be at least 8 years older but he loves Sierra too and is the first one to volunteer to catch her in the basket toss! Last weekend brought the first exhibition for the squad at a Health Festival. Sierra did not even need her buddy! She did her cheer right in line with her teammates and was amazing! We are so proud and mom can't believe how much she underestimated Sierra. In November we will begin traveling with the other squads for competitions. We are so excited but also worried about how that will interfere with Miracle League. Another activity that is tops for Sierra. We will make the best of it and continue to participate in both!
Sierra also had a hair cut last week! She has always had her hair cut at home by daddy. This time she had a professional cut for back to school. Once the hairdresser handed her the water spray bottle we were good to go....go figure! Of course Mom and Dad were soaked but Sierra's hair (a good 9 inches shorter) is cuter than ever and much easier to manage! At least now we know the secret to an easy cut!
You'll hear more from us soon! Once school starts we will have lots to report!

Way to go Sierra! Cheerleading is so cool. I hope when I get you age they have a squad for me to join. I love jumping, bouncing and dancing so cheerleading would definitely fit me like a glove!
Yeah, I totally understand your mom saying we need to get back to school. I love school and miss my daily routine a lot. Summer has been nice and for the first time ever I actually have "tan lines."
Please tell your mommy that the blog page is awesome. It will be nice to keep up on all your new adventures. :-) And do share a picture of your new hairdo. I am sure your girlfriends at school are going to love it!
Angel hugs,
Miss Emma from Ohio
Awesome blog Sierra!! It's so neat that you do cheerleading. My sister does cheerleading and I love watching her and clapping along with her. Tell your mom that your blog is great and to keep on blogging. My mom has a lot of fun doing mine. I just got my haircut recently too. They cut off more than 10 inches and I got to donate it to "Locks for Love"! Can't wait to read more. If you want to see mine, it's www.shelbymybean.blogspot.com
