The Lyon Family 2020 Upcoming Announcements!
Hello, friends! There are so many exciting things that we are looking forward to in this upcoming year and we are excited to share them with you! It’s just going to be full of peace and happiness and change and it’s just… everything that we’ve truly been needing after so many hard rushes of emotion. We are always continuing to pray for hope and grace not only for our own family, but for so many others who are alongside us. Our journey and lives as a blended family have been a whirlwind of emotions and obstacles but all mixed together with love, always full of learning, continuous growth and constant gratefulness and we just couldn’t be more thankful to have the support that we do from all of you. So, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being here with us through our journey. Our village feels so complete with you in it.
4 Exciting Upcoming 2020 Announcements!
Our booth space is opening in March!
What whaaaat?! Yes, you read that right - the first week in March! As you know, we have an online shop through our blog and website: www.thehouseoncollegeavenue.com
We are excited to announce that if you are in the local area, there will be a physical booth space that is dedicated to our shop and our son Owen that you will be able to go to! The booth will resemble our home and act like an ‘umbrella’ for everything that is under the roof here in ‘the house on college avenue.’ The online shop is currently down right now as we make a few changes and prepare for the opening and there are some orders that are currently still being processed (delayed from the new year and extreme new baby sickness) that were placed this past month. Thank you so much for those who are being extremely patient with us at this time! We are excited to see you in our booth and be sure you post when you visit or tag us with your goodies so that we can see you love on some things for your own home and feature you on social media! Through the shop, we want to encourage you to make your home your own for your family and make it a place that will always make you happy to come home to on the hardest of days.
Owen’s Benefit Walk / Fun Run Has Been Changed!
As you know, last year we had started planning the first run / benefit for Owen this coming May. We have decided that with a new baby coming so close to that time frame, we are going to move it to start next year. We appreciate all of your support for Owen always and your excitement to be a part of this with us! For now we are going to enjoy these new moments as a family and really soak in Owen becoming a big brother for the first time and just concentrate on all of the planning and extra things after for the rest of the year ahead. So, starting next year, 2021, A Walk In Owen’s Story will officially take off. It will be an annual thing to look forward to and in the same location each time and (hopefully) always be the Sunday following awareness day every year after. MPS Awareness Day is always May 15th. Mark your calendars with us for May 16th 2021! We will always continue to spread awareness for not only our family but all others living with this horrible disease of MPS and the support of their families.
We have a family YouTube Channel coming!
Randy and I have talked a while about this and have finally decided that it would be a great way to share our story as well as have some home video moments for our children to always have and be able to look back on. As much as we have a blog, and will continue to have it, we know that some people are more visual and would like to hear and see more of our story in a different way than just taking the time to read. I’m not getting rid of the written blog because writing is my outlet and my strongest voice as a mother. It’s a way for us to be able to protect our hearts and our peace while being able to control what we share still and be able to be raw and real with you and tell our story. It’s also going to be so much easier to be able to update everyone on certain things with a single link that we can share instead of telling each individual person, as we know and appreciate having a lot of you in our village! We know that we are not alone in this life and we want nothing more than to be able to help other families through our journey if we can. Even if it’s one parent watching and relating to us, we know that we have chosen this for the right reason. Stay tuned soon and we will reveal all of the details for this. A separate YouTube Channel has been created for Owen’s Story as well to break down specific things on his life, his personal fun memories and more on our Sanfilippo journey.
Our new baby is due in August!
As most of you know, we are expecting and are SO excited for August to be here to meet our new bundle of joy! There will be more posts on our pregnancy and birth journey and you will be able to be right here with us along the way if you choose to do so. What’s your vote? Boy or Girl? As far as work goes, I will still be working! I will take a little time off around the time baby is due to admire and get into a new routine with our family but otherwise, my passion for your capturing your moments doesn’t ever stop! If you know our journey, then you know my why, why I started and you know the meaning behind the littlest moments meaning the most. I want the same for your family as I do my own.
Thanks for checking in with us! You can keep checking here and on our Instagram to find the most recent updates and exciting things as they come! @lifeinthelyonsden
