Annette and Charlotte Prescott are two year old sassy twin sisters with Down syndrome. Each day ‘Nettie’ and ‘Lottie’ enjoy taking walks around the neighborhood with their older brothers, dancing in the kitchen, and snuggling their fluffy dog Max. They love playing on the trampoline, finger painting, and being read to. Through our family’s story, we want to offer a glimpse of our reality in order to replace negative stigmas and outdated views on Down syndrome for expectant parents, and all of society. Additionally, we want to share the importance of choosing joy and clinging to hope when encountering the unexpected, unknown, or unwanted
