Cabin Fever

It is officially time for Winter to end when Dante brings me the outside parachute and puts my hand on it, indicating he wants to play.  If Dante is going to initiate something you can be darn sure I am going to go with it!!  (Clarify, something not related to his endless attempts to get food!)

It was a tight fit, but they had fun.

God is good, even in the Winter that would not end...

World Down Syndrome Day

March 21st is World Down Syndrome Day, because it is 3-21 and so is Down Syndrome! (Third copy of chromosome 21)

In order to honor the five children Jamie and I have adopted, who each have Down Syndrome, I have decided to post 21 random photos of them. 

Enjoy!
