Last month was a month devoted to promoting awareness about what Down Syndrome REALLY is. About how amazing people with that little extra chromosome are.

About Me: 

Just a 41 year old mom of 4 hanging out in fly-over country. I’ve got three beautiful kids – Maggie’s 12 and she’s our amazing gifted diva. Steven’s 9 and he’s our Star Wars/Lego/Bionicle expert with Asperger’s Syndrome. Henry’s 6 and has Down Syndrome and is obsessed with cows. William’s the baby, born July 30, 2009. I’m a digital scrapbooker, amateur photographer and pop culture geek. We’re just taking one day at a time, holding our heads above water as we serve each other & the Lord.

Surprising fact about me: I'm only 41, yet I've been sober for over 22 years!
