ANOTHER FACT
Life expectancy for people with Down syndrome has increased dramatically in recent decades---from 25 in 1983 to 60 today.
Celebrate National Down Syndrome Awareness Month!! I am!! :)
I am a mother of 2 children. Aidan is 3 years old. Emily is 3 weeks old & to our surprise was diagnosed with
Down Syndrome at birth.
April 4, 2009....Our perfect plan we had for our family changed forever.
I am married to a wonderful husband. He is a computer geek & a soldier in the National Guard. Our family has lived through a year deployment. My husband was overseas for a year when Aidan was ten days old. I couldn't ask for a better father for my children.
I believe you create your own life & that there is a purpose for everything that happens in life. I live by my Grandmother's motto:
"You can, you will, & you must". I have learned that the best things in life are not planned.
I just love to open up your blog. That picture in your header is just precious! I love it.
