One Of Those Days...

The kind where you look forward to it all week and it turns out to be just as wonderful as you imagined it to be. I love days like today. Church was wonderful, exactly the kind of boost I needed to carry on. After church everyone (but mom, and I'm okay with that) took naps. Then we went to a Down syndrome support group meeting. We went to one a couple of years ago but have been quite remiss in going to them since then. After Little Miss was born I decided to renew my efforts and become more involved. I have even offered to start a blog for the group! Since joining the blogging world I have been able to "blog-meet" so many interesting people as well as find some wonderful old friends (way before blogging days, before even college days for that matter). I decided that to better get to know each other and provide "support" we needed to have more contact with each other, what better way than through a blog! I'm looking forward to getting to know families in similar situations than my own. I will say that we got a couple of "wow" looks when people realized that I have two children with Down syndrome. While I know there are many other families that do as well I'm coming to understand more and more that this is not common. But I have come to be okay with the "not common," because this is my life. The most important thing I can remember from that is that it is a life, one that I am striving to be more grateful for. And as my mom would say, "It's a Wonderful Life!"
