Children of the corn

We're in NY at Little GG's house, here to stay for a bit while she is in the hospital.

Kids are good at taking your mind off things.  I'm sitting here watching the boys in the cornfield out back,  thinking about how if GG was here,  she'd be watching us from the kitchen window and laughing.

We have good memories here.

Summer lovin': jammin'

We have to make enough strawberry jam to last us through the school year,  so I enlisted help.

Camp Papagaga

Where there are sticks and rocks and dirt, Chase is happy.  He doesn't want me near him,  so I am sitting on a fallen tree trunk at a Chasey-approved distance, taking secret photos of him while he plays in the woods in back of my parents' house.

Autographs

Ms Margaret-Ann brought Ian to another Charlotte Eagles game tonight, and she got the players to sign his shirt. He is one thrilled little soccer fan.


Buddy Walk- Save the Date!

So, last year, with all the hullabaloo about Ukraine and whatnot (seriously- did we really DO that?!?)...we totally missed the Buddy Walk for the Down Syndrome Association of Greater Charlotte.

Well, we had our reps there..the amazing Larsen family, who not only brought their ginormous family, but our kids, too (remember?).  But, it's not the same as actually being there, right?

It's all good, though.  Because it's time to start thinking about Buddy Walk 2012 already!

We will officially be walking this year as a family with 278 chromosomes (figure that one out!), so especially if you haven't had a chance to meet our newest Maddex, Zeke, please be sure to save the date- October 6th- and be a part of our team.  We walk to spread awareness of Down syndrome- to promote the opportunities available to a population who has had to fight for the right for the life that you live every day.

Saturday October 6th.  Freedom Park.  Fun for all, even if you only have 46 chromosomes.

More info to come about joining our team :)
