Last night we were invited to a great event. A fellow blogger and mom to a sweet little guy with Down syndrome (Jaxson), put together a BBQ so a fellow California blogger could meet some of us Utah bloggers who also have kiddos with Down syndrome. Make sense? I think most of the Utah bloggers already knew each other, but as I am still kind of new to the scene, I got to meet a bunch of wonderful families, many whose blogs I've been following since we adopted Max. Piper was sooo excited to go to the bbq and "make new friends". And make new friends we did.
Most of the siblings were off playing in the backyard, and we needed the dads to take pictures, so here are a bunch of trisomy 21 & trisomy 13 kiddos with the moms. Max is the youngest pictured, only because sweet little Kaelyn is still gaining weight in the hospital, and her parents had to come without her. Look at these cuties!

I stole this quote off another blog. It sums up our whole experience thus far:
'We often think that having a child with T21 is like gaining membership to a secret club, a club you never knew you wanted to be in or even existed, but once you are in, you are so thankful that you were chosen.'
Thanks for all the support!
