Elijah loves being outside.

Elijah having a snack.Today we had our annual Down syndrome support team family picnic. And of course we had a lot of fun! There was plenty of good food to eat and the kids all had fun playing on the play structure at the park. We were also treated to a Magic Show which Jimmy got a big kick out of.:) I love to see the families with their children all together smiling and having fun. Each year there are always a few newbies to the group bringing their new little ones with Ds. Elijah was introduced to everyone and he won them over with his adorable smile.
*Just my opinion, but I have always hated the name Down syndrome support group. I would rather see it called the Down syndrome Celebration group! After all, our children with Down syndrome are definitely worth celebrating!:)
I just love your boys! I can't believe how much Elijah has changed. Thanks for sharing your family with us.
ReplyDeleteYour boys are precious. I agree with you, children with DS are cause for celebration. :-)
ReplyDeleteI love it! I think I'm gonna have to form a celebration group of my own! I like your thinking! :)
ReplyDeleteAlways love seeing pictures of your boys! Oh... and our local DS group name has "outreach group" instead of support group.... not quite the celebration, but a little more positive than support???
ReplyDeleteAmy,
ReplyDeleteI have to visit your blog every single time I see an update. When I am having a bad day all I have to do is visit your blog and just read your posts. I LOVE all of your boys and would love to one day meet all of you. All of your boys are such cutie pies (I know Ben would just love that expression,lol) You are such a great mom to all of them and I hope that I am able to be the kind of mother to my child(ren) that you are.
