Anyway, Ryan loved seeing Rachel "in real life" and I think Kurtis really enjoyed it too. I loved seeing Nicole and Jan again and meeting Lisa for the first time. I found it so cool to see how different all our children are. If anyone ever says that kids with Down syndrome are all the same, they should have been there. AND,,, if anyone ever says that they're all loving and sweet, they should have been there! LOL
Thank you Jan and Jeff for being such wonderful hosts! It was so nice of you to open your house to us and let us invade!

Adorable Lily. Ryan loved Lily, but she wasn't too thrilled with having him in her face - can't say I blame her as Ryan "loves" babies just a bit too much sometimes.

Annette - I'm sooo glad you guys got to go to Indy!!! It looks like you had a wonderful time, and what fun to be with some of your (and my) favorite online friends :) I wish we lived closer and could have come to play too :) Love all the pics of you guys, and Happy belated birthday Ryan!!!!
I"m glad you guys had fun! I wish we could have been there!
Road Trip.......I love road trips and I'm so glad you have been able to take this one!!!! Just wish I could have joined you as it looked [and sounded like] so much fun!
Oh, I so wished we would have had weather that cooperated! I know I missed a wonderful time! I am so glad you all had a great time, and I loved your comments about children with down syndrome being all the same - NOT! :) Also loved the pics of Ryan below, he is so adorable. I can't decide who he looks like more, you or your husband - I see a lot of you in him, but your hubby too. Regardless he is adorable.
Thanks for sharing about Signing Time! I had a blast in Indiana too. So many adorable kids and such great signers!!

Thank you for sharing these photos! I wish we had the opportunity to be a part of these kinds of events...we don't. So I really appreciate living vicariously!
oh, Annette, you mean all kids with Ds aren't sweet??? Or just Nash? LOL Sorry he tended to pick on Ryan.....so happy you came though! Miss you!
Annette - it was the most incredible weekend for me!!!! I have been so busy that I think I am now just having time to relish in the memories of our weekend with all of you! I am so happy we were finally able to meet - Ryan captured my heart from the get go - he is just amazing!!! And meeting Nicole and her family and Jan and her family - well it was all too beautiful for words to even express!
And yes you are absolutely right - all children even those with T21 are different and unique and beautiful!!!!
Lily totally blows the "they are all so sweet and loving" myth right out many windows!!!
Hugs!
Lisa
