It's Down Syndrome Awareness Month!

Well, I've been a failure at blogging lately….who am I kidding.  To say that it has been sporadic since we brought Brendan home from the hospital would be a little more accurate.  I started the blog after Brendan was born because I figured that it would be an easier way to keep our family and friends, and anyone one else who cared, up to date on Brendan's battle to come home.  At least I met the goal there! Then blogging became something to do to keep memories of our family, stories and pictures and good little black mailing bits that could be brought out many years later!

Today, October 1, 2014, it's hard to believe that they little fighting Irishman is almost 7!?!  How did that all go by so quickly?  We won't talk about how The Princess is closing in on double digits and the Littlest Kilbride is in Kindergarten???  Yikes!!!

I digress…back to the reason of the blog for today….  Just about 7 years ago we were brought into the Down syndrome family, and boy have we learned a lot!  We are still learning, advocating, and stumbling and bumbling along the way, but we have learned that we are not alone.  You have been on this journey with us, and so have so many other families that we have never met.  So this month I am going to attempt to blog something everyday in support of Down Syndrome Awareness month and also in support of 31 for 21..other bloggers who will post everyday of the month (31) in support of the third copy of the 21st chromosome.  Some days won't be about our journey…some days you'll be overloaded, but hey..I'm just trying to set a goal here!

So, click on the 31 for 21 button on the right side of the page and check out some of the other blogs there!

Happy October!!!
