Happy Easter!

Sarah here... as you can guess because this is a picture post. ;)

We're with family this weekend, and yesterday we had the egg hunt at Grandma and Grandpa's. Elijah and Jonathan quickly got the hang of it if they didn't remember from last year, but I don't think either of them realized that there was candy inside!

And... this would be where my camera stopped working so no pictures of me. Not that I would have posted them anyways. :)

And some pictures from this morning (from grandma's camera)...
Best picture we got of Rachel in her dress... she wasn't in the picture taking mood. This beautiful Ukrainian sparkle dress was Little Miss Ruby's dress. She generously donated it to a blog auction to help her new big brother, Maxim, come home from Ukraine. Rachel loved wearing it today, even if she didn't want to pose for a picture.
Elijah was all dressed up too.


Happy Easter from our family to yours!

World Down Syndrome Day

World Down Syndrome Day is tomorrow - March 21st -- 3-21 -- for 3 copies of the 21st chromosome. We will be celebrating with our local DSAW group at Monkey Joe's.  The kids are very excited!

In honor of this special day, I invite you to watch the following video produced by IDSC. It has a GREAT message!
