NDSC Final Day

4 little cutie pies on the final day... Joey (sorry, I cut you off!), Brennan in the back, Joaquin and John Michael.

John Michael kept bolting... it's like he's saying "No more pictures, I have other things to do..."

Nicolas (2nd from left) had an excellent time at the Brothers/Sisters segment of the NDSC Convention.
Even though we all live in other parts of the country, these are friendships that will last a lifetime because of a common bond. It's awesome to see these young people chatting with older teens and young adults who have Down syndrome. At the dinner, Greta danced with a boy who has Ds and Anna had a nice conversation with a self-advocate and his fiancee sitting at our dinner table. Awesome!
Next year we're in Orlando (think positive!) Well, at least I'm hoping to make it!
