Thankful Thursday

(Here's our family at a beautiful wedding a couple weeks ago)

**********************************************

I just can't get over this thought...

There are so many wonderful people that have come into our lives this past year.

I'm in AWE! And so thankful!

All it took was for one little boy to be born at the right time in history, to the right family, in the right order, with a particular extra chromosome in the right place.

Unbelievable.

I am thankful to my incredible family, all the people who read my blog, and to those whom I've met in person, or through blogging, Facebook, and the NDSC Convention in Sacramento this past July.

Thanks for being there for me! The journey is so much sweeter with friends in all the right places.

HAPPY DOWN SYNDROME AWARENESS MONTH!

    What lovely sentiment this morning, Monica! It really is pretty awesome, isn't it?! I think about that often, and about this whole, new amazing world that's opened up to us. I'm sure new parenthood opens up certain doors in general, but this one is so fulfilling, and full of such warm and incredible people. Thanks for posting that!

    Yes, it is kind of amazing isn't it? Could you have ever imagined, on the day of diagnosis, all of the gifts that little John Micheal would bring into the world, in less than two years time? God has a plan. The world does not always see the gifts, but we sure do! In some respects, it is a mystery why He plans that extra 21st, but I do believe it will all be made clear in heaven. And while still here, we can get little glimpes of all those graces :). God bless Monica! Love, Kris ps. I'm so glad you joined the T21 family :)
