We call ourselves the DS Sisterhood... and this is just a small group!
This is one very active group of moms who all met because we have a child with Ds (Jennifer has 2!). But being pregnant and recently having Luke (5 1/2 weeks ago), I was feeling a little bummed that I couldn't keep up with this group on all the outings, DS Mama Bootcamp, movies, swimming, etc., so I invited them to our house for a walk on our nature trails, with or without children. My husband, Doug, set up a frozen yogurt bar with toppings for afterward.
L to R... Monica with John Michael, Lisa with Sheridan, Gina and Gabe, Susan, Cori with Joey, Debbie and Jennifer with Thomas the Tank Engine. Tonight, a couple more moms are coming...

Here's our little buddy, Sheridan. This is our first visit since his heart was fixed a couple months ago. Such a big boy!
John Michael and Joey are playing with the ball toy and Sheridan is giving us a beat.
Big brother, Nic, and John Michael are doing the motions for Itsy, Bitsy Spider... "Out comes the sun..."
I'm looking forward to seeing more moms tonight!
If you can't join 'em, invite 'em over to your house!
