Meeting up with some special friends

The day after Thanksgiving, we visitied the science center downtown and had the wonderful pleasure of being able to meet Debbie , Binny and their lovely family. Debbie and I both belong to an online message board for families who have been blessed with a child with DownSyndrome. It was an incredible treat for Michael and I to be able to spend some time with these wonderful friends.


Binny and Michael....Buddies!

Thank you to Binny's big sister, Shira, for standing behind me getting these two fellas to

smile.
