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.





The ball pit which Michael would still be in if he had his wish.







Happy Thanksgiving

We are thankful for being able to share this Thanksgiving with our dear family and friends. Twenty eight people sat down to dinner. It was wonderful!
