Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 6

Connor loves to stack and build all different kinds of blocks and toys. Building is one of his favorite things to do. 

Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 7

Connor loves riding around with Pa on his tractor and lawn mower!

Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 5

Sometimes Connor is very goofy just like his big sister! He wants to be just like her and copies everything that she does. For some reason they find it very funny to wear Nate's baby hats....

Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 4 - Connor's Ride

Thank you so much to Jeff's fellow firefighters and friends for organizing and participating in Connor's first (hopefully annual) charity motorcycle ride. Your support helped raise $645 for the Northern New Engalnd Down Syndrome Congress Buddy walk. It was a fantastic day and Connor had so much fun! We appreciate all of your love and support! Here is a thank you from all of us =)

Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 3

Here is Connor on his first day of preschool this September. Connor loves going to school and is learning so much. We have seen lots of progress across the board since he started school last January. We were standing by the tree taking first day photo's and Connor started being his silly self.

First he started making funny faces..."really, mom?!?!"

"Okay, here is your smile"

He then started kissing the tree...

Here we go, got a good one =)

Happy to see the bus arrive!

Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 2

We have met so many amazing people because of Connor. Here are some photos from our recent apple picking outing with Saturday Explorers where we are able to hang out with old friends and meet some new ones! Our playgroup meets once a month either at someone's house for playtime or at different locations around NH such as parks, play centers, etc. We always have a great time talking and playing with our friends!

Down Syndrome Awareness - Day 1

October has arrived. The temperature is falling, the leaves are changing colors, Pa's pool has been closed for the season. and it is Down Syndrome Awareness month. The past 2 years I have joined with many bloggers around the world in writing something about Down Syndrome each day in the month of October to help spread awareness and show all our readers how awesome someone with Down Syndrome can be! I have been thinking about it a lot over the last few weeks and trying to find a way to have time to write each day, but at this point I am not sure it is going to be possible. My days are filled with doctor's visits for 3 kids, a full time job, full time taxi driver for 3 kids, and a baby who does not like to sleep very often. I am going to do my best to post something each day; most likely a picture of my amazing son, Connor. Connor inspires me everyday and I hope these pictures show you 31 + reasons why I love my little boy with Down Syndrome.

So proud of himself with his gymnastics trophy!
