day one...

october is here...don't worry that it might hit ninety today in the beautiful salt lake valley...i'm really not minding the few extra days of summer this year...although i do love me some yummy hot chocolate...wearing fall boots and coats...the crisp feeling in the air...the heaven sent hues of mother nature...the anticipation of holidays...the first snow fall...an excuse to over indulge in just about anything....that warm fuzzy feeling that only this time of the year can bring...but until next week, when the thermometer will be sent spiraling into the sixties...the little one will be getting in some of his favorite play time...the kind that only summer can bring...diapers only in our house today!random fact #1 about trisomy 21 (down syndrome): the average age for a woman to have a child with ds is 28...in fact 75% of children born with down syndrome are born to a young mother...why: because most women have children before 35...our chances were approximately 1 in 1500...and i wake up thankful everyday that we got to be that one.
