I swear - before having Whitney, I only knew one person who had Down syndrome, she was older than my brother, sisters and I and she went to the same pool as us during the summer (I swear she was there EVERY day) - now I have met so many wonderful people who have a child with Down syndrome. Crazy how much things can change in just a couple of years!Anne and Whitney: Up, Down and All Aroundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06206805918442920595noreply@blogger.com
