It has been a very busy past few weeks, we have been working hard on getting donations for the Sharing Down Syndrome Association of Arizona, this is a non-profit organization that helps with public awareness and lends support for families with family members with Down Syndrome. It has been alot of fun! There was a competition to see who could raise the most money within the first couple of weeks, and thanks to everyone who donated we were able to raise nearly $900, we are still taking donations until 10/25/08, so if anyone else is interested I will post the link that will let you donate online. But back to the competition we got second place which got us several tickets to watch the Arizona Diamondbacks play the SF Giants, pool side at Chase Field. This was a blast, we shared the pool seats with other members of the Sharing organization and met alot of really neat people and made alot of new friends. There were so many dang cute kids with down syndrome there, and all of them were so happy and sweet-I'll never understand anyone who wouldn't want one. Once again thank you to those who donated to Connor's Crew. Callie turned seven yesterday, but since her birtday was in the middle of the week we celebrated it the weekend before. All she wanted to do this year for her birthday was have a barbque at Granny Dub's-she had so much fun-she loves playing with all of her cousins. We got her a trampoline for her birthday-thanks to Craig's List we got a heck of a deal-anyways, we had it set up in the backyard for 4 days before I couldn't wait anymore and had to show her. She now lives on it. On her birthday we woke her up at 6:00 in the morning with her birthday cake and balloons and she thought it was so cool that she got to have cake for breakfast-so did Connor. Cooper has now discovered his little voice and loves to jabber and squeal and then laugh at himself-he is so cheesey and cute. Anyways-thats about all for now- Kaija

WOW, I can't believe how fast the boys are growing and how beautiful Callie is. She's even playing an instrument now. That's awesome. Kaija I saw your hair in your slide show and it's gorgeous. Looks like your family is happy and doing well.
