Our Story

When our son Jack was born with Down syndrome, we found out we had a lot to learn. Not just about the best way to nuture our child so he would grow up as healthy as possible, but about the whole world of special needs. One thing we learned, children born in some countries who have special needs generally don't go home with their mom & dad. They go to baby orphanages. We have decided to adopt one of these little angels, a beautiful girl with Down syndrome. We found our new daughter through an organization called Reece's Rainbow. They advocate for these little ones, trying to get them into the arms of their forever families. Please go visit. There is a button on the left. These children will touch your heart.

Chevy's!!

We are having a fundraiser to add to Dashlyn's adoption fund this Saturday, October 23rd at Chevy's, here in St. Charles! And as usual, I didn't blog about it quicker than super friend Randa Kay! Here's the deal - just go to Chevy's Fresh Mex restaurant at ANY TIME that day, order and enjoy a delicious meal, and when you pay your check, hand your server one of the flyers you can print off of Randa Kay's post and they will donate 20% of your check to our adoption fund!! That's it! If you'd rather me hand you a flyer - let me know and I will get it to you! Easy, right?

It's the Chevy's off Zumbehl in front of Wal Mart. If you'd like more specific directions, let me know!

Hope to see you there!
