I know I've posted about being blessed by my homeschool co-op, but this may give you a better idea of just why. It is two of the wonderful people that LOVE my children with DS. When my children are in Miss Louisa's room I never have any concerns or worries. I am able to teach my lesson and help with other lessons without any thought as to how my children are doing and if they are being cared for.

Dear Diane is the proud Momma of these two young ladies, she also is blessed with another daughter and two sons. Her blog is a very interesting mix of wit and how a single Momma can homeschool her children and live a classic "old fashioned" lifestyle. She makes her meals from scratch, does a fair amount of baking and sews! She puts me, and many others I have no doubt, to shame!

OOPS 17 missed

But I have a good reason, it was my beautiful daughter's first birthday at home! She's a big 12 year old! I will post pics once I can get on my computer, been using my hubbies since hand/wrist surgery and I don't have the pics on it.

The Creed of Babies with Down Syndrome

My face may be different
But my feelings the same
I laugh and I cry
And I take pride in my gains
I was sent here among you
To teach you to love
As God in the heavens
Looks down from above
To Him I'm no different
His love knows no bounds
It's those here among you
In cities and towns
That judge me by standards
That man has imparted
But this family I've chosen
Will help me get started
For I'm one of the children
So special and few
That came here to learn
The same lessons as you
That love is acceptance
It must come from the heart
We all have the same purpose
Though not the same start
The Lord gave me life
To live and embrace
And I'll do it as you do
But at my own pace
