31 for 21

October is a BIG month for us...on October 15th, Lucas turns SIX! Holy moly!!! Seriously, where does the time go?! I feel his precious childhood slipping through our fingers so we're ensuring we do everything to make it as awesome as possible!

October is also Down Syndrome Awareness Month. This year, I'm participating in a movement that has grown tremendously over the last few years...31 for 21. It's a challenge to all bloggers in the Down syndrome community to raise awareness about DS by blogging every day in October (31) for Down syndrome (Trisomy 21/T21).

I figured I needed "something" to spur me to get back to writing about our life with Lucas, especially given this year of life-altering, hair-raising change! So, here I go...

Check back tomorrow and every day this month for facts about Down syndrome and updates on Lucas, our family and our life in the Emerald City.
