OUR LITTLE PUMPKIN






Here's some cute pics of our little pumpkin! People have been asking for more pictures so here are some recent ones. Carsten is grinning constantly now, his beautiful smile just makes your day. He is very happy and such a content little boy. Last weekend we went to the Buddy Walk Fundraiser for Down Syndrome in Northwest Arkansas. Lots family and friends came and it was a great time. Its so nice to see the community that they have in that area. We are planning on attending a meeting here in Little Rock next week to generate some ideas for activities here. I'm hoping to put together a new moms group for encouragement and support. I talked with a mother at the Buddy Walk that said if she had not gotten connected with other moms in the area that she would have aborted. Its sad that almost 80% of people abort when they find out a diagnosis of Down Syndrome. Even during hard days, Carsten is still the best thing that has happened to Chad and I!

So glad you're connecting with people and having such a positive attitude! You've grown so much and I'm so proud of you. I don't have your cell anymore, but if you ever want to talk, let me know!!!

Wow! Ivan is a star! :) He is definitely not the star of this show though - Carsten is the man! What a handsome little man.
