21st Chromosome info at Museum of Science and Industry

I find it funny how excited we get...


when we see something about Down syndrome.

We went to the Museum of Science and Industry today.

It's a great museum. We all had fun.


(My niece Karli (who now lives in our basement) was really excited!)

The change in me, and the love I have for my kids
strikes me at odd times.

The fact that I struggled so much at first with Polly's diagnosis
of Down syndrome
with time has become the vehicle that produces overwhelming joy.

If there wasn't darkness, I would not be able to appreciate the vast contrast of light.

(This saying was painting on a wall at the museum.)
