It’s been a busy few days.  Saturday we went to a funeral for our cousin.  She was only 33 and died of brain cancer.  She was a wonderful girl and the ceremony and the gathering afterwards were really nice.  At her request, hubby sang Amazing Grace and it was very touching. 

Many of us went for a barbecue afterwards.  We actually got my mom to come over to be in a picture with 4 generations.

I really enjoyed spending time with my cousin’s granddaughter, she’s a kick….kinda like her grandma! 

Here’s Mr. Smile … I don’t get why the little imp thinks he shouldn’t smile for pictures. His cousin is always ready with a smile!

Then on Sunday, we had a baby shower for Sweet Pea at my sister’s house.

She is wearing the Moonbeam cape that a good friend of mine made her and a dress that was mine!  Her mommy also wore it as a baby.

It was a nice time…no games, just fun.

I just love watching them together.

Sweet Pea and 3 women who love her a lot.

My sister’s granddaughter was the co-hostess and she was such a big helper.  I love her haircut!

I don’t ever get tired of holding my little girly.

My niece and her new baby.  He was such a good little boy.

Ahhhhhhh, contentment.

Auntie did get a turn.

Cousins. 

Does anyone else think she’s as beautiful as I do?  Silly question.  No longer is she wearing my dress…wardrobe changes happen often with this girl.

We got such a kick out of seeing the cousins together!

Today the little imp decided he’d hold sweetpea.

We suddenly heard some pretty serious tooting and this was the little imp’s response when asked if it was him…

“It’s her…”, he said.

October is Down Syndrome Awareness month.  It’s interesting to me that I was aware of that years before we had the little imp…maybe it was God preparing me for what was to come.

I’m going to take part in “Get it Down  31 for 21″ and try to make some kind of post every day during the month of October and mention something about life with the little imp and/or down syndrome.  It would be great if someone wants to join me in this…there is a button on the sidebar that links to the rules…which really are not rules.
