I’ve had the day count off a few times.  We’re almost halfway through Down Syndrome Awareness month.  Has it helped to get a little glimpse into our lives?  I always like to share the every day kind of normal kind of existence so it doesn’t seem scary to people.  We didn’t ask to join this club but God saw us as able and we’ve lived it knowing every day that He would give us the grace to do that day.  That was a big lesson to me in the beginning.  Every day…just have to make it through today. 

To be honest…life is way more normal than I ever thought it would be.  Most of the time if I think about it being different, it’s a little comical to me.  Sometimes it is not comical at all and I have to cry a little.  I learned early what it was to laugh on the outside and cry on the inside.  But really, most of the time it isn’t that way.  Most of the time I see the blessing.  Wouldn’t life be miserable if we always looked at what is hard in it instead of choosing to look for the good thing?  I don’t say that lightly, it’s been a lesson learned.

These pictures have appeared here more than once, but I can’t let them go this month when focusing on DS.  These are the good times.

As a knitter, I learned to use a lifeline when knitting lace projects.  A lifeline is just a cotton thread run through a row, usually at the end of a pattern repeat.  This allows you to have a place to go back to if you make a mistake.  One day I had cut a lifeline and turned my back for a few seconds, when I turned around, this is what I saw.

No, I didn’t use that one.   lol

Another day, he walked in and startled me so bad when I turned around and saw this!

Never a dull moment.

I was going to show some knitting content today but I forgot to take pictures earlier and I’m too tired to now.  Tomorrow.
