The First Post

Well, here we are on DownSyndrome.com. I blog regularly on emergency service issues, but found this host while searching for some other items.  We think we’ll hang out for a while and see what’s going on.

Posting the first post is like dipping into the peanut butter for the first time.  It is extremely satisfying to see the surface interrupted by your finger, but then, it’s done.  You have indelibly altered the reality of the peanut butter.

Caroline, our daughter, is like any other child, and I’m sure like any other child with Down syndrome.  However, her unbelievable courage and her mostly-ever-present smile have affected so many people that we took her as our inspiration and created a non-profit to help others: Caroline & Friends.  So you can come check it out (the website is about to get a remake, since I’m dabbling in Dreamweaver these days) and learn more about us.  Feel free to comment as well.  Looking forward to meeting you all.
