Written by Margaret, "For her grandson Finnegan, and all the children with Down Syndrome. My wish for you is both the opportunity and acceptance to experience life's adventures to the fullnest. With love Mimi." Margaret also wishes that all our Adventures through life be grand Adventures, both big and small, and always with a spirit of love and goodwill.

Note from Joe: I am always amazed by what we don't know - but should know - about our relatives. It is a shame that everyone has to live all over the country and have loss contact on a day-to-day basis. Use this Blog as a way of communicating.

That time of the year
