Happy World Down Syndrome Day!!!

 

 

Annual Balloon Release
3.21.2014

 

 

 

 

Each year our Down syndrome families meet for a balloon release in honor of all our Down syndrome darlings.  This is the second year and we had an amazing time.  We are so blessed to have such support.  I love watching what God is doing in Arkansas.
