Hi Everyone!
I've visited the sight many times, but this is my first post. I have three kids- Molly(4-17-01), Max(3-17-03) and Lucas(3-8-06, DS). I was at the local Children's museum one day last month and met Angela's mom, who told me about this website. Now, I find myself here whenever I can get a couple of free minutes. I have learned so much, and I love to see all the beautiful pictures. I hope I can get a picture on here soon! I feel like I have a place where people understand, and are even excited about the future. That has made such a difference. When we first were told that Lucas had Down Syndrome, I didn't know how to handle it, and I was really afraid. I have since met the most wonderful people, people who just seem to come into my life as if by destiny. People like Angela's mom, or a mom at the grocery store, or Lucas's PT. I just read the birthday letter from Ciarra's mom, and it brought tears to my eyes. I can't wait to live this journey with my family.

Hello!
I just joined here myself and someone suggested I post in the Introduction section (which I did--"Hello from Montana"). I mention this because there were a ton of helpful hints on how to add photos. I haven't done it yet but hope to soon.
Have a great day!

[big][blue] WELCOME TERESA![/blue][/big] I've been praying you would come find us here! You're going to love it here, of course. It's a wonderful family. And yes, everyone will soon become like family to you. Try explaining THAT one to your husband! LOL
Welcome!
Oh, just a couple days before we met you was Angela's 10th birthday. A lot of here write little tributes to our kids on their birthdays. Here's mine for Angela's 10th.

Hi Teresa
Welcome to the site.
I think Leah (Angela's mom) put a posting in about your meeting, and at the time I responded hoping you'd read it and introduce yourself.....and here you are doing just that!
Congratulations on the arrival of baby Lucas. Tell us more about him and we love pictures of babies here!
I am delighted you found the site and said hello. I was lurking here for more than a year before getting the courage to introduce myself......I'm a scardy cat at heart!
Anyways, I'm Linda. My second kid Robert has DS. It's been very interesting journey so far.
You're going to love it here Teresa!
