Down syndrome Awareness Month--- 31 for 21, the Pumpkin Patch

I have decided not to feel guilty about missing several days of posting. As much as I wanted to post everyday (to support the 31 for 21-Down syndrome Awareness Month campaign) I have to cut myself some slack. I have accepted that I can't do it all (as much as I wish I could) and posting everyday is something I had to let go. Trust me - if I could, I would let work go! :)

Some wonderful moments have happened around here over the past few days! There is never a dull moment in this house! I plan to share during the next few posts...like my birthday surprise from Diondray. (Maybe I will write about that tomorrow).

Tonight it's all about the pumpkin patch. Every October we take a short drive out to this great pumpkin patch. It is a tradition. I love traditions! Driving home from our adventure Naomi said, "I am so glad we went to the pumpkin patch today. I had a great day!" That is all I need to break into a huge smile. Happy girls make for a mom that is happy!
