mommy and daddy time

Gabe and I were invited to a party with five other couples who have children with Down syndrome.  It was a parent only party, it is nice to get to be adults once in a while.  I can't express how wonderful it is to get together with other parents who all have something so special in common.  The women all happen to be in their 20's, we have little ones with Ds who are young, and live rather close together.  We all have different medical situations going on with our young ones and are able to assist the others in knowledge. This group is my group of women who are there for each other as we all take our journey through life and the medical field. 

We were even able to get the big boys together.  This is a very difficult feat!  For some reason all of our husbands went along with our party idea but were not too excited about it.  They did manage to order the MMA fight last night and all  bonded over punches, blood and beer (or wine in some cases). 

I want to extend a HUGE thank you to the Sunderlin family for agreeing to host this amazing get together.
