It Was Halloween. You'll Just Have to Trust Me.

As much as I would love to regale you with adorable photos of our Halloween (consisting of a neighborhood Halloween parade straight of out Norman Rockwell followed by trick or treating on our street on a blustery evening with the backdrop of an exquisite autumn sky), I cannot.

I forgot to put the memory card back into my camera.

I KNOW!

Oh well. You couldn't take photos of Ellie squealling "Mommy I'm having fun! I LIKE trick or treating!" No, but snapshots of those little moments are sealed in my mind forever, thankfully. And there will always be this.

Leo still hasn't mastered "Trick or Treat," preferring to greet his candy bearers with an enthusiastic "Happy Halloween!"

Nobody seemed to mind.

In other news, we made it! 31 for 21!

I want to say how much I enjoyed finding some new blogs through this fun and worthwhile exercise and once again thank Tricia for orchestrating it all. I like to think with our combined tenacity and creativity we're making some kind of difference out there, in terms of raising awareness of Down syndrome.

And I think it's safe to say that blogs have saved me a little, saved my sanity at least. It goes without saying in our busy little lives that sometimes it can feel like you're the "Only One." But I think we can all agree that is the farthest thing from the truth.

We're all in this together.

Thanks for following along this month and I hope you'll stick around!
