A short story I had written about welcoming Will into our lives caught the attention of a magazine editor in California. She asked if she could use it in an upcoming issue. I, of course, agreed to the proposition. I was surprised to find an email yesterday with a pdf of the whole page layout. It looks great! It still has to go though a final inspection, but the article will be featured in the Sept./Oct. edition of Kidaroundtown.
Also, the same short story is to be featured in a book to be released in October. The book, "Gifts: How Children with Down Syndrome Have Enriched Our Lives" is a compilation of stories from parents of children with DS. It will be available at Amazon and Target.com as well as distributed through various DS organizations. My local bookstore is eager to have it in stock (I really love my local bookstore!)

Welcome and congrats! I went over and had a peek at your little beauty! It brought back memories of when Will was a little pumpkin. I am going to link to your page as well.
