Walking for Ashlyn

This past weekend was our second time of walking in the Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome Indiana.  After Ashlyn was first born I wasn't quite ready for something like this, but the farther we get into the journey the easier it is to take joy in the community we are a part of.  It is such a special day to gather friends and family and walk in honor of a child you love so much.

I love this picture.  Sisters.  Kyla doesn't understand all that Down Syndrome means yet, all she knows is that she really loves her sister.

 What a special day walking in honor of Ashlyn and for the futures of all of those with Down Syndrome.  Thank you to all who donated and who walked with us and for all the love you show to Ashlyn.  And to Ashlyn.....we love you so much and are so grateful you are in our family.  We will always walk with you.
