Today was the 2008 Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome. Our team, Curley Crew, walked in honor of our daughter, Emmaline, and my neice, Kayla. The kids had fun playing with friends and although cool, the day turned out to be perfect for walking. Afterwards, we took everyone to LaRosa's for pizza. We want to thank our friends and family for joining us today to honor our littlest one. What a blessing Emmy is!If you'd like to donate to this wonderful cause that helps Emmaline and others with Down syndrome, click HERE to go to Emmaline's secure donation page.

What a great walk and cause! I have a cousin with DS, so we feel so blessed to know and love her. She is the sweetest girl! My neighbor also has Down's. Ben has grown up with Kim (we live in the house Ben grew up in) and Claire adores Kim!
Emmy is just adorable and I loved meeting her in person at the park. I know she is an amazing blessing to you and your family!
Congrats Emmy on another Buddy Walk! Way to go, girl!
Re: your comment, yes, I'm really excited that I finally got the hang of using the sling. It's easier to carry around and more comfortable than the Bjorn (at least at this point, because he's so heavy). I was determined to make it work because of other moms I knew like you who loved them so much.
