HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY KEVIN!!!!!

It's so hard to believe it's been 18 years since Kevin's birth.

What a surprise it was to find out our baby boy had down syndrome.

I can't believe how far he's come, considering it was suggested he be put in a foster home so as not to have an impact on our other children. I believe Kevin does have an impact on not only our other children, but also our grandchildren and everyone else in the family.

Kevin has taught us all patience, unconditional acceptance and to take the time to stop and smell the roses, he's absolutely amazing and is loved by all.Kevin's first birthday picture.Kevin in his pre-school years.Kevin reading to Isa, this is a skill that surprised his teachers. . .
