You Can Make A Difference!

And so can I!

Baby Cole

Do you remember my previous posts about Congresswoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers and how she gave birth to a baby earlier this year with Down syndrome? I posted that here. How about when I posted that she introduced him to the house floor here?

The link below is a support group for dads that is making it’s way to various parts of the United States. It was started in Indianapolis, IN. There was an area at our Buddy Walk promoting D.A.D.S. We stopped by and they talked to Ryan about it. He signed up for their mailing list, but [...]
