Superstar Parade: Bumblebee, bug, and bones

Braska was a friendly bumblebee, going to Trunk or Treat at her PaPaw's church.


Jack borrowed Braska's bumblebee "hat" for a while.

Jack, AKA Mr. Bones, and Kinlee the Ladybug were excited to be going to the Fall Festival!

Happy Birthday, Anthony!!

Our friend Anthony turned 3 last Sunday, October 17! Woo Hoo!

He had a super cool Buzz Lightyear party at the park and clearly had lots of fun.  Look at those smiles!!

We’re glad you had a great birthday, Anthony!!

(We want to celebrate with YOU, too, so send us your kids’ birthday pictures to share with the group! )

September group meeting

Our September group meeting was lots of fun, especially for our younger attendees… the kids!  We had 8 families and about 30 adults and children.  It was a nice cool fall evening, perfect for sliding and swinging, and plenty of visiting between the parents.

We were most wonderfully pleased to meet sweet little Leah, one of our newest group members.  She was a hit with all ages, and she was happy to oblige with tons of cuteness.   Welcome Leah and family!!
 

We practically had the park to ourselves, so we took advantage of a “group swing” time!

Our next meeting will be October 24 at 4pm at Family Therapy Solutions.  We hope to see a really good crowd that night, too!  Come and join us!

Pictures from Zachary’s Playground

We received pictures from the school-age playgroup at Zachary’s Playground in April.  Clearly, fun was had by ALL!

New pictures for background please!

It’s time to freshen things up!  And this weekend is the right time, since the Pujols Family Foundation is hosting a Picture Day full of scrapbooking on Saturday!  I’ll be doing digital scrapbooking alongside all of the moms who do it the “real way.” Ha!

(There may still be space available, Moms, if you’re interested!  It’s going to be great!  Call Jen at 314-878-2105 if you’re interested.)

So if you’d like to have your child and family highlighted in the blog background, send one or two pictures to DownSyndromeStC@gmail.com.  Be sure to include the child’s name and age, please. We’ll use as many as we can fit in there, and the rest we’ll use in a new edition of StC SuperStar Parade! 

We’d love to see the older bunch, the newborns, and everyone in the middle!  Be watching for the new background early next week.

March Preschool Playgroup Pics

Today we had a great meeting of our preschool playgroup. Joanna, Julianna, and Taylor were great hosts!  We had 15 in attendance, 5 families represented: 5 moms, 5 kiddos, and 5 siblings. 

Little Adam was snoozing when he arrived, so Braska and Jack decided they’d check him out without waking him…one on each side.  Too cute!


Taylor was happy to share his toys.


When Adam had enough nap, he was all about finding fun stuff to do!


Anthony checked out the bunny with dancing chicks.


And Joanna had yummy pizzas and mac ‘n cheese for lunch, a hit with everyone!

Thanks, Joanna, for hosting!!  

Our next playgroup meeting will be at Kristin’s house on April 24 at 10 am.  RSVP for the address to DownSyndromeStC@gmail.com Hope you can join us!

Fun at the Funfest!

The funfest last month was a GREAT event! Thanks to Hope High School for hosting and doing a wonderful job! There was a really great turnout of families who enjoyed the day. We weren’t able to catch pictures of all the kids there, but we did get a few to show some of the cool things the kids got to do.

And here's a little movie clip just for fun...look at those girls go!

Pizza Street Playdate

The 5-12 playgroup invited our whole group to join them at Pizza Street in December.  They had a pretty good turnout, and as you can see below, everyone had a great time!!
