Today is the one year anniversary of the amazing T21 Traveling Afghan project where one blanket is being shared around the world, connecting children and adults with Down syndrome from everywhere with one common blanket. We were honored to be able to have the blanket last summer and Joaquin LOVED it. You can see photos of him with the blanket here. He loved it so much that we had one made for him by CJ, the creator of the project, that he could keep.
We just confirmed that Sofia too will have an afghan of her own!!! CJ is looking for the perfect yarn for Sofia's very special blanket. We can't WAIT to get it and take it with us to meet her in "hopefully" a few short months.
Living life one day at a time as a family of six...3 busy and bouncy boys and 1 Ukrainian princess. Our third son Joaquin was our unexpected blessing who came to us with a little something extra called Down syndrome and inspired us to adopt Sofia an orphan we fell in love with through Reece's Rainbow. We hope that our story will help open people's eyes to the beauty and gift that ALL children are. We are all more alike than different!
I can't believe the afghan project has been going for a year now!! wow! i can't wait to see the afghan that cj makes for sofia - that would be wonderful if you had it to take over with you when you meet her/bring her home :)
