The next big play on words is the 2009 Step Up for Down Syndrome walk at Como Park in St. Paul on September 20th. The walk is the main source of fundraising for the Minnesota Down Syndrome Association, which uses the money for programming and materials like the information packets we received in the hospital when Miles was born and the books and DVDs that were mailed to us after we returned home.

We have set up a donation site that can be used to contribute funds to the walk. It’s simple, fast and secure: http://www.firstgiving.com/mileswolfe

We’d like to thank all of our friends and family who have supported us so far. We know that you will continue to support us in whatever way you can.

If you would like to join us on the walk, please contact us and we can make arrangements.

Not sure how much use we’ll get out of this set, but I figured there might be many a photo of Miles or Nora sitting in the Bumbo.

There were brats, funnel cakes, midway rides and cattle. So, that’s about all you need for a fair in my book.

As expected, Nora had an absolute blast. She even showed a cow in the President’s Class.

Miles, though… was another story. If he wasn’t sleeping, he was melting. We had to strip him down to his diapers to get him comfortable at one point. We’ll have to toughen him up for the next fair outing.
