Inspiration

So we had some friends over in the culde tonight..We met a family through some friends that have an ADORABLE 7 yr old lil’ lady with Down syndrome and a 9 yr old daughter.  Such wonderfully behaved and sweet lil’ girls!  My hubby was so inspired by the 7 yr old….she was reading a “princess flyer” my daughter had gotten from our neighbor. “Condor” had put together a “letter” that was inviting his daughter (Ella’s BFF in the culde) and Ella to the “Princess on Ice” Disney show in a few weeks.  It was really cute..we all walked together as families to check the mail and the “letters” were in there inviting them to the princess party.  Anywho…of course Ella Mae carried that letter around with her all night.  At some point in the night my hubby was sitting with our friends kiddo and she was reading the letter, among other books as well, to him and Ella Mae.  My hubby and I tend to be pretty positive peeps..but he was so impressed with her and it gave him such a wonderful outlook. It is almost like a glimpse of what our life could be like…and I think that is comforting.  We are certainly ready for the road ahead..whatever it brings…but it is inspiring to see other families doing it, and doing it well.
