Myles is now 9-years-old and it strikes me as so odd that I can have an almost 10-year-old, that's a whole decade! The old cliche is true when it comes to Myles - the days are long, but the years are short. I cannot believe he is already 9, yet life with Myles, and more accurately, life with Down syndrome, does not always come worry or stress free. He is an amazing little boy who has overcome so much, and still has such zest for life. He brings joy to so many around him, and has helped to mold our family - our perspectives, our values, our view of the world - into what we are today. Myles loves his life, is testing his independence, is fiercely persistent, not as easygoing as most think, but extremely loyal to his family. He enthusiastically greets most everyone, and makes others around him feel special. We have high hopes and expectations for Myles, and are eager to see where he takes life.
Myles' birthday was also the first day of Adam's Camp and our vacation at Snow Mountain Ranch. He went out with Daddy to get his birthday donuts first thing in the morning, and then we left mid-morning to head up the mountain. We stopped at Beau Jo's in Idaho Springs for a pizza birthday lunch, present opening, and ice cream. He was pretty pumped about staying in a cabin on his birthday and kept exclaiming, "My birthday party!"
