Last Wednesday Julia's school had their choral concert. They also have the musical theater group perform a few numbers. The song was wonderful, the young folks did a great job with singing and the movements. If you click on the picture, it will enlarge, you can see a few faces of teens with Down syndrome, there are quite a few in her class, and they love singing and dancing, it makes us so happy to see them!Julia says that at times the class is challenging because the teens with autism can have behavior issues, still, she says they are all very protective of the kids with Down syndrome and other disabilities in the class. I think it is wonderful that they can learn so much from each other.
Kara has the widest shoulders, a great physique for gymnastics. She is a bit of a chunk, but has the tiniest hips! Amanda is ignoring me; as soon as she hears the beep of the camera, her head goes down. Meghan never fails to smile for me, she is a ham!
Yes, in the pool in October, we do not like this heart wave at all, but the girls are loving the pool again!
It is so apparent that Meghan is beginning to leave little girlhood behind and become a tweenie. Her face is changing, maturing, and her attitude is getting snarky :o). Hormones? Please say no!
The many faces of Amanda. LOL Her heair looks pretty though. ;o)
Amanda is really getting a fun personality, she is jabbering away all day and, pulling shirts over her head while she rocks on her doggie. Check out that face she is making, makes me laugh!
I'm Popeye the Sailor Girl whoot whoot LOL

I think it is wonderful how Julia and the rest of the kids show those that may have disablities or are differently able that they are just as important as everyone else. Now days there are very few that will do that.... too many anymore are in the ME ME ME ME ME state of mind.
I love the pics of the girls.... Amanda's faces are cute!
The last picture of Amanda - THAT IS THE LOOK I GOT EVERYDAY FROM LERA AT THE ORPHANAGE!!! I wish I had thought to take a picture of her then, I guess I was too taken back by the look.
Amanda always makes me smile... what a cutie!
