The Call: The Value of a Life — Jessica <\/h6>\n

Danny is ten months old. All year, I’ve been taking a picture of him on the 29th of each month. It’s fun to look back and see how much he has changed since he was born. This shot was an outtake — only because it didn’t fit the format of the other shots. But boy, I sure think it’s cute! I love the way he squints his little eyes when he smiles and laughs. <\/p>\n

October is Down Syndrome Awareness month and so I feel sort of obligated to post or say something. We found out about Danny’s Down Syndrome a few hours after his birth. I’ve written about it more on my own blog<\/a>. But I think it’s important to say that life is a very precious thing and all life, no matter how different from our expectations, is a beautiful thing of immense value.<\/p>\n\n

Response: Barnes & Noble Classics — Cheryl <\/h6>\n

Looking at someone’s bookcase is a good way of finding out what they value. If there are no books on it, or no books in the house \u2014 it makes me shudder.<\/p>\n

Bridget and I picked these up at Barnes & Noble yesterday. She and Luke will be reading them for the literature courses they’re doing, and I’ll be working right alongside them. Bridget and I can’t wait to dive in; Luke: not so much. <\/p>\n

Whenever I need literature, I look to Barnes & Noble Classics. They are a great value. Of the nine titles we just picked up, three of them were free. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
