June 10th 2008' Our lives were forever changed. Jana Elizabeth Blanchard was born. Better known as "Princess Jana". We did not know until birth that she had Down syndrome. We had knew nothing about Down syndrome. The days were dark in the beginning but we quickly learned that Down syndrome was really not that scary. She slept, ate and smiled and acted like any other baby. What we did not know is how much she would enrich our lives. She taught us how to love in a deeper way. She made our Marriage stronger our Boy's better Brothers. She is such a Joy. She has Beautiful Blue eyes that just captivate you. To know Jana is to love her. We thank God for her Daily and know this World is a better place because of her.
This is our third year to walk in the Buddy Walk. We think it is a great way to get friends and family together and raise awareness about Down syndrome. We think it is important that people know there is a upside to Down syndrome not down. We think the World would be a better place if more people like Jana were in it. We also want to help organizations like the Down syndrome Assoc get the word out there how truly lovable these children are and make their future brighter..
