is taking a picture of Lindsay Gjerde, who is also a photographer. Lindsay is a student at the University of Montana and she’s completing a photojournalism project called, “Living with Down syndrome.”
The project is in honor of her sister and brother-in-law, who are expecting their first child, a beautiful baby with Down syndrome.



Dear Jennifer -
Avery has certainly warmed our hearts as we follow Lindsay’s progress with her essay. I had a good chuckle about your pea story.
I am sure I will come back to this site often to continue to gain knowledge about Down’s Syndrome.
We are anxiously waiting to welcome home our first grandson, Deagan. I am very proud of both of my daughters, Nikki, Deagan’s soon to be mom, and Lindsay for picking Down’s Syndrome for her essay. I hope you have experienced Lindsay’s warmth and caring as you allow her to experience a part of your family life. I thank you for that.
Lindsay’s mom.
I wish Lindsey could come over a take a few photos of Joe! I love the picture of Avery.

I wish she could too, Amy. I wish she could take pictures of every child in the blogroll…it would be spectacular!
I remember when we gave Kellen a camera and let him go to town. When I got the pictures developed, we had so much fun! He took some very *unconventional* shots. The inside of the fireplace, the dogs back, my brother-in-law from the moustache down. They were awesome! …and totally from his perspective.
that is adorable! what a wonderful and worthy project.
