Or maybe you want to see pictures of Tom and the kids? Maybe you’d like to hear my strange combination Midwest/Montana accent? If so, I share with you my new video:

That was beautiful, Jennifer!
Wonderful.
What a wonderful video – thank you for sharing it! I hope you and your family have a Happy New Year!
You are so lovely.
That is the exact excerpt from ‘First Words’ that I always read at my presentations to health professionals. There has never been a dry eye in the house. Bravo.
Wonderful! Here’s to a beautiful and successful 2009 for you and your entire family. Much love. xo
Thank you Jennifer, it was so moving and beautiful and you have a sweet voice!
many blessings and happy new year, Beverly
Simply beautiful.
I had to wait for my washer to stop cycling so I could hear every word clearly. I’m so glad I did. Beautifully spoken, Jennifer! Wonderful to hear you read your story.
I’d like to post it on my blog, if that is okay. LMK!
thank you for returning the love, everyone! and please, share it with anyone you like. here’s to more love and joy in the world, for all of us.

Happy new year! What a beautiful video.
All the best for 2009.
I just need to get Amazon UK to ship it to me!
HAppy New YEar!
Oh Jennifer this was so beautifully done! What a powerful, moving video…a great intro to your book…and your life.
Happy New Year my friend!
OMG!!!. This is absolutely amazing!!!, to start the New Year with such a beautiful video filled with so much love!!!. Jennifer, thank you so much for sharing a little bit more of your lovely family. LOVE IT!!!. All the Best ~
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
Your voice is so beautiful. Listening to your video was a wonderful as our casual chat in Boston, as wonderful as our phone call before you came home to the ranch.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful words.
You are truly a gem.
love.love.love.
I’m a little ashamed to say I have yet to read your book. I plan on it, I just haven’t gotten around to it yet. I loved this little excerpt, though. I really need to buy it. My Peanut turns 4 next week. I can’t believe she is already 4. Where does the time go?
I love hearing you!
And happy birthday, Carter! (And way to sing your love out loud, Avery!)
Your voice is as delicate as your thoughtful words make me feel. Congratulations, Jennifer, on the 2008 award! (So well-deserved!)
Your book, your story is the warm place we need to fall into when trying to sort out our own feelings about having a child with Down syndrome.
Yesterday, I was the lucky observer of a group of people with Down syndrome who were practicing their skating programs for a competition, here in Ontario, Canada. There were graceful skaters and skaters who struggled to be graceful — and every single skater did what I admire so much: Remained strong and upright and determined.
Truly, it was a magnificent sight!
That looks amazing Jennifer – fantastic job
What a beautiful story! I LOVED your book, but hearing your voice and seeing your beautiful family is the icing. Thank you for a heartwarming start to 2009. I’d like to point to this on my blog… Happy New Year. Monica
i loved it. thank you. still looking forward to reading your book…
Very nice. Thank you for sharing.
That really was beautiful. I sometimes cry when I come to your site, but in a good way. xo
Oh Jennifer. That was just beautiful. As are you, and Avery, and your entire little family.
Jennifer,
This is absolutely beautiful, just like your book. I love hearing your voice and seeing the images of your beautiful family.
Hearing/watching this makes me want to meet you and give you a big hug to say “Thank you” for sharing your story in such a lovely lovely way.

Beautiful! Hey, I think you might have a career in audio books. You have the perfect voice for bed time stories, soft, clear and comforting.
Just watched this on downsyn. It is so beautiful…
It’s amazing how listening to your words totally brought me back to 6 months ago when I first read Road Map. My son was just born, and there were so many emotions going on..
Thank you so much for sharing this with us.
I would love to post this on my blog if you don’t mind?
This is lovely!! Thanks for sharing it.
This video is so beautiful, your book is so beautiful too. Thank you for sharing it with us.
What a gorgeous video!
Excuse me while I go and share this with everyone I know…
I wanted to view the video, but it was no longer available. Is there anyway to see it?
Laurie, I just checked everything and it all seems to be working. I’ll email you with some thoughts you might try to get it up and running on your computer.
xo
I got goosebumps listening to that. I know your story, read it, but hearing you say made it so much more touching. Thanks for your story.
Now, it is not only your written word that moves me but your spoken word. Thank you for sharing.
Jennifer – what a great video – so lovely to actually hear your voice – and those pictures – gorgeous. Roadmap is as ever still by my bedside for whenever I feel the need for a ‘fix’. Thanks.
Jennifer,
Truly beautiful. Once again I’m brought to tears…tears of joy and hope and gratefulness. Thank you for your book and for inspiring me to start my own journal through my blog. I am forever grateful to you.
Jennifer
Jennifer,
I agree with Christine above…I loved hearing your voice and was not surprised to hear that it was soft and comforting, just as you have always been to me.
It’s a powerful excerpt of a moving book. It helps to see the whole picture; your voice with your tender photos.
I posted this at the bottom of my blog. I love your book! I bought it for myself for Christmas:)
Thank you for the amazing show of support, everyone! I really appreciate it.

Ha! It is so great to hear your actual voice again, Jen. It has been too long! Beautiful video.
