John is a computer engineer, which means he can design the chips and components used in computers. He enjoys reading and writing science fiction and fantasy novels, and he plays hockey whenever he can.
Shannon gave up a full-time desk job for full-time momhood. She loves aerobics, watching I Love Lucy and BBC's Pride and Prejudice, and listening to great chick lit books on CD. She's a certified group fitness and Zumba instructor. Want to know when and where Shannon teaches Zumba? Go to zumba.com and click on "Find an Instructor."
Wesley joined the family on September 12, 2007. We learned shortly after his birth that Wes has Down syndrome.
John and Shannon have been married since July 2002, enjoy life together, and still feel like newlyweds.
Wes is adorable! Congratulations on your beautiful baby boy. My daughter Sydney was born on July 16th, 2007. She has Downs as well, however we learned about her diagnosis during pregnancy. I read through your journals and I can relate to many of your experiences. It is so important to share your experiences with others. Thank you for sharing your story. My prayers and wishes to you and your family for a wonderful life and adventure together.
