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.
Yay!!! Congrats Shannon. That’s so exciting. Don’t you love seeing the little organs in the ultrasounds? Both times I’ve said something to Spencer like “Oh honey, look, he has a brain and a heart, I can see them right there. Oh gosh, thank goodness he has a brain.” Every little thing seems like an exciting relief along the way. Congrats!
