Our little William (Iron Will) joined us a year ago. Sure - he has Down Syndrome, lives in a world that prefers he’d never been born, and won’t have anyone rioting or quelling free speech on his behalf, but his love is authentic and his worth beyond measure.

Since y’all are invested in Iron Will and so appreciative of his joyful and unrelenting approach to life, I thought I would share the wee little man’s Report Card with you. “Will is a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. We all adore him.” So basically an A+… #IronWill

I absolutely cannot get enough of Iron Will blessing his food! He may not know all the words yet, but that doesn’t stop him from being intentional in his prayer. Or from recognizing, even in the midst of trial and tribulation, that consumption is best preceded by appreciation

Last night, Iron Will and I worked on saying, “baseball.” I threw an extra vowel in to break the word up. Which resulted in my favorite pronunciation ever! Pardon the chaos at the end - I just had to hug the wee little man right then! #IronWill #DownSyndrome #TeamIronWill #RFP

On Christmas Eve, the tradition is that the youngest member of our posterity place Baby Jesus in the crib. Many of you may recall that last year (see the RT) was a near-catastrophe as Iron Will executed a Shovel Pass with the Christ Child… 😳 This year (with a little help from

Leading up to Christmas, our posterity earn pieces of straw for acts of kindness. The straw is to line the crib. On Christmas Eve, the youngest member of the family lays the infant Jesus in his crib. Here’s Iron Will practicing. And terrifying the XO… #IronWill #DownSyndrome

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you yet another advocate of utilitarianism, eugenics, elitism, cowardice, bullying and ultimately, hatred and dehumanization. Don’t misunderstand the drivel below. @RichardHanania truly believes he’s better and smarter than you. Than everyone.

The rate of Down Syndrome births in Europe is about half of what it would be due to abortion. Many of the parents go on to have a healthy child instead, or maybe two. So you get just as many lives but more health. There are actually people who think this is a bad thing.

Iron Will’s message for World Down Syndrome Day? Relentless. Forward. Progress. Every member of our family had a part to play in this video, and Sierra 2 (Son #2 ) produced the entire thing. So it’s with heartfelt and humble appreciation of how blessed we are to have Iron Will

After a prolonged R&R, Iron Will started back to school this past Thursday! The XO got to walk him in and she said it was a triumphant return of epic proportions. People cheering in the hallway, giving the wee little man fist bumps and high-fives, yelling “Will’s back!” Because

Team Iron Will, If you’ll humor me for a moment, I want to tell y’all a quick but amazing story AND ask for your prayers. Iron Will goes in for eye surgery on Monday. We became concerned recently when we began to suspect one of his eyes was not always tracking properly.

I figure a heartfelt reunion between two long-separated (at LEAST one minute!) best buds is a pretty solid way to wrap up the evening. After all, who doesn’t want to be pursued and greeted with such vigorous, reckless love?!!! Have a great night, my friends. And may God bless
