A service project for GS Troop 697

My niece Riley is a Girl Scout. Her troop was looking to do a service project for the end of the year. They chose Marcus and Macey to serve. What a blessing! We were showered with gifts from the girls. They invited us to their end of the year party and awards ceremony this afternoon in Edmond. We met outisde in the courtyard of an ice cream shop. We pulled up with the kiddos and cousin Riley was waiting for us. She was all smiles and her arm was a waving. I know how proud she is of Marcus and Macey and it was wonderful to be able to share them with her friends. I was able to share just a bit of our story, the kid version. They had lots of comments and questions afterwards.
Look his eyes are crossed!
Why are her glasses up side down? I guess they look that way.
What is Down syndrome?
Why do they stick out their tongues & hold their legs out? (they are quite flexible)
How hold are they? "My sister is 3 and she's already walking." They are small.

These are just a few of the questions and comments they shared. I did my best to share our story and answer their many questions. It was great that they were so interested in them. They were so sweet and kind, just curious. I'm so glad many of the parents were there and can follow up with them because I know they will be talking about M&M for awhile.

God has truly afforded us many oppurtunities to share our story since we have been home. Taylor shared recently at her 4-H club meeting, we shared our testimony with our Sunday School class last weekend and now to a young group of girls from Girls Scouts.
Thank you Lord for allowing us to share the miracle YOU have done in the lives of Marcus and Macey.
We are truly blessed!
