Hi There. Here's my quick introduction, just to kick this off:
My name is Michelle McIntosh and I have a 12 year old son named Casey who has Down syndrome. This seems like a good time to insert a picture. Let me try it:
Well, here's a link to his website for now: www.caseymcintosh.com
I also have an 11 year old son named Luke. He is a great pal to Casey. The boys are only 17 months apart and although it was a stressful few years ... raising two infants not walking, not potty trained ... I've never had any doubt that it was the greatest choice I've ever made. They are true buddies, and both give very special gifts to eachother through their very different abilities.
Here is a picture of my husband and I when we were thinner and about 5 years younger. Neither of us really look like this anymore... I wish we did. But we've turned 40 and I've been sitting in front of a computer too much. So view the pic with that disclaimer in mind.
We live in So Calif with our 2 labrador retrievers, 1 irritating whiney hairless cat, and 2 dwarf siberian hamsters. I'm a homemaker and part time web-designer, and the webmaster of Uno Mas!
I'll write a better intro later. Let me see if I can post one more picture before I sign off:
Oh here's some pix I love of Casey and Luke modeling Uno Mas tshirts several years ago. They got sick of smiling and posing for the camera and here's what happened next:
Sheesh. All these pictures are 4 and 5 years old. I guess I'd better take some newer pictures soon and update this Bio.
YOUR TURN!
