On November 18 2009 at 4:02 am William Alan Bartosch was joyfully welcomed into our family. He weighed in at 7 lbs 9 oz and 20 in long. We were stunned to discover that he was born with Trisomy 21, or Down syndrome. We love him unconditionally from the top of his toe-head to the tips of his toes. We know that this diagnosis will not define him. He is a happy, healthy little boy that just happens to have an extra chromosome.



Follow us on this unexpected and exciting journey as we learn how to live life Will's Way.

Family

Will is so lucky to have cousins that he is so close to.  They are almost like siblings...in all the good and bad ways:)  They are great peers to him but they also just enjoy being silly together!



He is also extra lucky to not only have his grandmas and grandpas, but also a great grandma! Although I wish Will could have met all his great grandmas and great grandpas, I am grateful that he has had time with Grandma Brough because she is a pretty amazing lady! She has 6 children, 27 grandchildren and 50+ great grandchildren and has led a wonderful life.  Will is part of a pretty big family on all sides. He has lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas and grandpas all around which is something you can never have too much of!



This weekend Will is going to visit Grandma and Grandpa Crandall and Grandma and Grandpa Bartosch for a weekend of fun!
