The Thomas Family Trio head to Bonnaroo

Anna, Jesse, and Miles penned a one-hit wonder last night.  A record deal is in the works.  The song was a true collaborative effort.  Anna on lead vocals; Jesse was in charge of the lyrics; Miles covered the back-up vocals and dance moves.  It's a true shame that we didn't capture our song for YouTube.  

The song in question- "Old MacDonald (Redux)"  Here is a tiny sample of our work:

Anna:  Old MacDonald had a farm, eieio.  And on his farm he had a. . .
Jesse:  Fake Leg!
Miles: ooooooo (eieio)
Anna: with peg leg here, a peg leg there, here a peg, there a leg, everywhere a peg leg
    Old MacDonald had a farm
Anna & Miles: eieio/oooooooooooooo


And so on for ten minutes.  Let me share some other gems that Jesse contributed.  Apparently, Old MacDonald also had electrical wires, jewelry boxes, pythons, lamps, and smooches on his farm.  Miles loved the silly lyrics, but I think he really enjoyed my facial expressions that followed Jesse's whacked-out suggestions.  We are bring back the family sing-a-long!

Through your cousin Larissa I found your blog. Our Intercessory Prayer Team here in Augusta, GA is lifting your family in prayer especially with the upcoming surgery. I am also going to pass your blog address along to my sis-in-law who has 2 children, the youngest having Down's Syndrome and undergoing heart surgery as a wee thing. She and her husband have no doubt ridden the same roller coaster of emotions you are now riding. Miles is a gorgeous baby and you are right about him being a magnet. God works in mysterious ways.... and then sometimes he is down-right-in-your-face obvious.
Peace~

Thanks for your comment. It is amazing how many people we are meeting that have been directly touched by Down Syndrome, especially with cardiac complications. Please do pass this site along to your sister-in-law. I'd love to know how they navigated the whole surgical process. And thank you so much for adding us to your prayer list. I am so glad Larissa linked us to your Prayer Team.

Take care- Anna
