During our son's bone marrow transplant, we began referring to our family as "Team Winchell" to make meaningful to both of our sons the way our family would stick together, no matter the challenge. Team Winchell has grown to include their sister, who has Down syndrome. We continue, seven years post-transplant, to navigate this life of adoption, special needs, and medical crises, and to do it with our humor, spirituality, and sanity (mostly) intact.
Welcome to the Team Winchell blog!

Happy birthday
to Jason today! I told him this birthday marks a year of change in our lives...the ending of two years of anticipation, and the start of many dreams. "Rebuilding cities devastated for generations"...one of my favorite quotes from the biblical book of Isaiah, and a vision for what Jason's life has been thus far, and what it will be. In less dramatic terms, Jackson said after Jason opened a present tonight (Jackson has been memorizing his times tables lately), "Dad, you know what 6 times 6 is?! THIRTY-SIX!!!" Well, then.
