A Heads Up About American Idol Tonight

I am sitting here at my computer cracking up because in a matter of 1o minutes I had over ten emails from the east coast sharing about the new American Idol episode that they are currently watching and is about to air here on the west at 8:00.... and thought I would share for those interested. Apparently there is a contestant, Maddy, who comes from a rather large family and has 4 brothers with Down syndrome, 3 of whom were adopted. One of the emails was from a mom sleuth who did some quick research and found a great article about the family's background concerning their adoptions, you can find it here. Reece's Rainbow is also mentioned in this article, I love it. Well....I have not even seen 1 minute of the new season and already I have my favorite pick for the final contestant! Can't wait to watch it. Go Maddy, Go!

I've been following her mom, Barbara's blog for years! (mommylife.net) They are an amazing family and I am so excited to see them get some positive publicity. Interestingly, her mom's site is down for "maintenance...possibly until February". :)

It's only because of those east coasters that I even tuned in at the beginning. We were busy getting little ones ready for bed. So glad I caught it. I loved what Maddy said at the end about people w/ Ds seeing in color.
