Meet the Kranich Family!
We are the Kranich family and live in East King County. We have three kids, ages 5 years, 8 years and 9 months. Our family enjoys playing board games, going camping, finding geocaches, and visiting local museums and zoos. We homeschool our children, so we have lots of time to have field trips and explore all the interests our children have!
We became involved with DSC about a year ago while we were preparing to adopt a child with Down Syndrome. We wanted to make sure we were building connections, learning about all the services available to support our family, and providing the best life for our future child right from the beginning. In July last year we were blessed to add our youngest daughter, who has DS, to our family. In August, Brandi began volunteering as the 0–3-year-old group leader to further build connections with the DS community and to help other families where she could. Through Brandi's role with DSC, our entire family has enjoyed meeting other families and learning from them. We have participated in the Buddy Walk, a trip to the pumpkin patch, and DSC playdates. We hope to meet even more people at our upcoming DSC hikes and zoo trips!
