http://shamptons.blogspot.com/2015/05/top-5-books-for-new-parentsand-oldies.html
My life from the shams to the Dock . essentially the inner west of Sydney. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Top 5 Books for New Parents.and oldies too. I enjoyed putting myself into the shoes of new parents to a baby with Down Syndrome yesterday. I didn't enjoy the fear and pain that I know they must be feeling. but I passed on details of Shamptons and my facebook page - and then I had a step through time of each - just scanning through each wondering how they might appear to my new parents. I have to Include Great...

SHAMPTONS: The Joy Play Brings
http://shamptons.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-joy-play-brings.html
My life from the shams to the Dock . essentially the inner west of Sydney. Sunday, May 31, 2015. The Joy Play Brings. Play is Children’s Work. My daughter woke us up with a start. Nowhere in my wildest dreams did I imagine the babies I had longed for and dreamed of for so long would be less than my fantasies. Hannah taught me that she and her brother are so much more. She is MORE of everything. Extra chromosomes, extra struggles, extra fears, extra joys and extra laughter. Across the rolling sea”&#...

Life is hard!: We got married!!!!
http://lifeishard76.blogspot.com/2013/11/we-got-married.html
A space for Dylan. Monday, November 18, 2013. We got married last Saturday. It was a beautiful day, filled with friends and family, kids, good food, and lots of fun. When I was a little girl, I always dreamed of being that beautiful bride, in a long white dress, like a princess. Over the years, we always said we would still get married some day. But some day was far away. After we lost Dylan, I told T I wanted to get married. No matter what, I needed to be married to him. I'm 37 years old, we have two be...

The Bassham Blog: June 2011
http://basshamblog.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
A look into our little family's life! View my complete profile. Friday, June 24, 2011. Warning: if you don't want to read about potty training, you should probably stop here. The big hurdle has been going #2 in the potty, so we promised Rhett his very own Woody doll (or "Woody dog" as he calls it) from Toy Story if he would do the deed. Little did I know, the Woody doll is sold out in most stores right now, so even when Rhett held up his part of the bargain (twice! We'll see how potty training progresses!

Life is hard!: Feelings
http://lifeishard76.blogspot.com/2014/01/feelings.html
A space for Dylan. Wednesday, January 22, 2014. I've been thinking about writing this post for a while now. But part of me has been hesitant to do it because when the words are written down, maybe it becomes real. I have been in a weird place for a while now. I don't know when it started, or why, I just know I've been feeling like this for a while now. I am not sure I still want to get pregnant and have another baby. There I said it. The one thing I've been thinking but haven't yet dared to say. This mon...

SHAMPTONS: December 2014
http://shamptons.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
My life from the shams to the Dock . essentially the inner west of Sydney. Friday, December 05, 2014. Round up from the Dock. Hannah's primary school fail too, sometimes. But boy oh boy - they keep at it - and they get it so much more regularly than they don't. They are a wonderful pinup poster for inclusion. It pervades the community. I want to translate that experience to the HS that I work at. It's worth it. Wish me luck. Hannah still loves swimming - and is working on her 'big bubbles'. We had a wond...

Life is hard!: Two years ago today
http://lifeishard76.blogspot.com/2014/01/two-years-ago-today.html
A space for Dylan. Thursday, January 30, 2014. Two years ago today. Two years ago today, I was pregnant. Pregnant with a 22-week belly. Very happily pregnant. Two years ago today, I had no idea. I had no idea about the horrible thing which was happening in my body. Two years ago today, I was at work. It was a Monday. A Monday like so many of them in the past. I left work at 5 and was convinced I would be back in the morning. Two years ago today, my children had no idea how hard life can be. January 31, 2...

Stoner Family News: September 2012
http://daveandstephstoner.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. Great Wolf Lodge is a huge resort with an indoor water park and arcade (those are the main attractions). We didn't take pictures in the water park because we didn't want to risk ruining the camera, but I guarantee, it was a blast! You get a view of the water park from the lobby. The kids got really excited when they saw this. Getting messy with a chocolate cupcake. Breakfast in bed.. The kids, especially Audrey, were fascinated by the fish tanks at the Rainforest Cafe (which ...
