In numerous places recently I have seen two quotes lumped together. The first is one by Obama: Look, I got two daughters — 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first about values and morals, but if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a [...]

You're setting women back 40 yrs! Back to the days of June Cleaver and Harriet Nelson. Whether you agree with the politics of Sarah Palin or not, we women should proud to have a woman running in this race!!! Stop the "she has children at home she shouldn't be running" or "where are her poor children while she's out campainging?" crap. Obama has kids at home, why isn't he home? Michelle is his wife...

Following the announcement of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin addition to the McCain presidential ticket, the online Trisomy 21 community has been rife with debate. Hostility and hurt feelings have been here, there, and nearly everywhere! Cries from the anguished scream "Stop it! Stop it right now!" coupled with pleas to take the politics elsewhere so they might not infringe on our friendships and unity....

Who would have known that we were such traditionalists? Actually my Uncle and his family gave Vince a Dalahäst when he was born. With his name and birthday on it. Vince loves all things animals, including his little horse: Stretching after playing to relax the muscles. No seriously, he sits like that a lot. He can [...]

I fully intend to spend a bit of time this weekend explaining my political views and how they came to be such an engrained part of who I am. I just read this statement in it's entirety. THIS statement that I have heard taken out of context by not only my husband but by many conservatives debating online. Obama: “When it comes specifically to HIV/AIDS, the most important prevention is education, which...

Haven't had much time to blog lately as our lives have been a virtual whirlwind of activity. I can't believe what we packed into a few weeks (and a million boxes!) The wedding went very well and Dad and Menny are very happy. Dad and Menny both moved out successfully. We managed to pack all of our stuff and move successfully. We even unpacked most of our stuff already. I finished my first week of school....

Back in college, I wanted to major in Education, but my parents were vehemently opposed. They were adamant that I needed to get a my degree in a “regular” subject and go back for a master’s in education. So I majored in English. And then I got married, and the master’s never [...]

BBC News has published an article today on their website today about British cellular research showing that the addition of that extra twenty first chromosome changed the embryonic stem cells they studied. The study, in the American Journal of Human Genetics, says the extra chromosome sets off a chain of genetic changes in the developing embryo... The international team of researchers, which also included...

Someone asked me what my thoughts were on Palin as the VP candidate. I'm not political by any stretch of the imagination! But this election does have me more interested than I've been in the past. I do think it's neat, for lack of a better word, that Palin has a child with Down syndrome; and being so high-profile I hope she can bring positive awareness about Down syndrome to the public - the potential...

When I was in my 20's, I participated in a series of political forums with the company I worked for in New Hampshire. Our company hosted many presidential hopefuls in the 1988 open election, and I was able to meet virtually every candidate that was running that year. Having security clearance, and being among the organizers of the event, I also had the privilege of the "after parties" if you will -...

Vince loves new shoes and when he woke up today (third time this week that he woke up after 6,30) he got the new boots I brought home last night. He loved them. He cried when I took them off for breakfast. These boots are actually super cool, they are rubber boots, so totally water [...]

14. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15. Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. Do not be conceited. 17. Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you,...

Tristan started Preschool yesterday. Although he has been going since before he turned 2 I feel as though yesterday was his first day. You see before he used to go to an Early Intervention (EI) preschool where every child had some sort of delay. He now is in a school where he is the only one with Developmental Delays. I have to start by saying everyone has been wonderful at the new school. I have spoke...
