Well she clearly did a lot right because I love your blog! You have a great family and beautiful daughter. Love the bouffant hairdo. :-) My mom had one too PLUS she had the cats-eye glasses!
I have never posted before but been tempted too and even to email you about a few things. We have 4 children adopted from Korea, 3 with some level of SNs. We are still trying to get dx on 2 of our kiddos.
Keep up the good work. I may not agree with all your political and religious perspectives, BUT they always get me thinking and THAT is a good thing! BTW - I loved your book too. So good to connect with some other parents of kids with SNs.
Today is delurking day in the blogoshere & I have come out to say that not only am I a fan of yours (ever since your description of the vikings gave me a much needed chuckle) I am awarding you with the Lemonade Award:)Thank you for sharing all that you do:)
Hi! My name is Sarah and I'm a long-time follower of your blog (and a reader of your fantastic book) but a first-time commenter. I'm a college student who works with special needs kids. I also follow more than 200 blogs, and I'm sending a very special message to all the blogs I follow: YOU have the chance to be part of a miracle!

Chase Community Giving is awarding $1 million to 5 charities! The Gwendolyn Strong Foundation is working to find a cure for Spinal Muscular Atrophy - and they could use the money!
Fast Facts: - SMA is the #1 genetic killer of infants under the age of 2 - 50% of those diagnosed will not live to see their 2nd birthday - kids with SMA lose the ability to sit, stand, walk, talk, eat, swallow, and breathe - 1 in 40 people is a carrier - the National Institute of Health says that SMA is the #1 CURABLE disease if given research funding - right now there is NO cure and NO treatment - right now SMA is a DEATH SENTENCE
Want to change that? Vote for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation on the Chase Community Giving app on Facebook! You have five votes to tell the world that you want a CURE for SMA!
Tell your friends and blog contacts - let them know they could be part of a MIRACLE - be part of a CURE - and give these kids a FUTURE!
Happy birthday, Mom.
Oh my, I love the hair. And I love that you love your mother. She raised a good one who is raising another good one!
ReplyDeleteI blame your mom for me liking you, darn it. ;)

ReplyDeleteThat cake is amazing! Did your mom make it?
This reminded me of Schuyler--your expression, and the way you're holding your hands. And it turned out I was remembering her recent b-day pic:

We all like to point out Schuyler's resemblance to Julie, but she's also you, through and through.
She looks like Reese Witherspoon!
