Happy 8th Birthday Sissy!

Today is the day my sissy Amalie celebrates her 8th birthday! She's very good to me, loving and caring. She gets me up out of my bed in the mornings on weekends so Mummy can sleep in a little bit, makes me my bottle and everything! If I'm crying she's the first to come running and ask me what's wrong and give hugs. I'm lucky to have her as my sissy!

Missing Mom and Dad

Kitty here, taking over Nathanael's blog space...just filled with melancholy and woe, missing my parents so much this time of year. The irony of it, you have great parents, excellant upbringing, sweet sweet memories and yet SO much pain after they go. I relished getting together with the whole family on Thanksgiving, walking in the door, smelling the fresh hommemade rolls baking, turky on the stove getting ready to carve. Mom cooked on an old Home Comfort wood stove. So, it was warm, smelled of wood fire and good food. Most of all, we all caught up on what's going on with each other. I'm glad we had that but missing it sorely. It's time for ME to be the Mom, time for ME to create the memories. *sigh* Time for my siblings to do the same. I have so much love for them. I am truly truly blessed. May God bless any readers I might get on this holiday whether you're here or another continent away. Bless you. Kitty
..and I'd attach photos if my NAS drive power supply didn't fry in a recent power outage..it's wehre all the photos etc are :-( ugh..some days modern technology gets the best of ya.

Brother..can you spare a dime?

or two or three? A dear friend of ours, Amy, who we met on a Trisomy 21 online forum, is very handy with her crafty beading skills and I'm now asking you to put her to work. As the Mom of a lovely child with T21 (aka Down Syndrome) I applaud those people who can decide to use their talents to advocate for those who may not necessarily be able to speak for themselves. Amy makes these lovely Down Syndrome Awareness Bracelets and is now taking orders.

Amy now needs us to advocate for family resiliency in crisis. Amy's husband just lost his job without severance pay. I didn't know they could do that in this day and age but apparently they can. I think the family would appreciate your help during this holiday season and would love to make a bracelet for you or for you to give as a gift. Thank you for your consideration and for reading my blog :)

Belated Halloween Piccies!

On Halloween night he was Tigger!


I defy you to find a cuter "Tigger":






Just you try...:



Here we are in a baseball top for school. They don't allow costumes at school (they've taken ALL the fun out of school...grrrrrrrRRrrrrRRRrrrr) so here he is in baseball attire to make his dear 1-on-1 teacher Jeannine a happy camper!!

I wanted to post a happy halloween post but this is more important.

As election day looms near, I need those who really care about the sanctity of life and the dignity of each and every individual to please to over to a friend's blog at: http://www.gabrielesheridan.blogspot.com/ and watch the youtube(c) clip that's on their blog.
This is a clip about how Mr. Obama clearly supports the practice of Induced Labor Abortions. I may have quoted the term wrong and if I do, I apologize but the point is, he and his party mates agreed unanimously to allow these sorts of abortions and if you're not clear on what this involves, it is where labor is induced in an unwanted pregnancy and once the child is delivered, they're left in the waste room or laundry room to just wait out their time and die, no life supports no nothing. Like they're common everyday unwanted trash. The law is protecting a practice that quite frankly could otherwise we prosecuted as child abuse. If a person were to take a newborn, leave it out on the street to die yet somehow get caught, they'd be put before a judge for many charges including intent to kill. They'd be mentally evaluated and scarred for life. BUT "the law", with this approved bill, has said, eh, you don't have to responsibly care for this innocent child, you can just throw it away in the trash".

I have news for you, this is THE most abhorant sin in the eyes of God. You cannot just decide to take another life. You can't! I believe that we were once in the spirit realm and we got the chance to come here for a chance to gain a mortal life, a chance to FEEL a chance to LIVE. I believe it's a gift from God, yes to prove our worthiness, but also a chance to feel and taste and experience all that there is to experience that as spirits we cannnot fully experience.

I know not everyone feels the way I do and I know that there are reasons for the actions people take BUT the law is rewording the act to make it sound OK when in fact it's murder pure and simple. I mean doesn't induced labor abortion sound better than "purposely inducing labor and leaving a baby out on a shelf with no swaddling to die" act. Shame on those in the position of power.

I wish I could save all the children hurt in this world. I wish I could hold each one and show them compassion and love. I wish I could introduce my son with down syndrome to all those people who abort such lovely people... he's the loving, caring, sweetest boy I've ever had the priviledge to meet.

All we can do is raise our voices and raise them high. No politician is perfect but when people in the place of power can determine that little premature babies are not worth caring for nor the chance for life or even the chance to be treated with one iota of respect in their dying minutes, they need to be imprisoned for murder. These children's blood is on their hands.

WE NEED TO BE THE VOICE OF THESE POOR INNOCENT LITTLE LIVES. I DON'T CARE IF PEOPLE THINK THAT WE'RE OVERPOPULATED AND THAT THIS JUST WEEDS THINGS OUT. SICK SICK SICK THOUGHTS! PERHAPS PEOPLE SHOULD ACCEPT FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE LIFE THAT THEY THEMSELVES CREATE >>>>>NO MATTER IF THAT LIFE WILL HAVE A DISABILITY TO CONTEND WITH OR NOT<<<<< THESE ARE LIVING HUMAN BEINGS NO MATTER HOW DETACHED YOU WANT TO BECOME, THEY ARE LITTLE TINY BEAUTIFUL BEINGS WORTH LOVING AND WORTH CARING FOR AND THERE IS NO NO >>>NO<<< EXCUSE FOR THIS!

thank you.

Happy Halloween!!
