Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Hi everyone! After all of my drama from last night I realized it was my turn to step up the the plate and reintroduce myself during our " roll call " . My name is Sandy and my family and I live in Waterford Virginia. and I have 4 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and lots of love in our house. We have been married for 16 years. Our son, Jr., is 15 years old and will soon be getting his learners permit (yikes!!!). we have twin daughters who are 13 but are literally going on 25 (yet another yikes!!!!)and then we have our sweet little surprise, Kaylee, who just turned 2 a few weeks ago. We all love her to pieces, she has brought so much joy to our lives. We have had a few medical " bumps " along the way (heart surgery and a leukemia scare) but she has come through everything so beautifully, always smiling. In addition to bringing us all so much love she has taught us to enjoy every moment of our lives, she really has help us to put life into perspective. This tiny little girl who has overcome so much has shown us what is really important in life and for that we will alway be grateful.

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2008 Report Share Posted January 12, 2008 Hi Everyone, Been about time i said hi to all the new members and reintroduced myself. Kristy has been keeping me busy on the website, so I'll blame her.....hehehe My name is Twomey, I'm 36 and I am married to for 14 years, and have two children, who is 10 with mds and who is 8. We live in Narellan, Sydney, Australia. was diagnosed just after he was born. He attends the local public school along with is sister, and is in a mainstream class. He had some aide when he started, but no longer receives individual funding, so he gets whatever the school can provide when they get it, like some reading time etc. He loves school, and is generally a happy kid, oh yeh, and by the end of the year last year, he knew all his times tables to 12 in any order!!!!!. Hi sister is not impressed becasue she doesn't!!! He loves that. Socially the kids love to say hi and do the hi5's after school saying goodbye, but he still doesnt have that friend circle yet. Now that his speech and conversation skills are sorta improving, i hope that it will help this year going into Yr5. We are on christmas holidays at the moment, and go back to school at the end of January, so we are all enjoying the summer heat and swimming in the pool and all the summer fun stuff...(It is good isn't it Fiona!!! LOL) I just wish I didn't have to work as well!!! Anyway, Thats us. Oh and if I can help out any families that are in Australia, (Welcome Narelle) I am more than willing to find anything out you need, as I am the Australian Family Connect Rep.
