Bits of Betsy: August 2009
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Paige has been able to run the dvd player from a very young age. She has favorite movies, and even before she recognized letters and words, she could tell just by looking at them which ones were her favorite. She is so smart that girl of mine! Wednesday, August 19, 2009. Saturday, August 08, 2009. How lucky I will be to witness first steps again! Saturday, August 08, 2009. I think I broke my toe....

Bits of Betsy: July 2009

Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Monday, July 27, 2009. Happy Birthday to my dad. Today would have been my dad's 77th birthday. He died nearly 12 years ago, before he even had a chance to grow old. I think of him often, and miss him dearly. Most milestones - his birthday, holidays, the date of his death - pass by with a peaceful calm feeling, knowing he is still here with me, and that one day I shall meet him again. A shadow of joy flickers; it is me. As you ...

Bits of Betsy: April 2009
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2009_04_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Thursday, April 23, 2009. Today, Paige had a dentist appointment at CHEO. The clinics at CHEO are lined up and down a long corridor on one wing of the hospital. There aren't too many of those clinics that we haven't visited at one time or another - audiology, neurology, opthamology, general surgery, etc. So, it was with this kind of absent minded dreaminess that Paige and I saw baby Michael. Now, I have no idea if that was...

Bits of Betsy: September 2009
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Wednesday, September 09, 2009. Upside down and 'round and 'round. What a crazy mixed up week it has been. My entire neck, back, and spine feel like someone is shooting poison stress arrows at me on a minute-by-minute basis. I'm surely getting old, which I guess isn't that bad of a thing to be doing. She has an IEP in place, and I'm confident that it will be ironed out, as it seems to be mostly a scheduling blip made during the...

Bits of Betsy: October 2010
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Friday, October 08, 2010. For My T21 Sisters. Yesterday, a mom in our T21 group lost her precious daughter. Renee was 10 years old, and had Down syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis. She was a beautiful little girl, and all of us in our "sisterhood" are reeling from the news - saddened in a deep, soulful way, and wishing we could somehow pray it, or hug it, or wish it away. Why must it be real? Two days. And I can't wait to get he...

Bits of Betsy: May 2009
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Wednesday, May 06, 2009. What a lovely night. My friend, Camille's, daughter had her Confirmation on Monday night. I don't know if you can tell, but if you look closely at her left hand, she has her fingers crossed - she is either making a wish, or telling a lie, rofl. That feeling eventually goes away, and I can't even remember the last time I worried, or even thought about anyone noticing Paige had T21. My heart nearly burst...

Bits of Betsy: December 2009
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Sunday, December 27, 2009. It seems impossible that Christmas has come and gone already. It was just yesterday that all the commotion in our house was celebrating Dakotah's 16th birthday. Dakotah has enjoyed her holiday off - she is the typical teenager - crawling out of bed very late in the morning or even early afternoon. Its always in the back of my head that there are just a couple of years left for her to be in our li...

Bits of Betsy: January 2010
http://bits-of-betsy.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Friday, January 01, 2010. Wow - 2010 is here! And so.here we come 2010! Its a quiet day in my house, the snow is falling steady and lightly outside, Dakotah is still sleeping, Paige is watching her Sesame Street New Year video for the 200th time, and I'm trying to be all reflective and contemplative. Its something I've always thought about - how so much of that goes with us, and unless we get it down, it gets forgotten. Which ...

Dancing with the feet is one thing, but dancing with the heart is yet another. Sunday, June 28, 2009. Before the pool was even full. Someone had to stand in the way of the water. It should be fun keeping this guy out of the pool all summer long! Paige has been in three times, and is having a blast - she is getting so much great exercise for her legs! Sunday, June 28, 2009. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. I stole this idea from Dave. So, here is my letter to 15-year old me, on my birthday! You should really lis...
