The Norton Family: 6 months, Today
http://daveandshannonnorton.blogspot.com/2014/01/6-months-today.html
Friday, January 17, 2014. 6 months, Today. Six months ago today our hearts literally broke. Someday I will get to writing about that whole experience, someday. Today, I miss Paxton. With every cell of my body. I ache to hold his body and kiss his cheeks, ear, on down to his neck; stroke his hair; and feel his hand on my face. I miss seeing him wake up so happy and look towards the window, as if it would tell him what kind of a day it would be. It was so fun for me, too! He was so perfect and peaceful and...

The Jacobsons: August 2014

I called my parents one afternoon in June and said, "We're buying a house. But we can't close until July 30th. Can I come there? Not only did my parents let me come spend almost 3 weeks in there house but they came and picked me up! Every time she'd go down the slide without floaties. It was so impressive that after just 5 days they all were swimming and even Lucy would go under water and kick. One afternoon we went to Pine Valley for some cooler weather. The cooler weather was a treat. I haven't been gr...

Last Day of School. The end of the year at Sippel was awesome. The kids each had little award ceremonies and were so proud of all they had learned. Hannah had pajama day for the very last day. Ashton looked so much older by the end of the year. For the first few months of school these two rode plasma cars to school and Lucy and I would ride them home. Then they started bike riding and never stopped. The bike riders got let out a few minutes before the walkers so they made a great choice.

The Norton Family: Longing
http://daveandshannonnorton.blogspot.com/2012/05/longing.html
Tuesday, May 1, 2012. Ah, that is more about me than it is about Paxton. I have had such the urge to WRITE for so long. It is just so hard to do it. How do you other SNM (Special Needs Mommies) do it? Seriously, I am so grateful and appreciate people reaching out so much. I am loving meeting new people who share similar experiences and stories and emotions. It is a great blessing to make those connections and strengthen each other. I just never get time on my computer! Don't you people sleep? Paxton coul...

Monday, September 2, 2013. As much as it feels like everyone in our immediate world knows this, there are some readers who I know do not. Our precious son, Paxton, passed away on July 17. You can read his obituary here. I have wanted to get on here since to share SOMETHING, .but which of the constant flood of thoughts or many emotions do I choose to share? Where do I begin? This will not be by any means all-inclusive, but perhaps satisfy the demands of my heart to share .something. Mourning is one of the...

Friday, July 13, 2012. I cannot believe my Angel Boy is 2! Happy Birthday our Dear Sweet Paxton. How many ways you have enriched our lives. I feel like everyday we are learning something new. Or learning the same thing, again, whether I want to or not. You have helped me to learn oh so much about myself. About priorities. About choosing. About submitting. About seeking. Oh, how we love you! Is someone dancing in their angel whites, swishing their soft fabric over your face? I'm amazed at all you have con...

Saturday, June 8, 2013. An incredible hearing aid that Pax can wear around his head instead of in his ears. Being outside more, tolerating outdoor light better (with hat and sunglasses). To St George for Spring Break! Paxton's first time hiking. Put his feet in pool, an napped afterward like he had swam the length of the pool. :) We felt so normal and think he did, too. He IS a ball-boy! I would cry; he would laugh. I love his way of expressing his joy. I think he knew something was up because he...Mirac...

The Norton Family: D-Day
http://daveandshannonnorton.blogspot.com/2010/05/d-day.html
Wednesday, May 19, 2010. I've had a few of these days in my life. So few I can count them on my hand. I'm not talking about Normandy, but my own sort of awful red-letter days, days that changed my life forever. For me, 2 of them have been my own life-changing Decision Days, one Devastating News Day, the Death of our unborn baby day, and now another big Devastation Day. Am I really hearing this? We love you, Paxton, and we really hope to meet you. May 19, 2010 at 3:22 AM. Love you guys tons! What a strong...
