Life in the Arctic Circle. Friday, July 19, 2013. The drive out of town. Ben and I got a few hours to ourselves. We went to this waterfall, just a few minutes out of town. The fort that Ben has been building for the boys in "the backyard". Ben's mom's house/childhood home and where will be living this year,. Is the green house on the left. I think Rio likes the fort!

Life in the Arctic Circle. Friday, October 8, 2010. If People with DS Ruled the World. I received this article upon Phoenix's birth. It was written by he Director of Psychosocial services at the Adult Down Syndrome Center in Park Ridge, Illinois, in 2005. I know it is long, but it is worth reading at least some parts of it! Here is a link to the original. May be easier on your eyes? What would happen if people with DS ruled the world? If people with Down syndrome ruled the world:. Can you imagine what th...

Life in the Arctic Circle: Life in Norway so far
http://lifeinthearcticcircle.blogspot.com/2013/06/life-in-norway-so-far.html
Life in the Arctic Circle. Tuesday, June 18, 2013. Life in Norway so far. Trying to enjoy the 39 degree weather- in June! Ben working on the rock fort he is building for the boys. Frying fish cakes made from fresh haddock caught right here in the Barents Sea. And the last of my Starbucks VIA. It was summer-like weather for a couple weeks. Had the boys running on the beach and wading in the arctic waters. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Life in Norway so far.

Life in the Arctic Circle: The Down Syndrome Creed- Anonynmous
http://lifeinthearcticcircle.blogspot.com/2010/10/down-syndrome-creed.html
Life in the Arctic Circle. Thursday, October 7, 2010. The Down Syndrome Creed- Anonynmous. My face may be different. But my feelings the same. I laugh and I cry. And I take pride in my gains. I was sent here among you. To teach you to love. As God in the heavens. Looks down from above. To Him I'm no different. His love knows no bounds. It's those here among you. In cities and towns. That judge me by standards. That man has imparted. But this family I've chosen. Will help me get started. So special and few.

Life in the Arctic Circle: New surroundings- Oslo
http://lifeinthearcticcircle.blogspot.com/2013/07/new-surroundings-oslo.html
Life in the Arctic Circle. Friday, July 19, 2013. We've been renting an apartment in Oslo for the month with the plan to move here, but, alas, northern Norway calls. We will be moving back to Båtsfjord on August 8 and we'll spend the next year there while we wait for Ben's green card to be processed. Still, we've had a GREAT time in Oslo! We've done a lot of touristy things while here, liking visiting this Oslo landmark-. Warm day- cold, yet refreshing ocean swim! Our little Vikings (with new haircuts).

Life in the Arctic Circle: Phoenix's 1st Violin Lesson
http://lifeinthearcticcircle.blogspot.com/2011/06/phoenixs-1st-violin-lesson.html
Life in the Arctic Circle. Tuesday, June 21, 2011. Phoenix's 1st Violin Lesson. I am hoping these adorably chubby hands will soon be playing the violin. Yesterday was Phoenix's first violin lesson. Why violin? Our family LOVES fiddle music AND someone gave us a violin. So here we are. We found a Suzuki instructor. Close by and we're giving it a shot! First lesson, he didn't even play! When we got in the car after the lesson I rhetorically asked him, Did you play the violin? He didn't play it! View my com...

Life in the Arctic Circle: Literacy and Down Syndrome
http://lifeinthearcticcircle.blogspot.com/2010/10/phoenixs-literacy.html
Life in the Arctic Circle. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Literacy and Down Syndrome. These two manilla envelopes hold a world of possibilities! They teach reading to kids with Down Syndrome, and we all know the importance of being able to read. When I ask for donations to Gigi's Playhouse this is how it is spent. Sturdy, personalized laminated books are made for kids with DS who are learning to read! This is his family book. This is obviously his favorite book! Here is a clip about Gigi's Playhouse. At 1...
