Sunday Song

So i obviously missed my Saturday song, i was too busy re arranging my lounge room and dancing around. So, it's a Sunday song instead. This one pops up quite a bit in my (lounge room) set lists, and i still love it just as much as i did in hmmmm 1987(?).

Saturday Song

My Saturdays have always started with Video Hits and Rage, and when they are over, i will either put on a record or if if I'm feeling lazy, i'll let my itunes decide what to listen to. So, i thought a Saturday Song would be a good way to let you know what I'm listening to and a reminder to me to post something!

Today's post is The Wolves (act I & II) by the ammaaaaazzzzziiinnggggg Bon Iver. There are a few stand out records that have changed my life, For Emma, Forever Ago is one of them.

Get a cup-a-tea, plug in your speakers, turn it up loud and be prepared to be blown away. Enjoy.

WHS Conference 09

We are home safely and (prolonged) seizure free thankfully...although I'm not so sure what went on with Littles today because he slept from midday to 4pm....we'll see where the night takes us i suppose.

This year it was in Coolingatta/Tweed Heads and organised

by J & S who are the lovely parents of Amy who sadly passed away in October 07. It was emotional for all of us knowing Amy wasn't with us but so much more so for J & S as you can imagine. They put on such a lovely weekend and spoke to the group so openly and honestly that it really was very emotional but strangely heart warming too.

I spent loads of time with some of the folk i didn't get a chance to bond with at the last conference and so i feel a lot closer to the group now. Embarrassingly i still don't know a lot of their names but i know who all the WHS kids are! We shared loads of stories and experiences over sandwiches and/or wine and bonded over our little community of our little people. The parents are all so different but the bond between us is incredible and so genuine.

The kids, geez the kids are amazing and so loving. There was plenty of hand holding, cuddling and even a kiss (thanks Riley!). It was amazing to see how much they had grown and learnt new things, and it was so nice to see the changes too. What i noticed most was that the kids not only share the same physical features, disabilities and/or health issues but (most of them) share very similar vocal noises. There's a talk Littles and i have every single day and i found my self having the exact same talk with the lovely Bethany. And then there's the squeal, i thought it was just an Elliott thing but a lot of them seem to do it too.

We spent all day at Wet N' Wild yesterday but the weather was a bit crappy and far too cold for My Littles and most of the other WHS kids which was a bit sad but a great opportunity to get a few last yarns in before we went our separate ways and until we meet in Ballarat in two years time.

AND, a big fat WELCOME TO THE WORLD to my new nephew Maxwell!!
