Hi all - I am Lynn, Mom to Sweet Caroline, born 1/16/02 - I think Neil Diamond had her in mind when he wrote the song She is picture 87 in the December 2002 album (the cute red head with Santa!), thanks to Susan, Emily'sMom for posting the picture! Caroline, thus far, has no health problems, just that little something extra. She is the best/easiest baby you could ask for. I have been lurking on this website for many months and have posted a few times. I appreciate all of your advice and I love to read all of the stories. Tom(who is my dh) and Caroline (our only child), Tabitha Josephine (our Dalmatian) and I live in a very rural part of Virginia and the closest Ds Assoc. is over one hour away - so Uno Mas is much better, easier and makes me smile every day Thanks for being a wonderful support group and maybe we'll get to meet you all some day. Sincerely, Lynn (Caroline's Mom)

Well Hello there Sweet Caroline (I'll bet you fully live up to your name!! ) and the rest of your family! Lynn, it's nice to get to know you better. I did see your beautiful red head w/ Santa in the photo album and I did notice that she was breaking the law, by being over the legal limit of cute Truly, she is wonderful and it's so nice to read your intro! We got a chance to chat once or twice.. I am Debi, Mom to Gabe.. we are the ones from BFE Iowa, LOL ;D ;D I SO know what it's like to live in a rural area and not have easy access to any support group.. Uno Mas friends are JUST the best and they do not require any gas to get to them! So post often and glad you are enjoying all the stories.. I sure am! (and yes,Susan is a TRUE sweetie to post those pics, even if she DOES leave SOME people off the xmas card list ROTFL)

What a great birthdate Caroline has!!! It just happens to be mine, too. But I'm not using my birthdays anymore so Caroline can have mine! I'm Shannon, mom to Shelby (4), Alicen (3), and Jamie (17 months with DS), stepmom to Jess (11) and Aaron(9). Geez, did I get everybody?? OH! And a military wife to Staff Sgt. Jim (who, ironically, is in Virginia right now!) We, too, live in Iowa like Debi and her crew, although we are not out in BFE. We live just outside of Des Moines and I am about to be president of our group Up With Down. Thanks to Debi, it looks to be a good year for us.
I LOVE the pic of Caroline! She is a doll! I can hardly wait to hear more about her and your family! Join us in chat some night! We'd love to have you!
Shannon

Welcome Lynn and Sweet Caroline (now you know I will be humming that song all day... buts thats okay.. while I am humming I will visualize your sweet little red head!)
How adorable she is!
You will love it here in Unomasland!!! The moms and dads.. and grandparents and aunts and friends who post here are fabulous and very very insightful. I must admit that I am just like Debi in that I live in VERY rural America... the Upper Peninsula of Michigan (North of Green bay WI).
There is nothing in the way of support for us so Uno Mas has gotten me through some pretty rugged times and has shared in Katies joyful acomplishments. So post up.. let us know what Caroline is up to and how she is progressing!
Oh yeah, by the way, I am Cathy (aka the Warden) and my preciously enhanced jailbird is Katie. She just turned two and loves her beautifully challenging 3 year old sister Emily..
Hugs to you,
Cathy

Welcome Lynn, Caroline, & family!
Uno Mas is the best, no matter where you live! I finally found a support group, and I live right outside of Chicago! So, it's not really about where you live, but about how resourceful you are!
Anyway, this is a fun group! Stick around... - Carol
