About Me
Hi my name is Pam. My husband and I have been married for 23 years and we have 2 beautiful and intelligent daughters. We love to spend family time together boating in the summer and skiing in the winter. Both Dave and I are ski coaches with Special Olympics of Washington. We find get joy and pleasure in being a part of a unique and special group of people.
14 years ago we welcomed a bundle of joy into our family. Addie was a great baby. She slept all the time. She rarely cried and I remember feeling so lucky that I was able to get 7 hours of sleep the first night she was born. Her sleeping habits didn't change much over the next year. In fact, her sleeping increased. Most of her baby pictures are of her asleep and/or sucking her thumb. Addie didn't like to be cuddled nor did she coo and and look into my eyes when I feed her. When she was 15 months old our world seemed to change. She woke up from her nap and life for our family was never the same again. We struggled for so many years with her and at 9 years old she was diagnoised as high functioning autistic. We have come so far since the early years of her life and the strain it put on our family. Addie is now a very well adjusted 14 yr. old girl. She is unique, funny (adult humor), matter of fact, dependable, reliable, and consistant with everything she does. She is like the North Star -
