My life, that is. As a teenager, I would daydream about my life. We all did. Who I would marry, what my kids would look like, how I would dress them, how I would raise them. You can say my vision included my son a being a little sk8ter boy and my daughter rocking rebellion [...]

Knoah has his doctor’s appointment in Feb!! YEAH!! I spoke with the Dr’s assistant yesterday and she is sending me all the paperwork and info we need for the appointment. I am so excited. He is one of the leading doctor’s in the world of dwarfism. I cannot wait to meet him and to have [...]
|I am getting concerned over Knoah’s medical issues. While he hasn’t had any severe complications from the Achondroplasia at this point, doesn’t mean we won’t face them in the near future. I am hopefully going to find out soon enough about an appointment in Grand Rapids in Feb. It’s not too much longer, but consider [...]
|When my husband I bought our home almost three years ago, the kids were at the age where they would start to remember holiday events, or at least certain aspects of a day. Well, as we were finishing the last touches of Christmas morning before the kids get up. Yes, my children have to be [...]

“Nothing”
“You have to want something, what would you like?”

|You know those days when things just sort of pile on for what appears to be no rhyme or reason? I have had one of those weeks. It’s not enough that we have to worry about Knoah on a daily bases, but we have everyday life to think about. Kids and school issues, job issues, [...]

To this point in Knoah’s short life…no pun intended. We have had to prepare for a number of medical issues that could come up. Fortunately all of them can be ruled out through testing.
No sooner was Knoah born; they had to use the rescue breather because he wasn’t breathing. Then they whisked him off [...]
Well, he’s finally here!! After the excitement and drama from the birth, I have a chance to see what my child looks like. I am partial, but I think he is beautiful. I can see his short limbs. His arms reach his waist and no further. Most newborns arms reach to their hips, Knoah’s does [...]
