Knoah’s (ARC) Achondroplasia Resource Center

Yes, Cheryl, you did!
Cheryl Burke (click to see video*), Dancing with the Stars dancer/actress, apparently doesn’t know a slur when used.
Once, okay, you made a mistake.
Twice, you just don’t know any better.
Three +, well, your TRYING to be offensive.
Yeah, I think it warrants a complaint to ABC.
On June 29, 2008, the television show TMZ did [...]

*Foreword: I am only going to display photo’s of my family and some friend’s from the convention. I did not take any photo’s from the convention other than that! I am sure you can figure out why. People, unknown to us, will take such photo’s and use them without regard to the individuals feelings or [...]

We had a GREAT TIME!!
It is overwhelming to come back home after several days of talking with people, making new friends, seeing old friend’s and reflecting on what our 1st Conference means to us.
So, for now I will just show a lot of pics!!

Here is Dan and Owen!

Here is Sarah and Kaela! Kaela was watching [...]

Cat brought up a great subject!
For What Is Normal? We are going on a year and a half old!
When I started blogging in December of 2006, my intention was to familiarize my community, Monroe, with Knoah. I knew it wouldn’t be long before people had heard about him and I wanted to beat them to [...]

I’m sorry, say what?
“Sometimes, when the gene change is in a non-coding part of the genome, they have no effect. At other times, they can be harmful.”

As a mother to three children, one who has Achondroplasia, I would hope that as a geneticist, you are not so insensitive [...]

*Pay attention to the chicken*
Dialogue:
Hannah: Why would anyone want to hurt that chicken? Such a beautiful chicken, such a pretty chicken, such a harmless chicken…I just don’t understand…
Chickens don’t have knives, chickens don’t have guns, chickens are beautiful! That chicken wouldn’t hurt anyone! Why would someone hurt that wonderful chicken?
Me: Hannah, don’t you like to [...]

It seems if lately life has a mind of it’s own.

Wait, I am talking about MY life, right?
Um, yeah. So, in all the madness and crazy moments we have experienced, I still find time to just watch. I watch everything, people, the kids, strangers, friend’s. I watch and almost study them. How do they react [...]

Mr. Baby-Sweats-A-Lot has made a reappearance!
Knoah is a bucket of wetness lately. I think as the summer goes on, the less clothing he will be wearing. You already know our last name…now we see why the station masters gave the immigrants the names they did when people were arriving on Ellis Island.
I am holding back [...]

We finally got it! With several video’s under our belt, a vid of Knoah walking! He also gives you a little extra!

One of the advantages of living downtown is you get to see ALL the action!
My action today…
Waiting for the Big Brown Truck to deliver Knoah’s chariot!

I see the Brown truck drive up and down my street, delivery it’s booty to unsuspecting businesses. The sound of the $4.95 cent per gallon diesel fuel leaving vapors in [...]
