In May of 2012 Kenny and I welcomed our baby girl, Lucy Grace. Lucy was diagnosed with Spina Bifida when I was 20 weeks pregnant. Like many other families our experience was difficult and painful to talk about in the beginning. I have attempted to document our journey with SB so our family and friends can stay informed. Although we had some serious medical challenges in the first few months, Spina Bifida does not define our daughter or our family. Kenny and I are so lucky to have two kids we adore. This is our life with a 7 yr old and an infant....with an SB twist!

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs

The muggy, hot florida weather is like a breeding ground for anything and everything. This Banana Spider has been haunting our path to the backyard for a couple weeks now. I'm told he is a small guy at about 3" toe to toe.

These may look like ordinary little grasshoppers....but they're actually about 3" long and 1" thick....nasty!


Now these little guys aren't so bad. They tend to dart in front of you as you walk out of your door. I think they are cute! This one has a bright orange little tuft that blows up under his chin every once in a while. After about 5 minutes of being focused on him I gave up trying to catch it.
