My favorite thing about this year was that Sparklers are legal in FL!! I love sparklers. By the way all fireworks are legal in FL so you basically just walk outside and wait for everyone to go nuts. I was so excited to go outside and light them up and get some great pictures and then I looked at them afterwards and saw Mike's patriotic t-shirt. Ugh. Luckily I still have a box a sparklers left so I may have to stage some photos...this time with makeup and wardrobe. ;o) It was a special day though. Every patriotic holiday reminds me of how lucky I am to have Mike home. Support the Troops!
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!
