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!

Back from Sunny FL to Snowy NY :o(

We just got back from our weeklong vacation in Florida with Mike's family. We had such a good time and Noah was really able to get to know everyone. It was about 75 and sunny most of the time we were there so it was wonderful!!

Noah's First Haircut!

I let him play with the drawers in the bathroom for 30 min while I ran my fingers through his hair and cut away!

Before: He looked like he hadn't been fed in a week.


After: Too cool, I think he's screening my calls!

Update on Gus and Dakota...

1/27: Well I think Mike is having a hard time parting with our furbabies. For now they will stay put but I think if we found someone that would really love them we'd definately still consider giving them up.

We love them very much but Gus and Dakota need a new home. I just can't live with my allergies forever and Noah has gotten so fast on his feet, Gus does not appreciate him tugging on him. They are both very affectionate but it must be on their terms. Dakota is very skiddish around new people but she is very sweet. Gus has a bit of a temper if you try to manhandle him but he loves affection - if he comes to you. Gus (Orange) is almost 4 yrs old and Dakota (Black) is almost 3. They really need a home without small children where they can just do their own thing. We have had them both since they were babies and they are both spayed/neutered. They both have always been indoor cats.

We wish everyone a happy, healthy New Year!



We had a wonderful holiday season this year. Noah's Grandma, Nanny, & Aunt Kim came up from FL to spend some time with us. We are really looking forward to bringing Noah to FL in Feb to meet the rest of the family as well!

Our new house...

We finished moving, yah! We have a really nice covered deck in the back and inside is clean and bright so we are really happy. And we're in a great school district so we don't have to worry about Noah starting school while Mike and I finish our degrees. Now we just have to find a new place for everything...
