Welcome to my blog!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and visit! We hope to share with you our journey of raising a child with Achondroplasia, the most common type of dwarfism. If this is your first time here, please start by reading Caitlyn's Story. It will share the beginning of her life with you. Enjoy!

Wordless Wednesday – January 4th 2011

Lights, Lights and More Lights….

Kinda like the leaves post but trust me there were LOTS OF LIGHTS!!!

Pebble Creek Drive in Rocklin offers an amazing Holiday Lights display.  I would say 95% of the houses are decorated – it’s amazing!!

This night was so much fun and the girls both did great.  We walked around for about 45 minutes – quite tiring on the legs of a 2 year old and also Caty. 

We love this tradition!!  This is our 3rd or 4th year old going.

Getting ready for Christmas…

The Friday that school got out for Winter Break was “Dress in winter wear day” and Caty chose to go as Rudolph…she made for one cute reindeer

Later that day, she and Hanna sat down and listened to Nana and Papa read them “Twas The Night Before Christmas” – I just love this recordable book and so did Hanna because she has listened to it over and over and over again.

Hanna and her jingle bells

We were a little late getting our Christmas tree this year (as in we got it a week before Christmas!).  We’d been told that Wise Buys had some great trees so we had to check it out.  Now if you are unfamiliar with Wise Buys, everything in the store is under $10 – yes, even Christmas trees!!
