October Fun

We have kicked off October with our first busy weekend of the month. If we survive this month, we will probably hibernate the month of November. We headed out on Friday to the Good Hope Association in Laurel. On Saturday, Jeremiah and I attended the Ole Brook festival, Sister Berryhill's 90th birthday party and played with family. On Sunday, we attended church and went to eat with Jeremiah's grandfather, Ken, for his birthday. I have posted some pictures below from our weekend...I hope you enjoy them!

Did you know that October is also National Dwarfism awareness month? With Jeremiah and I both having Achondroplasia dwarfism, the most common type, I thought I would close with a few facts. Eighty percent of children with dwarfism have two average size parents. My parents are both average size and raised me just like their other three children. Robert and I knew there was a fifty percent chance of having a child with dwarfism, but that didn't matter to us. We feel blessed that God created Jeremiah just for us and wouldn't have him any other way. Jeremiah has taught us some much in just these two short years and we are looking forward to seeing what God has in store for him.
