All about us!

Here I am posting my first blog post ever! I figure I'd better introduce my awesome family first! I'm Bri, a stay at home, homeschooling mom with 5 kids and married to the love of my life Scott. Scott sells insurance and is a sports fanatic! Our kids are Jake-9, Genna and Grace-7, Jordan-5 and Spencer born 12/31/08. Scott also has 3 kids-Bethany, Jared and Jason who are all grown up! We are one big family who loves our crazy life!!!

We just found out that our son Spencer has achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism. The shortened name for his condition is achon. It's pronounced "akon", yeah like the rapper-LOL!!

This blog is dedicated to our journey through achondroplasia.

I've learned alot in the last two weeks about this thing called achondroplasia. And I've found that God has provided me with an amazing peace about Spence's condition.

I know one thing Spencer may have a little body, but this kid has one BIG personality!!!

More about our crazy family coming soon!!!
