This blog is about our life. I also want to raise awareness about achondroplasia and share our experience. Our baby girl Anaïs was born with achondroplasia.

Snow in Vegas!!
Yep, can you believe it? It snowed all day today and it was so much fun to see snow here in Vegas!
Sam loved it and wanted to play outside.
Here is my mom hanging out with Anaïs. Her and the kids have been having such a good time together. My mom is so good with them, she loves playing with Sam and taking care of Anaïs.
Also, Saturday night Jeff and I went to a Holiday Party with our friends...and there was lots of fun and drinking there! LOL!!
Like I said...fun and drinking! LOL
My mom and I have been pretty busy since she got here...mainly Christmas shopping. I am so excited for Christmas, I think Sam will be so excited with her presents. On the other hand Anaïs probably won't care! LOL
That's crazy that you all got snow in Vegas! My cousin who also lives in Vegas posted some pic's of her daughter playing in it and it looks like you have more of it than we do in Pennsylvania!
Wow, the snow must have been so much fun for you guys! How ofen does that happen? Looks like there's been crazy weather all over the map these days from the recent blogs I've read!
I am so glad you are having fun with your mom. It must be hard to be far away so this time must be so precious. Her love for Sam and Anais is so evident in every picture! And their cuteness is so beyond!
I am originally from France and have been living in the US since 1999. My husband Jeff is american and speaks fluent french so we are a bilingual family. We have 2 beautiful daughters Samantha born on 5/27/04 and Anaïs (pronounced Ana-eese) born on 6/6/08. Anaïs was born with achondroplasia, the most common form of dwarfism.
If this is your first time reading our blog, read about how our journey with achondroplasia all started by reading Anaïs' story.
What is achondroplasia?
Achondroplasia is the most common form of short-limb dwarfism. It occurs in approximately 1 in 26,000 to 1 in 40,000 births. The characteristic features of achondroplasia are apparent at birth. These include typical facial features, disproportionate short stature, and rhizomelic (the proximal ends of the limbs) shortening. Diagnosis of achondroplasia is made by physical exam and skeletal x-rays. Most individuals have normal intelligence. Infants and children often have motor delays but cognitive delays are not present. A special infant developmental chart has been made for children with achondroplasia. Final adult height is in the range of 4 feet.
