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.

Halloween on Main Street.
Ready to go... We went trick or treating on Main Street. The whole street was closed off to any traffic and every store there was giving away candy, what a fun event! Needless to say it was PACKED!
Even the Police was giving away candy...
Sam had a deal with Jeff..he told her he would buy any Butterfinger she got for 25 cents each. She was all over that, she is always looking for a way to make money! lol
Both Sam and Anaïs were a little sick though so they definitely didn't have the same energy level they usually have. I think they still had fun though.
What a fun time (even though they weren't feeling well). I agree with Trisha - that's a pretty good deal that Dad make with her! How much did she make?
Awww...in the post from her school festival I could tell Sam was not feeling 100 percent. She is usually much more animated. I hope both girls are recovering well from the croup. Poor things. I think it's awesome that Sam sold her candy to Jeff. A business woman in the making! Whoo hoo! I love all the pics of the girls in their costumes. I also love how Anais gets in on all the action!
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.
