| A face of Spina Bifida |
That is what I wish to make you aware of today- Fun!
I have seen some posts running around this month to help make you aware of spina bifida and they are rather frightening..... and false!!! Spina Bifida does mean that there are some extra routines, and extra concerns. Extra appointments, and extra expenses- AT TIMES!!! Those extras though are by far in the minority. Most of the time we don't even think about Spina Bifida... We just live our lives and try to make the most of them in every way that we can.
And in that sense- --- We have a lot of fun, regardless of whether Carson has spina bifida or not. It doesn't matter, and it doesnt change our Saturday's of play one bit. If you ever hear that Spina Bifida affects an individual's quality of life then you tell them they have no idea what life is. This is the life we always dreamed of living.... With our boys!

| Look at this big boy!!!! |
 |
| Isn't this my baby??? |
 |
| Oh Gracious!!! |
 |
| No Silas' were hurt in the next few pictures and these attempts of riding together |
 |
| This was Carson's idea- They both loved it. |
 |
| Playing Croquet |
 |
| He then decided why don't I just grab the ball and throw it.... |
 |
| And he rode off into the sunset.... |
Life is sweet and so good! We are blessed beyond measure.... even with spina bifida. You know I'd be so bold as to say that we are blessed because of spina bifida. We appreciate things that we would have otherwise missed.
I love it!!
