In March of 2009 we were blessed with our third child, Israel David. He was born with congenital limb differences and micrognathia. This blog was started to share our journey with friends and family and anyone else who God brings our way. Our hope is to share our miracle with you...and as you read, that you will be blessed. Remember to always enjoy the miracles in your life!

Socks & Shorts
As I have observed people with leg limb differences over the past few years, one thing they all seem to have in common is the fact that most of the time they wear shorts. I always thought this was odd and I didn't understand it. It didn't matter if they were wearing prosthetics or not. My thought with Israel was always to have him wear pants so people wouldn't stare quite as much. It hasn't been until recently that I realized that having Israel wear pants is like us wearing pants that cover our feet and shoes. The ends of Izzy's legs are "his feet". He uses them a lot for different things, and putting pants on him really "disables" him. So I pulled out the shorts and put his socks on. He seemed to be very happy about the whole thing.

Your wonderful Izzy is changing the way you see the world.
You know the Indian saying, 'Don't judge a person until you have walked in their moccasins'? Izzy's saying might be changed to prosthetics.
He's soooooo stinkin' cute! :)

What an adorable boy! Ended up here via a link over at the Born Just RIght facebook page. My son's right arm looks almost identical to Israel's. Always nice to connect with others who are parenting kids with limb differences.
