We're doing this out of our love for children, and our desire to do our best raising them to become good adults. We believe parenting is a sacred responsibility.

Thanks to everyone for joining our efforts to raise awareness of spina bifida throughout this month! Did you find our article, "Types of Spina Bifida," discussing the types of spina bifida useful in increasing your understanding? What would you have found helpful to have included?

Good grief! You have to read this one: Mom sues police and neighbor after she is arrested for letting her kids play outside

Short version: Mom allowed her 2 children, ages 9 and 6 to ride their scooters on their quiet cul-de-sac in front of their home. Mom claims that she was sitting in their front yard watching the whole time. A neighbor, however, made a report to police that the kids were outside unsupervised riding their scooters in the street. Police came and arrested the mom -- charging her with child endangerment!! She was kept in jail overnight for 18 hours.

Thoughts?

Today marks the 11th anniversary of '9/11'. Throughout the U.S. there will be tributes and memorial ceremonies in honor of those lives lost that tragic day. Many of us can still recall exactly where we were and what we were doing when we first learned of the attacks -- including a lot of our friends in other countries. While we will "never forget", we know through the stories of our past, that in time, this too will fade into a small mention in history books -- just as the attack on Pearl Harbor and D-Day have for older generations.

For now, we continue to reflect. What is your 9/11 story? and a twist... how do you feel that this tragedy may have changed/shaped you in a positive way?
