The past........

Sometimes I can see the fear in my girl's eyes. It's a fear of being "left" and being alone. I love this blog post. It is a gentle reminder that our children's past does play a part in their "today".

A special little girl turns 4..........

Our sweet dumpling turned 4 this past weekend. We celebrated all day long! This has been a year full of excitement. She started preschool, learned to ride her bike, and truly understands the meaning of 'birthday'. We were blessed with some fun festivities.

A Day at the Cleft Clinic....

The Dumpling, Nana, and I spent the day at Cleft Clinic navigating the revolving door of doctors and therapists. Dumpling also had a video nasoendoscopy done to access her palate. She is such a trooper. She did not even shed a tear during the procedure. The results indicated the need for additional surgery.
