Sorry it’s been so long since we’ve posted on our blog, I’m sure you all know how life can somewhat get in the way of this.
We’ll a lot has happened since our last blog, we had our first thanksgiving and Christmas together as a family which was one of the greatest experiences of all time.
Reese had a ball; she played with aunts, uncles, cousins, and everyone in between till she dropped from exhaustion. She loves family, she loves kids and she loves to eat. I believe that is her favorite pastime, (she just like her daddy!). Reese discovered she likes turkey, ham and most of all mamas’s dressing.
Christmas was truly wonderful,
Reese is over her palate surgery now; her mouth is completely healed and looks so good. It took a little getting used to on her part since she had never had a roof of her mouth before, suddenly everything felt a little strange when she ate or drank but in a really good way. She has adapted to it with no trouble at all. We were scheduled to go back to Scottish rite hospital to have the little mouth piece removed that was sown in at the time of the surgery but one day at daycare Reese decided she didn’t want in her mouth anymore and spit it out on her own eating lunch. This was great for mom and dad because we really didn’t want to see her put to sleep again so soon, this was very traumatic for her.
So we are in speech therapy now trying to learn to pronounce letters and sounds to learn how to talk. We are finding out this is a “not so easy task”,
Here are some recent photos of our family.
Till next time;

Aw! I will have to show Tom these. I always tear up whenever I see how happy Reese looks in the pictures! What a sweet, sweet little girl. She has changed as much as Sidney over the last 6 months. Great news that her palate has healed so well, and she did not have to go through the ordeal you described. Take care!
Cara, Tom, Eliab, & Sidney
It's so good to see that you are all doing well and that speech therapy is underway. It can definitely be challenging but it will get easier and they progress so fast! Reese looks so happy!!!
