Amazing friends...

It's Mom's turn for a moment....
We are forever grateful to our cleft friends, and this is just to remind them how thankful we are. I speak with our cleft affected families daily through email, blogs, and even phone calls. I have learned more through this process through them than they will ever know, and for that, we are all so thankful for them. Here in pictures is a glimpse into the little lives of some very important people to us. We love you all.....

Thank you for including Drew on your video! I'm so happy that I am now a part of this wonderful circle of "cyber" friends!!! Wouldn't it be neat if one day we could all meet -- at Disney World or something!?!? You never know :)

Thanks for that, Janeen. It was a nice surprise to see Abby's smiling face when I logged on yesterday. You are such an amazing lady, I'm honored to "know" you and your beautiful family. We love you too!

I am speechless. What a special tribute to the bond we share...God has a reason for everything and I know we were all blessed with special babies for a special reason. I know one of those reasons HAS to be meeting such wonderful cyber friends. I 100% agree with Krissy. We need to arrange a "meeting". It would probably take awhile to arrange...but renting a huge house all together and spending a special week sounds fantastic!!! Maybe one of these days...

I work with Reid's grandma Carol and have been following Reid's journey through her. I to, have a son with a cleft palate and cleft palate, he is now 19 years old and it's amazing to see all the things that doctors have learned in 18 years. Also I feel a connection between other cleft lip and palate children and their parents . We are blessed to be given these children because they have so much to teach us about life and strength.They are all beautiful children I really enjoyed the video and music . It brought back memories of when David was a baby, thank you.

Janeen, Thank you for including Makenna in your song! She enjoyed watching all the babies and when she saw herself she squealed with delight! We are lucky to have these wonderful children! Reid looks awesome, what a handsome guy!

Hello, and welcome to my page! I am so glad you are here. I am going to try and show you the average life of a 5 year old from my perspective. Mommy and Daddy will help me along the way if I get stuck.

Let me first introduce my family to you. I am Ellie. I am a 6 year old. I live in Ohio with my Mommy, Daddy, little brother Reid, and dog, Sophie. My mommy is a teacher. She teaches nine and ten year olds and loves it. She has been teaching for twelve years. My daddy works with computers. He works hard everyday.

We all love spending time together. I have wonderful grandparents and a terrific extended family. I am a very lucky girl. Thank you for visiting my page. Write to me any time. I love getting mail!!!

Many blessing to you all.
