Forever Family Day

Last Sunday, St. Patrick's Day, marked the 4th year that Gray has been in our family!  Receiving the blessing that is Gray, was such a long answered prayer!  It was a long journey that brought us to the other side of the world where we met a very scared, very upset little 2yr old.  You can read about our whole journey to get him at our adoption story site.

He has grown so much & amazes us everyday with how smart & funny he is. He loves robots, superheroes, legos & costumes.  He loves to make people laugh and loves to be the center of attention. We celebrated with a fun weekend filled with things he wanted to do...hiking, eating out & toys

Happy Forever Family Day Gray!




Our first time meeting him

He was such a sad little guy

The next day was the day he became our son!

After a few days with us, he was all smiles

Great News for Cleft Families in East TN!

We absolutely love our boys' surgeon! He has done 5 surgeries on Gray & 2 on Jax! He has taken great care of them, let me text & call anytime when I have a freak mom question & even has a son who was also born with cleft! I could praise him all day, but wanted to share this article that was published in our local Children's Hospital newsletter! The cleft team that Dr. Ray is a part of has become officially approved as a Cleft Palate Team by the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association and Cleft Palate Foundation!!! It takes a team to treat children born with cleft & the team at Children's is amazing!

Here is the full article Cleft Palate Team Recognized Nationally
