The reason for my Miles of Smiles blog ...

Only my family will be reading this at first, I am sure, so you already know what I am about to say, but I will say it anyway. We have 4 wonderful children whom we love deeply. Like any other parents, we have dealt with our share of emotional ups and downs. But our world changed completely at the end of September 2010 when we found out our Baby Boy would be born with a Cleft Lip and probably a Cleft Palate. The purpose for "Miles of Smiles" is to share our journey with you ... the surgeries, the trips to all the specialists, the syringe feedings, the normal mommy venting (this is normal, right?!), the no nap days, the arguments with the insurance companies ... but also the many, MANY blessed days in between!
