My 3 year old
I was just thinking of when we found out we were pregnant with John Paul, right after we got the womb blessing from Fr. W. When we thought we lost him. When we found out he was a boy. When he was born and stole my heart. How is he 3 already?
I love him so much.
I love him so much.

Happy 40th birthday Ken!
In case you're wondering, Ken is way way older than me :)
And since Leo couldn't really eat cake on his first birthday, he very much enjoyed those banana cream cupcakes!
We love you Ken! Happy birthday!

Computer and random thoughts
I can't remember the last time I actually got on the computer to blog! Mostly, that is because our keyboard broke on our laptop. Ken is ordering another one so hopefully I'll be back in business soon. Right now I'm borrowing my dad's keyboard but I have to return it tonight!
I really want to write down all my memories from Leo's surgery before I forget. But he is doing so well. His speech therapist said on Friday that he is the BEST eater she has EVER had. What a miracle! His food world has expanded tremendously since his surgery. I think he's totally used to his new mouth. He's eating some meat, all kinds of fruits and veggies, cheese, crackers, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, yogurt, etc etc etc. I'm so proud of him.
It's a big week at our house this week.... Ken is turning 40(!!!!!!) on Wednesday and John Paul is turning 3 on Friday. I still have no idea what to get John Paul. We do need a bigger sandbox with 3 kids ;) Maybe I can talk Ken into building one..... I really wanted to get him a kitty since that is what he REALLY wants, but can't talk Ken into it. I do have a pretty great cake idea for John Paul so stay tuned!
Hopefully will be getting some professional pics taken this week!
We've got the grill going again and Ken is the grill master, so I have ribs calling my name! Everyone have a great week!

Freeeeeeeeee!!!!
Leo had his 2 week post op appointment today, not in our usual office but in a fancy schmancy plastic surgery office. So weird :)
I was terrified he was going to break something like the trash can that probably cost more than my bed or the lamp that probably cost more than my car. I took some pics of the craziness.
Anyway, his doctor said he's doing great! He got the all clear to take off the arm restraints and resume normal diet! He was thrilled when I took em off and threw em right in the trash! For dinner tonight he had chicken Parmesan, spaghetti, salad, tomatoes, cheese, blueberries and graham cracker! I'm so proud of him and glad this is behind us! Now to get him to talk!
Thank you so much for praying for him. He's doing better than we ever imagined!
Here are some pics of this crazy plastic surgery waiting room. And his last time sleeping in arm restraints!

One week post op
We got a good report from the surgeon today at his appointment, and we go back next Monday and hopefully he will tell us we can take off the arm restraints and move back toward a regular diet, although the boy ate chili and cornbread last night!
The weather has been amazing so we ventured to the playground tonight.
I can't believe how well he is doing. He's the best baby ever.

Doing pretty well!
Still not happy about eating but doing much better with volume! I'll write out the whole story one of these days when I get on the computer! But I will say its been so much better than expected!

First day home
Obviously surgery, a brand new palate, Meds, and arm restraints aren't enough to stop him from making his usual mess!!! 
Just got cleared to go home!!!!
He's drinking breast milk, and ate a few bites of banana and pancake.
Last night at midnight, a nurse came in and asked where I was getting the breast milk I was giving him.
Um, where do you think I'm getting it?!?!
He was up, relatively happy, standing up in the bed, smacking me in the face with his arm restraints and chuckling, and pulling off his monitors about 100x between 11-6 last night. I am exhausted! But he's barely cried at all!!!
