~Oh and did I mention work at our business

I know that this isn't all that has been going on but I thought I would highlight just a few things.

In between all of this Sholey had her second set of tubes also and her speech therapy and cleft palete are doing good but we will have to have her palete lengthen because we feel that it's too short.  Also after that along down the road we will have to have a bone graph done to place a tooth where her palete opened~

What's Been Going On...

On October 20th, 2012 we welcomed "GREYSON ALLEN REED" into this world. 

Here are some pictures leading up to this moment…

 then some pictures afterwards…

What's Been Going On…

We have been one busy family in the past year and five months.  For starters our grandson "Greyson" was born October 20th, 2012.  And that was a wonderful time but also a very hard time for me.  The reason being is Sholey has been SOOOOO attached to me it was hard for me to leave Sholey in the waiting room while I went to check on Ash and be there for her.  It was hard on me to really enjoy the birth of my first grandson and being with my daugther Ashley during this time, but we made it through and Ashley had to end up having a c-section.  Here are some pictures I want to share…

One Ashley's Baby Showers that William actually kept Sholey~

These pictures were ones I want to keep on our blog because it's the first pictures took by our wonderful friends; John & Shawn Carrell, AND it happens to be the two of my favorites.  Thank you John & Shawn~

WE ARE ON OUR WAY...

Well God has done it again, I am so blown away by HIS plans and how HE, and I say "HE" has worked things out~  God knew our hearts and  our desire to be here for our sons wedding on August 4th and HE also knew how bad we wanted to leave and bring Sholey Joy home right after the wedding, well HE has done just that, we leave August 8th!  

New Pictures of Sholey...
