A Pirate's Life for ME!





Today was a day of information gathering. Our day began at 9:00 AM with a 2 hour early intervention evaluation. No surprises. Leo qualifies for speech, physical therapy and also a teacher. We will begin with the teacher and physical therapist and speech will be added when he is discharged from the feeding clinic. They will each come to our home once a week for a one hour session each.

We then headed out for the eye doctor, who is not sure where the information about Leo being legally blind came from. Bottom line, he can see! He does have "wandering" eyes, which we had noticed. Thus the pirate patch. He has to wear the patch for 2 hours each day. He will most likely have surgery in the fall to tighten his eye muscles and that should fix the problem.

All in all a good day.

And because we do have other kids...

Introducing the our newest bundle of joy!

We have yet to formally introduce our newest son, so without further ado- Here he is...








Some facts...
Leo was born on April 30th,2010 in the United States.
He is adjusting wonderfully to our family although
Jeremy and I are still adjusting to having an infant in the house.
We have about a month to decide on what his middle name will be.
The adoption will be final in about 6 months.
Leo has many special needs, but his biggest need was a family and we are so thankful that God choose us to be his family.


This may not be the greatest picture of Leo but I LOVE the look on Jordan's face. He loves his newest brother!
