I just wanted to give everyone a quick update on Addison's surgery. She did great! Her surgery took place Monday about 12:30 and she was done around 4:30. Then we were relesed around 1pm on Tuesday.
The Dr. used stiches, glue and steri-strips to help hold her lip together. She also has a bar over her lip taking the pressure off of her lip when she smiles. That will fall off in the next day or two. We can't see much of the repair with all the protection over her lip, but what we can see she looks great.
I will try to post a picture in the next couple of days. Right now she is still pretty bloody and beat up --- with the bar she looks somewhat like a beautiful hannibal lector:-)
Emotionally she has done much better with this surgery. She slept through past two nights with minimal crying. Nothing like the screaming she did last time.
Thank you for all your prayers. I definetely think they worked. We will keep you updated on how things are going.

Happy Easter!
We had a wonderful visit with Lori, Brian, Gavin and Landon. It was nice for me to finally get to meet Brian, but of course everyone was most excited about meeting Addison. She had a ball with the boys and was giving Uncle Brian high fives when he left. While they were here, we went to a couple of places with them, but they also ventured out on their own. It was a nice visit and we were sad to see them go.
Addison is having her lip repair on Monday. We are so excited! She has such a beautiful smile now, we can't imagine how she will look when it is a repaired smile! We pray that she will do well with the surgery and that the recovery will be easier on her this time. Check back next week for some updated pics of Addison.

Addison Turns 2!!!
On March 10th, Addison celebrated her 2nd Birthday! We are so thankful that she was at home with her forever family on her special day. She had a great day, with lots of presents. She was a little overwhelmed by the whole celebration, however she loved hearing us sing "Happy Birthday." Today she kept trying to get me to sing it to her again.
Addison continues to blossom. She is saying more words and learning more signs everday. Her favorite thing to say right now is "Alright!" Her lip surgery is scheduled for the 24th of March. We can't wait to have these initial surgeries behind us.
This Friday, Addison gets to meet her Aunt Lori, Uncle Brian and cousins Gavin and Landon. We are excited to have them visit us. We can't wait to show them around DC.
