Wow! Over a month has gone by since I posted anything. So much has happened in a month. Many of you that know us, know that Autumn finally has her palate closed and it was QUITE the ordeal (1 scheduled surgery, 1 emergency surgery and about 15 days in the hospital). She had a vein and muscle from her leg transplanted to her mouth and all areas seem to be healing well.

We celebrated Autumn's 4th Gotcha Day and Dale's 49th birthday both at the hospital.

When we went into the hospital it was Winter. By the time we came out, it was Springtime.

This is our March began...(building snowman mountain at night after the blizzard left about 4 to 6 feet of snow)


And this is how our March ended...(a hike through our forest with Kya, Autumn, Hope, Joel, ChinChin & Angel)


And a 3,500 egg Easter Egg Hunt....





And on March 21st, we celebrated our 1 year anniversary of moving to Maryland. Let me just say, we love Maryland. We love Florida, don't get me wrong and one day maybe I'd like to move back. But this experience of the different season, to experience it all is completely amazing to us.
