About Me
- Darcy
- I am a stay at home wife and mom to my husband of twenty eight years, and our two daughters, Rachel and Hannah. I initially started blogging when Rachel was born with a cleft lip and palate and needed a place to journal and keep family and friends up to date with her progress and surgeries. Having enjoyed keeping a blog for Rachel, I went on to start a blog for Hannah, and then one for myself. But I've neglected those blogs for reasons unbeknownst to me, despite my love for writing and sharing our adventures, milestones, and my thoughts.

Ethan loves his too! I always wondered if it was because I'm so obsessive about brushing his teeth.
When we went in to see his surgeon about his fistula, we whipped out his toothbrush and his doctor was amazed at how good a look he got. Ethan just opened up wide and we all got a fabulous view. :o)
Such goofies! :o)
You know what we find strange, is that she likes her palate rubbed with her toothbrush. LOL. Not sure why...new feeling?? Palate still tingly from time to time from surgery??? Weird.
