Tyler's feet!!

We just had a Dr's appt. with the Ortho Doc today and he gave Tyler an A+. There are 4 areas they look at with Bilateral club feet and his feet are doing great in all areas. We don't have to see him again for 6 months and then again at age 4 when they will decide if he needs to have surgery or not. The Dr said he thinks Ty will just breeze right through these appointments and most likely won't need ANY surgery at all. I am so thankful for his foster parents who were diligent about putting on his braces every night and the wonderful job they did with the Ponseti method of casting while he was in China. Oh and he got some new braces too.....his little feet are growing. 1 more year of sleeping with these on. He is such a trooper, doesn't even cry when I put them on every night.

Thanks Amie!!

I just wanted to say thanks to Amie at http://www.heart-smiles.blogspot.com/ for the wonderful gift of a blog makeover!! She is awesome and I so appreciate the wonderful gift. Amie is adopting the cute little boy that I was advocating for, he is one of my little boys in foster care at Shantou through LWB. I fell in love with this little guy and I knew the first time I talked to Amie she was meant to be his Mommy. Thankfully God had the same plan too and soon Samuel will be joining his big and wonderful family!! God is good!!

Happy Easter!!

I know this post is a little late but we have been a little under the weather at the Callahan house. Matt, Tyler and I came down with bronchitis and we didn't get to have our Easter egg hunt until a week after Easter. Luckily, my AMAZING never get sick daughter only barfed one day and got the sniffles but that was it....no antibiotics needed for my super-immune system little girl!! She has been with us for 3 yrs and has only pucked twice. I consider myself VERY lucky on this one.

Gotcha Day Party

huggin cousin's. They don't get to see each other very often so they were pretty huggy this visit. So cute!! I think Tyler is almost cross-eyed in this picture he is so tired. Missed his nap and way toooo much sugar going on.

Piniata time!! YES more candy....

BTW, that isn't a Christmas tree anymore. My Mom decorated it with little bunnies and eggs for Easter.......It is really cute and she said she is going to keep it up all year round. What holiday is next?

Grubbin again on some cupcakes!!

Gotcha Day continued.........

We then went to our favorite Chinese Restaurant for lunch! Here is Aleaya sipping her tea. I don't know why my kids love to drink tea so much but it is amazing how much they can drink

Belated Gotcha Day pictures

We started off the day with Gotcha day pancakes!! Aleaya and Tyler loved them and amazingly they eat every bite! I would have had a belly ache.
