So, whatcha think of our great family picture we took at the Capitol building?  Look closely...

A little confused?  Here are the originals...

If we'd been thinking ahead, we could've actually done this right - stood in the same spot, held the camera at the same angle.  But splicing the two pics together was my brilliant (but late) afterthought.  And too bad I wasn't planning to be in any pictures, 'cuz I would've done something different with my hair!!  But I was pretty proud of my little fake photo anyway. 

Here are the rest of the good and, um, not-so-good pics we've taken this week.  At least there's a few good Christmas card contenders in the bunch.  (Hover over pictures for captions

Our son was also born with cleft lip and palate and his name is also Aidan :) He's 5 months old and he will have a lip surgery on January 19th and it's so helpful to read your blog how you went through with your little Aidan. We also created a blog when I was pregnant and that's when we found out that he has a cleft lip and palate during my 5th month pregnancy and it's www.parra.ca. Your children are so adorable and what a beautiful family you guys are!
