"Smile Pinki"

For those of you interested, we watched this documentary by Smile Train yesterday. Smile Train is an organization that raises money for children across the world with clefts for surgery.

Just to warn you, it's pretty long (about 45 minutes) and if you're like me, you may need some tissues nearby.

Where did you find the full movie? I can't find it anywhere! I would love to see it.

Hi, Mary. I've been checking in on you guys. Ian is so cute. He looks so much calmer than Reid. Reid is so active all of the time. By the looks of some of your pictures, it seems that Ian is just a go with the flow guy. Am I right? He is so cute. As far as teeth go....Reid has 6 as well. Funny, huh? He has the 4 molars and the 2 bottom teeth only. He has had 3 top teeth extracted due to deteoration. So, I guess technically he kind of had 9 but is down to 6. I have been waiting for the other bottom teeth to come in....his gums seems swollen and white...and seem to show that they will pop anytime, but nothing yet. Where are Ian's teeth???? Nice to hear from you, Mary! Take care....and stay in touch!!!! Oh, and by the way, loved the movie Smile Pinki. I have a copy of it so I can add it to Reid's collection of "cleft stuff". Take care!!!
