  9. I just found your blog from Myra's blog, and I saw your sweet Levi! My sister's family was blessed with a cleft baby two years ago. His name is Les, and he has been the biggest blessing and testimony to God's goodness and grace we could ever imagine! Your little guy is precious! I love his glasses! I will be following along on your journey now! God Bless!
