Recuperating after palate surgery

Malia is doing fine. She is on a puree diet for two weeks and then soft foods for 4 weeks. She really wants regular food and is not happy about all the puree, but we are experimenting with different soups and yogurts and lots of blending of whatever we are eating. We enjoyed Christmas with both sets of grandparents and Uncle Nick, Aunt Rocka, and Uncle Gavin. Thanks to Linda and Paul, Marc's parents, for keeping Alex during the time we were in the hospital with Malia. Thanks to Amy and Dan, Dianne's parents, for keeping our dogs, Hobo and Oscar, and giving Hobo his insulin shots. Thanks to everyone for coming together for Christmas. It was perfect (except for missing Kate and Don ~~ understandably though since they were visiting Don's side of the family this year).
