Just breathe.

As the new year is upon us once again, I find myself craving ... rest. Just a year of breathing and settling and adjusting to the blessings God has so graciously given. This is what I am hoping and praying for. Here is a snapshot of the last 5 years. 

2008 - Got engaged, married, and moved from PA to MA (that all happened in the last month and a half of the year... haha)

2009 - got pregnant and gave birth to Anthony, moved to Woonsocket

2010 - Became members of Grace Harbor Church, got pregnant with Luke, moved to Providence

2011 - gave birth to Lukie

2012 - got pregnant with Ethan

2013 - gave birth to Ethan, bought a house and moved


Busy, right? I am not bold enough to declare my own plans as set in stone, but it would certainly be wonderful to have a year of growing in to our life. :)

     Well, things have calmed down in a lot of ways, which frees me up to blog. Something I really enjoy doing. There will be another element to this blog, as I figure out how to navigate the exciting and overwhelming world of food allergies.       My oldest is diagnosed with severe food allergies, and now my 8 month old baby is showing signs of the same things. We are managing severe food allergies to eggs, peanuts, tree-nuts, fish and shellfish. I have eliminated milk from my diet and it is helping the baby immensely. I strongly suspect he has a severe allergy to milk.      So our house has been turned upside-down by food allergies yet again. I had grown used to using milk products as a crutch for making sure my boys got enough of their nutrients. It is likely we will have to transition to a milk free home sooner rather than later. I have already cut it from my diet, and must say that I feel pretty good. I do miss cheese and ice...

Today, naptime = party-time. Today, I don't care enough to stop it. Today, I just close the door and let them play.  Today, I am exhausted in every way. Today, I need a nap probably more than any other day this week. Today, I will not get one. Today, there is paint on the walls and laundry everywhere, clean and dirty. Today I have to wash our comforter and pillows that our oldest son threw-up all over in the middle of the night last night. Today he is feeling fine. Today I am trying to remain thankful through the exhaustion. And as I write this, this line came on from one of my favorite Shane & Shane songs:  "Revive me, revive me not for me but for Your name." Today, I am thankful that God is God.
