Fourth of July Weekend :)

By
Oh, we just had a spectacular weekend. The perfect New England weekend really. We moved to New England when we got married 2 1/2 years ago, and now it is really growing on me.  Rhode Island is just so beautiful. On Saturday we went to Watch Hill Beach with the kids. I forgot my camera, but found a picture of it online.
It is every bit as pretty as that picture shows, and there were not many people there either. Anthony just ran and ran and ran up and down the beach. He didn't even look back to see if Daddy was keeping up with him!  He also loved going into the water, and watching the boats and the birds. This was Anthony and Luke's first time at the real beach. It was also our first time going to a RI beach! :)

Sunday was a lazy day. We went to church, and the boys slept most of the day. 
Monday we went to a park in Jamestown with some friends. 4 couples, with 6 kids. It was such a wonderful, relaxing time. 

Anthony spent a majority of our time there throwing rocks into the water. Just goes along with my theory that kids don't need any fancy toys. Just nature!


Sandy belly!!


Baby Luke is chillin out in the shade.


Anthony was fast asleep before we even packed the car up to go home! haha!

You can't tell me that is not beautiful!

We then went home, got cleaned up and went to a fourth of July cookout held by some friends.

Little Luke being very patriotic!


Anthony must have eaten about 10 pieces of watermelon!


Our friends Tiff and Kayden, who is 2 weeks older than Luke.


Anthony and Chloe became fast friends



Tired faces mean its time to go home! 
No fireworks for us this year, but maybe next year! We will see :)
Hope everyone's holiday was fabulous as well.

Dinner time???

By
So for once in my life, I was so excited to have a nice dinner ready by the time Ian got home. He told me he would be home at 5pm. I called him at 5:30 and found out he stopped somewhere to pick something up that he was looking for on craigslist. The following conversation happened: "Where are you?"  "Picking up that vcr/dvd player we talked about." "What?!?! WHY!!! DINNER HAS BEEN READY SINCE 5!" "Well, it is 5 mins away from work so I figured it would -make sense to just get it now."  "Ugh , well now dinner is cold"  "You guys can eat without me if you want"  "No. Are you kidding me? I did this for you! We aren't eating without you!" "Ok, so what do you want to do?" "What do you mean 'what do I want to do?' I JUST WANNA BE MAD ABOUT IT!!!" *I laugh because as I yelled that last part, I caught wind of my complete irrationality.*  "hahahaha, ok well you can do that. OR...

We're back!

By
     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...

Anthony's 2 year old check up!

By
Today was a good day. Tough, because Anthony woke up around 5:30 this morning again, and did not nap today. But he should sleep really well tonight, so I am not worried. It is situations like this that I really appreciate being a stay at home mom.  Our schedule is so  flexible. I cannot imagine the stress of having to wake up at a certain time every day and be out the door no matter how much sleep the kids got the night before, etc. So anyway, today was Anthony's 2 year check up. He weighs in at 28.6lbs, and is 34 inches long. Still a peanut, but following his curve very well. We also got the allergy tests back and it confirmed that he is allergic to eggs, all nuts, and all seafood. Poor kid! Thankfully, we now have an epi-pen, and we were referred to an allergist. I am so glad we are getting all this out in the open, instead of being scared to introduce him to new foods for fear of an allergic reaction. All in all it was a really great appointment. I just love our pediatric...
