Hello again! A few updates/thoughts to share. Anthony is 3. He had so much fun on his surprise birthday train ride. No, I am not talking about the expensive Thomas trainride in Eddyville or wherever, we rode the city train to the next stop, 10 mins away. He loved every minute. I cannot believe my little boy is 3 already. Lukie is doing very well too. He is short and stocky and adorable. He is built like an athlete, but the more I learn about him, the more I think he has a very good musical ear. You may be laughing at me, because he is only a year and a half, but he is just drawn to music. He can hear a song once and sing the tune almost perfectly. He plucks out harmonies on the piano and really listens to what each combination sounds like before he moves on to the next harmony. He likes fifths the most. He will play a fifth for 5 minutes straight, smiling. So cute. Baby 3 has aname and it is Ethan Christopher. It means strong/firm bearer of Christ. I love that.

We're back!

     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.

Saturday Fun!
