Checking In

It's my understanding that, even though I have been quite delinquent in posting anything new, there are still some people who check this blog out from time to time. Perhaps more feedback from "viewers" would encourage me to blog more often (do you see how I managed to blame YOU for the lack of news on this page recently?).

Just a few updates before I add a lovely video of the kids ... Grace saw a allergist yesterday, and it was determined that she's allergic to peas and nuts and probably to dairy products as well. Tarren will be eliminating all dairy and soy from her diet over the next couple weeks to see if there is marked improvement both with Grace's reflux and chronic congestion. Both the doctor and nurses wanted to keep her after the appointment; she wins them over pretty easily with her quiet charm. She's also begun to crawl in the past couple days, so we need to be a little more vigilant about what we leave lying around now. I suspect that she's going to be a quiet mischief maker (unlike Lucas, whom you can hear coming from a mile away).

Lucas continues to be the doting big brother (you'll notice his fondness for Grace on the video). We've registered him for two days of preschool beginning in the fall; we're pretty sure that he'll enjoy that and benefit from it.

It's cold today, with the prospect of even colder temps tomorrow (highs in the single digits!). It's about time to go someplace warm for a few days!

Here's that video:

You have absolutely adoarble children. Please keep blogging and we (or I anyways), will keep reading and commenting.

BTW I am your wife's mother's cousin.

Being a blogger now myself, I realize how valuable the comments are. You are correct, it IS our fault for not offering proper feedback. My apologies....perhaps if you beg like I do, you might get more.

Looking very much forward to seeing you this coming week, seeing the children in person will be lovely!

Blessings on your travel!

Hugs, Kim

Cheryl had reflux when she was a baby and it was attributed to dairy intolerance. Cheryl would throw up on Pat right after drinking. For a long time Pat smelled like puke whenever we went out of the house.

I hate that word puke, how about vomit or throwup?

either one, they all come out the same.
