Kids' K! They made it the whole way!

A little song and dance

If you want to know what this is about you will have to look up Fresh Beat Band...

Running day

Sometimes it is hard to tell who does the 3 mile run on Saturdays...

Gluten filled love

Since Daddy P has discovered he is allergic to gluten we have to be sneaky and go to get bagels when he is at work...

Great aunt

The kids' great aunt came to visit. They (and we) were very spoiled. I don't know which Kate liked more: Cece sleeping in her room with her or the new bike she was given as an early Christmas present!

Since then we have gone on a bike ride and the kids are in love with this new activity. And, with only one in the carrier now I actually have a shot at making it more than a mile.

Long drive

Drove up to Daddy P's work for a carnival. I got Starbucks out of it and they got cotton candy. All good.

Playing Momma

Drama drama drama

Last week was slightly exhausting with all the doctors trips.  Kate had her adenoid out on Wednesday.  It went well, but wore her out, so she ended up staying home Wednesday on.  Jacob hit the allergy doc on Thursday, and they drew blood.  Still waiting to hear, but the verdict is:  no eggs (even in baked goods), no nuts, no... who knows.. what else?  Seems like there is more...

And, now we know that he is allergic to ant bites as well!  And, apparently, the severity of the allergy is progressing, so if he's bitten on his face or throat we need to get immediate help in the future...

Sigh...

The kid is just asking to end up in the ER or with a needle in his thigh.

I blame Daddy P.

Fierce hugs

I wish I could bottle these.

Jacob and Mommy Day

Our day was a little different... it boiled down almost entirely to
playing outside. On the patio, having a snack, riding the tricycle,
riding the scooter, walking, digging, running. Some food and napping
mixed in.

I realized how little of this I do with my little guy since he's the
second... a good reminder to take more time for this while I can and
he'll have me.

Kate and Mommy Day

Kate and I celebrated my birthday with a special "Kate and Mommy Day."
This started with donuts. Then, we went to the playground but her
finger hurt too much from jamming it to play (see: broken finger).
Then she went to work and enjoyed herself in my office while I ran my
group. Next up: mac n cheese at her favorite "mac n cheese
restaurant" for lunch. Pool after nap, then lots of cuddle time. We
both had a blast.

First Broken Finger

A slightly swollen, slightly broken pinkie. Nothing to do but buddy
tape and wait!

Kate and Jacob perform a favorite kids' song of theirs. Loudly.
