It's been a long time!

Well, I thought I better update this site some. It truly has been a long time. As you can see from the picture we all have changed.

Andrew is a very chatty, rambunctious 3 year old now. Many of you remember his eating troubles he has had since birth. We discovered in February that the main cause of all of his issues were enlarged tonsils and adenoids. He had surgery to remove them on May 30. The recovery was a long hard process for all of us. Two weeks after surgery life slowly came back to normal. He now is able to eat just about anything without gagging, choking, and throwing up. We are so thankful for the changes we are seeing in him. Since the surgery, his talking has improved greatly as well. He no longer needs speech language therapy. Now we can't get him to STOP talking! :-) His also loves his little sister dearly. Those two are inseparable.

Carole is now a very busy 16 month old. She is into everything! She loves to climb and do whatever her big brother is doing. He favorite word is "happy." She loves to sing it and clap her hands repetitively. Just last month we were finally able to take her off of her acid reflux medicine. We go days and weeks without throwing up now. We are now in the process of trying to get her switched to dairy products. She has been drinking goats milk since she was 4 months old. Back in April we had a bunch of allergy tests done on her to find out what exactly she is allergic to. Come to find out, the only allergy she has is peanuts. That is such a hard allergy to deal with. You would not believe how many foods have traces of peanuts, peanut oil, or peanut flour in them. Even animal crackers do. So now we carry and epipen around with us wherever we go. Better to be safe than sorry.
