Random Pictures and Post

Sorry for the long post. This goes to show that I had enough to be posting things all along but lack of time left me to do it this way. Happy reading.

First, as documented by the first picture and I am sure later Eva will hate me for putting this on the web, but we discovered that our little girl is very allergic to strawberries. I suspected awhile back that she might be but a week ago we went strawberry picking and giving her one strawberry to prove to Matthew that I was pretty sure she was allergic she broke out in horrible hives. We felt so bad for her. It was sad to have to break the news to her that she couldn't have strawberries anymore. At first she said, "no mama" because she likes them so much and then sadly, broke down and said, "okay mama" she realized it was only for her own good. She continued to break out for the next couple of nights and since then has had no desire to eat a strawberry!

The second is of our little chunk. He is getting so big. We have his two month appointment tomorrow so I will have to wait to post all his stats.

The third is of more trauma to Eva's face. It has been a rough couple weeks for her. A rough month actually, because in May she had a huge shiner underneath her eye from running into her favorite daycare friend. But anyway, this one is from her crash on our new playstructure. I was pushing her on the swing, and I don't know if I was pushing her too high or if she let go but she did a complete flip in the air and landed HARD face first into the ground. She had dirt in her mouth and teeth and the wounds on her face to prove it. She cried of course but then wanted to go right back outside. She LOVES to play outside. One of the main reasons for her "park" we call it.

The fourth is of our tree that feel during a "storm" we had a couple weeks back. Branches fell off of the tree and into our yard. It created quite the mess. I was pretty worried the whole tree would fall on our house but luckily it didn't. It took Matthew awhile to pick up the mess but he finally finished. We decided that everytime we think we might have time to do a project that we want to do, we get dumped on with unexpected projects. The joys of owning an older home.

And lastly, we have moved Eva's toddler bed into her room but have not taken out her crib because we don't want to admit that our spare bed with the computer and guest bed will have to be surrendered her shortly to our little baby. While we try everynight to convince Eva to sleep in "la cama de Meg" or in other words with little friend Meg's bed because it looks just like hers, she won't sleep there. Well, one Saturday we had a breakthrough and she slept there. The next morning we heard a knock on a door and realized that Eva was knocking on her door so that we would let her out. We thought it was the cutest thing! So, I made her get back in her bed so that I could take her picture. But sadly, the next night did not want to sleep there again and still has not slept there. I have said to her that on her birthday her crib was going to disappear (or go to Elijah) so I will keep you posted on that one!
