Processed Foods

Our one child who has re-defined the food guide pyramid to include chocolate, sugar, over-processed, over-refined and microwavable. Seriously how he can get as big as he is and insist on the food he does is beyond us. Our other children love their fruits, veggies and homemade foods. This one, well let's just say the more processed the better. Good thing we love him:)

Chasing Rainbows

A couple nights ago, Davin and I were out shopping when a fairly large storm hit. After 20 minutes of heavy rain, there was enough of a break to make it to the car. As I was loading up the car, Davin noticed a large rainbow that looked close to us. In his excitement he said we should go find the end of the rainbow. I figured, it wouldn't hurt. So off we went chasing the rainbow. As we crossed a main intersection, Davin noticed that the rainbow appeared to be touching the top of a book store building. He insisted that we stop and go in to investigate. No sooner was he out of his car seat than was in the store. He went running in saying "there is a rainbow in your store, a rainbow" then insisted on finding it. As I explained what was going on to the nice clerks, Davin started yelling "I found the rainbow". I thought to myself, kidding me? Next thing I know. He found a Noah Ark book that really looked like a rainbow was actually caught in the book. So excited, he asked the clerks if he could buy the book or if they needed to have the rainbow in the store. Of course they told him he could buy it, so I pulled out a gift card to that particular store that I won a couple days prior. Amazingly, it was for the exact amount. So to make a long story short, we are now the proud owners of a rainbow that we found. I guess it is out little pot of gold.

Davin's Drama

OK no surprise that Davin has health issues. I just feel so bad for him quite often. The current thought is that his allergies are exacterbating his TRAPS which in turn is causing recurrent sinus infections. Although we have treated his allergies aggressively, the Md's seem to think that even the slightest allergen will cause his other symptoms to flare. His eyes look like he has cataracts, but it is actually inflammation of the eye. When it covers a lot, he has difficulties seeing, but once the inflammation goes down he can see better. He still is sensitive to light so I bought him some sunglasses today with hopes that he will spend less time hiding out in the house or in doors. For now we are adding two more medications that will hopefully help him get over this hump.

Garden Harvest

Trevor and Tyler deffinately have green thumbs. We have been enjoying the "fruit" of their labors. It has been something that the boys have enjoyed taking a part of. They actually love the eat the veggies from their garden. Yumm! Great work guys. We have also had a lot of fun with playdates with some of our friends. Staying close to home has it's advantages and having great friends are even better. I think we have went though at least a dozen boxes of popcicles. All worth it!
