Sorry about the loooong blog break. I will return now and fill you in on what has kept us occupied. It has been really all about family the past few months, and not finding a whole lot of free time to sit, blog and post photos. We have had a few trips to see family - Philip and Kara were in WA beginning of June - as well as many doctor visits to get to the bottom of some health issues with Parker. We thought she had some allergies or asthmatic issues since she had chest congestion for three months as well as really loose bowels multiple times a day. Good News - test results show she has NO allergies! Which is great, but doesn't explain these other symptoms. My gut feeling is she has a poor ammune system and picks up every cold and malady that she comes in contact with. I am now looking into some natural rememdies to help boost her ammune system. Since she is so tiny (only 16 lbs currently) I hate to see her struggle with these issues. But, she is happy and active. Pray for her... the poops are still a mystery to me. I can't believe I am blogging about crap...
The girls are so much fun!! Haven is at an age that I can take her pretty much anywhere and is a big help with Parker. She sometimes takes the big sister role too seriously and will quickly deem herself "Mom #2". We are still continuing preschool twice a week this summer. Parker is a little bullet on the floor. Not walking yet but why would she want to when she can crawl just as fast! I am enjoying the warm weather and staying active by picking up tennis after 15 years! I love it and enjoy my weekly clinics with the pro and friends. Nate is going through a big transition with his work. He is in the midst of refocusing on other products while dropping a few lines that keep him away from home and on-call for surgeries (I am very relieved about this decision!). However, with change comes stress. But, I feel blessed to have such a great husband who values his family more than income.
Here are a few pictures of the past few months. Some with family... some with friends... some around the home... some of the girls...
See you soon! Lots going on in July. =0)
