The Little Elfman

First let me quickly report that we received her results from the liver planel and everything was absolutely fine! And onto the story: We started reading to Adela at lunch and dinner again as an old feeding therapy trick to encourage those less than favorite foods 🙂  Daddy started with two new story books and

She’s Fabulous as Always!

Yesterday Dr. Seashore saw Adela and was very happy with her progress since the hospital.  We did have blood drawn for a liver panel but won’t know the results for a few days.  He said she looked very healthy, had a good BMI, and was acting just like a normal toddler. He said she was

I want to go home

Today I had to go to the allergist.  It was not very fun and I wanted to go home.  They pricked my back and made me itch and said I was allergic to the same stuff as before.

Happy New Year

Here’s a toast to a new year – Happy and Healthy! We made it through a rather uneventful holiday. Unfortunately Adela and Steven were both sick over Christmas. Adela with a stomach bug and Steven with a bad cold, so we had a relatively quiet Christmas Day.   Adela was not eating well for a few

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree …

Since Adela is at the age where she is now starting to appreciate the excitement of Christmas, we decided to get our tree a bit early.  We went to Back Achers Christmas Tree Farm in Raleigh on Sunday and picked out a very nice leyland cypress for this year.  We tried a cypress last year

Adela also got to have her first pizza – Grumpa helped her make it.  It had steak, bell peppers, and tomatoes for the toppings and the crust was made without any eggs,

“Boo!” says Boo

Adela hopes everyone had a Happy Halloween!  She had a ghost costume, but chose not to wear it.  She did wear her pretty Halloween shirt though.  We went to see Gramma and Grumpa in Burlington and had a good afternoon.  Adela didn’t go trick or treating this year but enjoyed handing out a few candies

Barbecue Thank You

The barbecue fundraiser at Reelsboro United Methodist Church went very well today.  Ali and I would like to thank everyone who participated — those who purchased plates, those who helped prepare and deliver plates, and those who made donations.  The proceeds will help offset the costs of Adela’s hospitalization earlier this year and her continued

At Nana and Granddaddy’s

We drove this afternoon to New Bern to visit Nana and Granddaddy for the weekend.  Tomorrow is the big pig-pickin’ they have planned.  It is suppose to help Mommy and Daddy with some of the bills.  Hopefully it will all go well.
