Christmas in the Air

We are gearing up for Christmas! The tree is up, the stockings are hung and the front yard decorations are in place.  The boys could not be more in love with all of it!

Thanksgiving to remember

We had more excitement than we had planned for this Thanksgiving. At lunch Brett was snacking on mixed nuts and the boys asked to try some. He broke up pieces of a cashew for them to try. The moment they put them in their mouths they were screaming and clawing at their faces. Hives began to appear and Ethan said "my tongue hurts!!" We packed things up quickly and got them in the car and to the E.R. quickly. They had simultaneous allergic reactions. So scary!

We will be taking them to an allergist to determine the specifics of what they are allergic to. It was so scary to see them react that way and I know they were two very scared little boys. It took the nurse 3 times to get Ethan's IV started, poor guy :( Once they both had meds for a few hours we went home and then Ethan broke out into a ton of huge hives all over his backside, legs, some on his feet and arms and tummy. It took a dose of Benadryl every 4 hours, 6 times to get everything to calm down for him. We think Mason did not ingest as much of the cashews or he just has a lesser reaction to it, but his reaction was still bad as well.

Tati Visit

We had a great visit from Tati! Went to the Cedar Rock Railroad for the first time to ride the train and spent some time showing him what we can do on the new playset!

Waco Zoo Visit

Gabby Love

Ethan loving on Gabby*

*before we knew he was allergic to cats, so this was the last time he was allowed to love on Gabby :(

First "pre-crush"?

At dinner tonight we asked the boys about their day at school and what they did. Ethan said he played trains with Arhaan.
They also talk about their friend Elia a lot, so I asked, "Do you like Elia?" and Ethan said "Yes, Elia cute"
Uh oh...
