Hey! I'm back!
Took long enough, didn't it? I barely manage to get my kids bathed, dressed and out the door, and then get myself to work to prosecute all the criminals out there, so let's just say blogging has been at the bottom of the list. I'm sorry! As Mary Carole said, it's a travesty that my kids stopped growing in February. : ) But, here they are, still growing MC.
We had a little incident involving David's truck last week. It was totaled sitting parked in front of our office! A lady was driving too fast down the street and we're still not sure what happened..she says a car was coming from the other direction in her lane...anyway, she hit David's truck (the brown one) and knocked it into the vehicle parked beside it (the green Explorer). David's truck ended up "parked" straight, but the spaces in front of our office are in fact slanted. Check out how close the truck came to rest from our front glass.
In other news, I took Seth to see a pediatric allergist on Friday. They tested him for food allergies, and confirmed what I've known all along. He indeed has some: milk, eggs, peanuts, and (oddly) pork. Makes that first birthday cake a challenge, huh? I found a recipe just a minute ago on the Food Allergy and Anaphalyxsis Network website. So, we're good to go. He has to have an epi-pen with him wherever he goes. I just got that prescription filled, and let's just say those things are expensive! And insurance does not cover them apparently. But, small price to pay if it could save his life at some point.
A few more pictures, for good measure, since we've been MIA for so long....

Whoa! Almost two months!
Do I still have any readers?? Well, if so, I don't have any pictures to post, as I am on the computer at my office, but I do have updates:
Adeline: Talks A LOT, about everything. She'll even ask you, "What am I doing?", just to get a response from you/start a conversation. We are still working on potty training, but she's not the least bit cooperative. She's obsessed with Seth. Has to know where he is at all times. I had to take them to two different sitters one day last week (because Adeline was sick) and she was so upset that Seth wasn't going to be there with her. After I dropped him off, she asked, "Where did Seth go?" and when I told her she said, "I want him back!". She can count to 20 and has learned to identify several shapes (triangle, square, etc.) She's been sleeping in her own bed, in her own room, since we moved. And she's into "pretending," this morning Seth was "Ken" and she was "Barbie." She dictates a new role for me or David or Seth every day. The most interesting character always being her of course.
Seth: He started eating solid food this week. Because he seems as if he's going to have serious allergies, I had tried to postpone it as long as possible, but he's 20 lbs. or better and has started pulling food off my plate. We've tried rice cereal, pears and prunes (yuck). Yesterday morning he was eating prunes and Adeline was interrogating me about the whole process. She knows it's baby food, but this was extra interesting, because she said, "That's baby food? It looks like chocolate...to me." We convinced her that Seth was not getting chocolate pudding for breakfast, (while she was having to eat eggs), and offered to let her try some if she wanted. She sniffed the stuff, then declined. I just moved Seth up to size 4 diapers. Adeline is only in a size 5. We are still working on being able to roll from back to front. I'm told boys hit the milestones later than girls, and that's proving to be true so far. Though he is a really smiley little guy, so much more so than Adeline was at this age. If you even look his direction, you get a big, open-mouth grin.
David and I are going to Nashville this weekend for an engagement party, I guess that's the proper term, for his friend Sam. I think this will be the first time I've been away from both of them since Seth was born. My mom and Aunt Hazel will be on baby duty all weekend. Say a prayer for them!

Oh my goodness!
(That's one of Adeline's new favorite phrases) and I didn't realize my last post was at the end of October. Needless to say, we are all moved, and we don't yet have internet access. So, bear with us for the next month or so. I promise regular posts again after the beginning of the year!
