So, what, we’re already going on 3 months of 2009? January flew by without much of a fuss. February was a big birthday month for us; Kevin, myself, Hannah, Joel, Aunt Joan and Aric all have birthdays in Feb. We had a collective party, but mostly for Joel, at the Riverside Railroad Park where they have some hobbiests who have small ride on trains where the kids (adults too) can ride for free or Donation.
Stacy and I took a weekend off, away from the kids, and went to Big Bear to just be away together. We had a wonderful and relaxing time. In fact we had too much fun to bother taking pictures so, sorry, we don’t have any.
Bailey, we have discovered through the allergy elimination diet, is allergic to something in Albertsons Wheat Bread (We’re thinking, and almost sure it’s Wheat Gluten). The good news is we found something, YAY! The bad news is that there may be more and we have to first give Bailey steroids to get rid of the blisters, and then let the steroids dissapate before resuming the elimination diet. In a few weeks we can start adding things one at a time (no wheat gluten though). Then if all goes well and everything except wheat gluten is back in his diet, we can give him some for a couple of days to confirm that is indeed the problem.
Branden is playing Little League again this year, and is on the Majors Padres team for the Wildomar Little League. There are 3 Majors teams in this league and they have to play teams from two other leagues. The Padres are 0-2 so far with sadly lobsided losses. We’re all hoping for improvement 😆
I signed up for a Facebook account and have gotten touch with quite a few long lost friends, some from Avalon Schools and some from Irvine, as well as some we haven’t lost touch with. I’m enjoying seeing news from these people on a daily basis.
Happy March all. Spring is nearly here and soon it’ll be hotter than we like, but between then and now we should enjoy the great weather.
