I’m giving up ALL dairy food for the next two weeks. Ellie has excema on her arms (inside the elbows) and that is often caused by food allergies – and since the only food she gets right now is breastmilk that means its something I’m eating. Dairy is the most likely [...]
So, I’m making the kids a book at Clark Color Labs using their Memory Book option. Its a book called “Who Loves Killy and Ellie?” and has pictures of all of our close family members (Killy, Ellie, me, David, Erin, Katie, Trav, Carina, and all the grandparents and great-grandparents).

And, I immediately said, “Killian! No drawing on yourself! We only draw on paper!” And here was his [...]
Don’t you just love it when your kid surprises you?
