Needing comfort after a rough day

Tatum found out today why she has been feeling AWFUL almost daily. We cut out all the potential allergens and to no alas…no change. No dairy, gluten, eggs….still, major nausea, cramping, fatigue.

We opted to see Dr. Katz for a food test and alas we found some major culprits that I feed her daily! And that are in so many foods.

And the verdict???? Vanilla, Lemon, Potatoes, Gluten, Avocados, Oats, Eggs, Cauliflower, Carrots…..many of her favs..and they are hiding in so many foods!

So after I threw out half our frig and pantry, we snuggled with Coopy on the bed. He was so sweet.

Coopy cheers us up!

And so…Sprouts tomorrow to find many alternative and to make many new ideas!!
It will be awesome!
Right Coopy?

Robotics with her guys!

Her two favorite boys from PVCP, and they will always be her favorites. Liam and Hayden.

I signed her up to Robotics Camp with them, and they are having so much fun!

I wonder if they are learning to build any robots?

Actually she is programming a robot!

It went on its own and turned as it was supposed to based on her program. WOW!
Liam is having fun too…he made this contraption in the 3-D printer

And Tatum this little friend.

It’s turning out to be a great experience.

Two Girls One God…oh and a dog.

We decided to start having a Bible Study together. Matthew! It’s so fun! We are reading and really sharing. We went through the map of Egypt, Nazareth, and Bethlehem.

And…learned so much together. God made himself known in so many dreams; especially to Joseph. He communicates with us so often if we would only listen.

Coopy sure is listening.

And while we were doing this, she had her kids on….SCREENS!! EEK!

But I guess Bluey is OK!

So much fun with my Tot. Amen.

Our family expands! REBORN!

Tatum is FASCINATED with babies. Really any children. She LOVES being a mom! It’s all she thinks about. She cannot wait to have her own.

Today, she purchased a baby called a “reborn” which is a silicone doll that looks exactly like a real baby. He is to “born” in a couple weeks. She is feigning pregnancy, and we’ll have a party!

Levi Andrew…Andrew Levi…Simon. Not sure yet.

In the meantime, she is adopting out all of her kids since she is the owner of a foster care home …wink wink….to get ready for the new bundle.

Today, it’s ASHTON!

He’s enjoying breakfast


PARTY!

Coopy wants some…

Her ability to imagine and then carry it out is unbelievable. I’m fascinated by her and her ideas. I also love to see her nurturing heart in all of this. I do believe she is really maturing through this. She even comments that she is learning RESPONSIBILITY.

Let’s see how this plays out. In the meantime, I’m enjoying the ride. I love her HEART!

My Tot. My beautiful Tot. New book ideas!

Isn’t she? This kid is a whirlwind of creativity, spunk, and fun.

She’s growing up so fast. In fact, she’s enjoying being a MOM!

Yes, she bought a bouncy for Ocean and Penny. Amazing, isn’t it? She even transformed the living room into a play area.

Well, anyhoo….She’s a lot of fun. Now, guess what? We are working on our SIXTH BOOK! Stay tuned for details. Here we are planning it out.

And making funny faces.

Yes, we do enjoy our time. Even when we don’t feel our best. Coopy, thank goodness, watches the kids when this happens.

Meanwhile, we just keep breathing, being grateful, and making the best of it.

I love you sweet girl. TRULY.

I love her drawings!

Firs, I love the emotions. I love each has a name, and they all have a million details. Oh, Rio did an obstacle course while she drew. A win win.
