Super WHY!

I took the kids out to the local library for a meet & greet with character's from the PBS show Super WHY! Marnina was really excited because it was "just like Disney World" (i.e. meeting the characters). Can you tell that she has Disney on the brain - even four months after our trip??




And here's one more of our adorable boy. He's growing so fast! You can be praying that we'll find out what's causing his eczema flare ups. We're slathering him in Aquaphor 5+ times a day to keep his skin moisturized. The pediatrician switched him from Enfamil Gentlease to Similac Alimentum, suggesting he might have a milk allergy. The Alimentum is the most expensive formula on the market with no generic available. If this does work, obviously we'll stay on it because it's what he needs, but it will triple what we're spending on formula for the next 9 months. Pray that we'll find the best way to keep him healthy.



He is such a happy baby, though. Marnina loves being a big sister. And I'm loving being their mom.

Marnina's Day Out

We took Marnina out on the town in May for a special treat. The local auditorium was showing Nick Jr. LIVE - Ni Hao Kai-Lan, Wonder Pets, Backyardigans, and Dora - all in one show! We bought the tickets back in January (before we knew about Elijah). Matt's mom was able to watch Elijah for us while Marnina had Mama & Daddy's undivided attention for the first time in 3 months. She has done really well adjusting to being a big sister and sharing the limelight, but I know she enjoyed being the only one for a few hours.









Marnina just LOVED the show...she kept talking about how it was just like "Disney World" and wanted to ride some rides now. Ha!
