Mother-Daughter Breakfast


This morning, Elizabeth and I attended a mommy-daughter breakfast held at our church. The breakfast was organized by the Activity Days leaders. Elizabeth and I arrived promptly at 9:00am and had a great time visiting with all of the Activity Days girls and their moms. The tables were beautifully decorated with handmade paper flowers created by the girls as a gift for each of the moms. 


We enjoyed yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit, and muffins; as well as, chocolate milk, milk, and orange juice. The food was delicious and the company was delightful. We had such a great time visiting with the girls and ladies from our neighborhood. I am so grateful that we are surrounded by such amazing women and that Elizabeth has such great friends.

Elizabeth did an amazing job creating my paper flower. I cannot wait to find the perfect place in my craft room for it. It will add a much needed splash of color to one of my favorite spaces!


After breakfast, we moved aside the tables and gathered together in a circle to play a mother-daughter version of the Newlywed Game. We had a fun time trying to guess each other's answers to questions like: What is your daughter's favorite movie? How old is your mom? What is your daughter's favorite color? It was great to get to know Elizabeth a little better. We had a wonderful time laughing together. I love my Elizabeth so much and I am grateful for the memories that we made together today!

OIT Updose Appointment #14--Dairy


Today, Zachary had another successful up-dose appointment. He was able to up-dose from 10ml of whole milk to 15ml of whole milk. There was a little moment of hesitation when Zachary saw the nurse with 2 syringes full of milk...but after a snuggle from mom and a little pep talk...he swallowed the entire dose in an instant. I am so proud of my little man. He continually amazes me and gives new life to the words "I can do hard things". I don't know anything harder than looking at a syringe full of "potential death" and willingly swallowing it each and every day!


Zachary is the bravest boy I know!
