Family

We headed up to New York for the Memorial Day weekend. As always, we enjoyed our time spent with family.  Will and Leah loved seeing all of their cousins and loved all the extra attention they got!:)

Leah was obsessed with my sister's pet bunny and even took him for a walk on a leash:)

My sister Amy and Mary with Will~they fight over who is the favorite aunt:)

Leah and cousin Erica~how I wish she lived closer to babysit! She was awesome with the kids and spent every minute with them!

Will LOVED playing lacrosse with his cousins Mason and Luke

Preschool

Will's last day of preschool for the year was this past Thursday.  They had a "movie day" for the last day. Each student made a car to watch the movie in~it was really cute! Leah and I brought pizza in for their lunch.  Will had a great year with his two teachers Ms. Kathy and Ms. Kathryn and we look forward to Leah hopefully having them next year!:)

Peanut Desensitization

Will has officially completed all of the peanut desensitization increases.  He made it to 8 peanuts, which is 2400 mgs. of peanut flour!  He will now be on a year of maintence, eating this dose every day for the next year. Then, next May, they will take him off of it for a few weeks and do a food challenge with peanuts~so scary, yet so exciting!  This has been a long road, a road I know some people probably thought we were crazy to take~it is very time consuming and a lot of work, but it has helped Will already to have a more "normal" life.  I am so glad we have done this for him and I am so hopeful it will work!:)

This is what 2400 mgs. of peanut flour looks like!

Will and his cool new bug catcher for doing such an awesome job:)

THREE!!!

My baby girl is three. I just can't believe it!  She is such a little lady already!  Leah has a very strong personality and is very independent.  She loves to do things herself  and is very strong willed:)
She also has a great imagination and is very caring and loving.  Leah loves to play dress up and loves to look like a princess:)  She also loves to ride her bike, play with her doll house, and to spend time wtih Will!
