Grandpa Stu

We went to Seneca Falls to celebrate the life of Grandpa Stu who passed away on May 20. The service had standing room only and was a beautiful tribute to his life. He touched many lives and will be missed by all.

Taking a quick nap with Grammy before the service.

Checking out Rob's original Big Wheel at Grandma's house.

The Cayuga Lake Creamery - a regular stop of the way home. The BEST ice cream and now a new train, just when we thought it couldn't get any better.

We hosted a playdate with Riley, Jack, and birthday girl Madeleine a week earlier. The cupcakes disappeared quickly.Water table fun for all, except Jack who is making a run for it.

Best buddies waiting for Daddy to come home - the highlight of both their days.

"Helping"Fox and deer in our backyard. The deer I'm okay with, the fox...not so much.

Peanut Problems

Holden vs. the Peanut

This is how he looked when he woke up from his nap after having PB&J for lunch. By the time we got to Urgent Care, he had hives all over his torso, too. Testing by the Allergist confirmed his peanut allergy but he tested negative for almond, walnut, pecan, and cashew. He'll get tested again in 2 years. Until then, an epipen goes everywhere he does just in case.
Chowing down on McDonalds. He can still have fast food even if cooked in peanut oil - whew, he won't have to give up his Happy Meal date with Grammy.


A toddler's idea of putting away the laundry.

In other news, Holden is now officially enrolled in Mother's Day Out at our church (a peanut-free school) starting in September. He'll be in the 2 year old class and go on Tuesdays from 9:30-1pm. Everyone says my tears will dry up as soon as I pull out of the parking lot and realize I have 3.5 hours completely to myself. I'm excited - it'll be good for both of us!
