Name Poll

Well, we have been discussing names for little BG #2, and we have narrowed it down to two choices:
Evelyn - we would probably call her Evie for a nickname
Lucy - we didn't really like any of the longer forms as much, so it would just be Lucy

Please vote on our poll (on the right side of the blog) and let us know what you think!

Appointment with the Allergist

Nora had her appointment with the allergist today. She got skin testing done on her back for peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, fish, shell fish, cats and dogs. Out of those, the peanut (surprise, surprise) and egg came back positive. She also got blood taken for the blood allergy tests, and we will get the results from those back after the holidays. Poor little Nora was a good sport though it all. The egg allergy is not as severe, and about 70% of kids outgrow it, they said. Peanut allergies on the other hand are rarely outgrown (about 20%). We are still learning a lot about food allergies and how to keep Nora safe. Sadie (and the rest of us) are glad that she didn't test positive to cats!

Our Little Fluffy Puff

I realized it had been a while since we posted about Sadie, so I thought I would post this picture. Sadie has been a good sport with all the craziness of the past few months. She has learned how to jump over the gate that we put up at the bottom of the stairs. I think it probably is good for her weight loss program. Anyway, we love our kitty! 

This is our other pet. It got off to a little bit of a rough start when Nora picked off some of the seeds and early sprouts, but it seems to have recovered and is doing quite nicely.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia!

Nora's Christmas Pictures

Nora went to get her Christmas pictures taken last Monday. She was in a really good mood, and I think the pictures are really cute. I guess getting your picture taken isn't quite as scary if Santa's not there. Hehe.

Thanksgiving

Here are some pictures from our Thanksgiving in Arizona.
