WooHoo!!!!

EMORY PASSED HER CORN CHALLENGE TODAY!!!!!!!!!!


Okay, so I started this post about a month ago. Our computer won't let me upload pictures from my SD and I can't find the cable that came with my camera. We've done so much since then that it will probably take several posts to catch up. The biggest thing for us is the update in her allergies. We have successfully added corn back into her diet. I'm still smiling over this one. We are currently only avoiding tree nuts. That's easy, people understand TN allergies. Foods are labeled well for nuts.
We went out for her first kids meal the day she passed her test and she loved it! All of this happened just in time for Halloween. The only candy she had ever gotten to try were lollipops from Yummy Earth and they are not very sweet. After trick or treating we let her have some smarties and nerds. She was so excited! You can't imagine how much this has changed our lives!

Firefighter Emory


We took a tour of the fire station this morning with our mom's club.

The station is just a couple blocks from our house so Miss Christa, Noah and Eli met us at home and walked over with us. We met 9 firemen and 2 EMTs in all and they were very friendly and welcoming. Can you imagine letting 15 kids, most under the age of 3, run around in your house. They let the kids play in the fire truck, try on helmets and boots and take turns with one of the hoses. Of course, Emory played shy and wouldn't get in the truck or try on the hat or boots. We had a wonderful time and they said we could come by to visit anytime.
