Busy week!

This has been such a crazy week! The move last Saturday went really well. We had most of our family and Bible Study helping. I was amazed by how much stuff we have and that we filled a huge moving truck. The kids even helped us move!! We will be unpacking boxes forever!! Thanks again to everyone who helped out!!!




Saturday night, while we were eating dinner, we discovered that Chloe had broken out in hives. They were these huge red and white blotches that seemed to take over her body. We called the advice nurse and took her in to Kaiser ER on Saturday night. We saw the world's worst doctor and left without any information, other than the theory that Chloe was allergic to something. Cousin Bekah and my friend Rana were much more helpful in advising us about how to treat allergies. After two days of Benadryl, the hives cleared up and she has been hive-free since Wednesday! I had cut dairy out , as we thought she might have a dairy allergy, but drank some milk this morning, and so far, no hives!!! We are praying that the hives were just a random breakout and that she does not have any food allergies.


The day after we moved, we had Chloe dedicated at church. Luckily, she was hive-free that morning and was in a really good mood. Andrew shared with the church a little bit about Chloe--about how social she is and cries when she thinks she is all alone. Pastor Eric prayed for Chloe and the children's director gave Chloe a PURPLE children's Bible! I don't think that Marisa knew that purple is my favorite color, but she chose well!!

In other Chloe news, she has learned how to suck on her toes!! It is so cute. As soon as she is on her back on the changing table or her play mat, she grabs her foot and the toes go in her mouth. She is getting so strong and is grabbing at toys, my hair, or whatever she can.
