First Day of School - Work Party - Blake's Allergies

First Day of School 2018
Kyle 9th Grade
Katie 7th Grade
Caleb 4th Grade
Blake Mom School
(Josh said it was wierd to watch everyone leave for school and he got to stay home in his PJs)





I wanted to include this picture because it tells a different story about family life.  
Our upstairs toilet is miserably weak and leaves poopoo in the bowl.  I got sick of taking care of the remnants and embarassed for unsuspecting company who needed to use the bathroom.  We told the kids if they hold the handle down for a minimum of 10 seconds, it will do a complete flush.  A week went by with no change in behavior.  So, I wrote this note on the bathroom mirror.  It mysteriosly disappeared the first day so I wrote it again while they were at school the next day.  That message, too, got erased very quickly.  However, now the #2 problem usually only happens once a week now.  


Jeff's brokerage hosted a summer picnic for all the realtors.  They had a delicious BBQ and fun for the kids.  





 We noticed Blake was having a lot of symptoms like Josh and Kyle did when they were young.  I took him to an allergist for testing.  Just like his brothers, he is allergic to a handful of things.  His are identical to Kyle.  All grass pollen, cats, weeds, a few trees, and mildly to dogs. 

His back looks painful but it is a simple test with a very small prick with the allergen.  He was a trooper and loved showing the marker numbers to everyone for weeks.
