Fall is in the air

It actually feels like Fall today in Florida.  It is hard to believe that it is the middle of October and today is the first day it has been under 90 degrees. Mike and I took Avery and Keller to the park this morning and there were people there wearing sweaters.  We of course were in our short sleeves and flip-flops because our blood hasn't thickened in the Florida heat yet : )  I am sure that will come with time!

Things are still going well here in Orlando.  Mike was on Fall break from school this week so it was a nice change of pace.  He had a mid-term last week so he was busy studying.  He is still really enjoying school and the things he is learning.  

We found out this week that Keller has pretty bad allergies.  He has been congested on and off since he was born, so the doctor determined that it was allergies.  We are giving him probiotics and vitamin D every day.  She also recommended that I cut back on dairy and Gluten.  My mom has Celiac disease, and I have often said I would never make it if I were diagnosed.  It has been one week and I still don't know how long I could make it.  I sit here at night and wonder what you eat for a late night snack if cereal isn't an option.  I still don't have a good answer.  It is worth it though. Keller is doing much better and hasn't even needed the humidifier this week.

His gummy little grin will steal your heart.  Now that we are figuring him out a little, we have decided he is the happiest baby ever.  He keeps the best little grin on his face.  He is so much fun.

Last Sunday my parents came down for Avery and Keller's baptism.  It was such a sweet time for our family.  Tears streamed down my face as our children were walked  around the church. The congregation sang "Amazing Grace," and welcomed Avery and Keller into the covenant family.  Mike and I felt like we were finally a part of a church family again.  It has been such a blessing to be welcomed with open arms at City Church.



Already has his favorite team.  Go Citadel Bulldogs!
Avery is still doing great with Keller.  She really enjoys being a big sister.  She still never ceases to amaze me.  We have decided that she is going to be an artist when she grows up. She loves coloring and has gotten great at staying the lines.  She also created a nice mural on her wall with stickers last week.  I went in to check on her around 9:30 thinking she would be hard and fast asleep, and I catch her putting stickers all over the wall beside her bed.  Let's hope she can put all of this creative energy into something productive.
