Sea of Green Life

October 25, AnnaBelle is 2 and 3/4's and finally has enough hair for a hair cut. She was starting the mullet in the back so our hair stylist Jeff trimmed and blended. Genevieve got a trim too and yes that is our door in the background, he comes to us. In other news, AnnaBelle still can't have even small amounts of milk or things that contain milk. She is on the almond milk but we are working on changing that. You see the thing is, Sara is now allergic to almonds. Yes I know...I had a glass of AnnaBelle's chocolate milk, quite good from what I remember. But this time it tasted like a tin can. My favorite granola all of a sudden gave me hives. A muffin made with almond milk made me feel like coconut, my world was spinning. So we're going to have to start cooking with a different kind of milk-again. The plan is and was before to go to Allergy Associates, a clinic place in Madison for testing around Thanksgiving. I can't keep up with all the new things. Otherwise Elois

Three beautiful girls! Everyone keeps asking if we were hoping for a boy, we honestly didn't care. Sticking with girls simplifies things, we already adjusted to behaviors and clothes. I was hoping for a girl, but just because I like our girl name better than our boy name, Elliot Allen. Can't say three wonderful children, because thier all normal. Genevieve wants to play without her sister, AnnaBelle has a cold and is grumpy, crying and fit throwing, and Eloise won't sleep in her own bed at night, just ours. So the choice is up every hour or have her next to me and get 3 hours stretches. I'm still pretty relaxed on maternity leave and have no desires to return yet. But I'm also asleep a lot of the day. Which is making me fall behind on the things I need to do. So off I go....

This is definately going to be our production kind of kid. The IV was started at noon and she arrived at 10:59 and about 2 hours of pushing. Maybe more maybe less, I for one was not counting. She weighs 8.5lbs is 22inches long OH and her name is not Twinkle Toes! It is Eloise Irene Silence! My Great great aunts Eloise and Irene were the two that started Koeneke Shoredge in Lutsen. Otherwise, I haven't eaten since breakfast so Gid went to go get us Perkins at 12:20 am. Eloise is getting her first bath in the nursery. I can't wait to eat and then sleep!
