Here is Holdyn with her favorite outfit on.  Seriously, I hope she grows out of this soon!  She wants to wear this shirt and sweatpants EVERYDAY!  I will get her up and dressed and next thing I know she'll be coming out of her room with these on.  She'll dig them out of the dirty laundry basket.  When I can get them away from her long enough to wash them, she is standing by the drier naked waiting for them to finish so she can put them back on.  We've even hidden them from her for a couple of days at a time to make her wear other clothes! She's pretty obsessed.
Here is Holdyn at her cousin's birthday party in Page, AZ.  She has been lucky enough to be around for quite a few birthday parties and she is now singing "Happy Birthday" every chance she gets.  I think she is hoping that by singing the song she'll get candy or ice cream for someone's birthday.
Here she is with her bestest friends, Emma and McKenzie.  She's actually been crying all morning to go to "Emma's house!" 
While we were in Page, AZ we went to a little park. It was full of HS stoners when we got there but we still had a fun time.

Here is Nolan playing at the park on their back hoe.  Holdyn is fascinated with anything that digs in the dirt.
Little Kimber has been up and down since we moved back from St. Maarten.  She's had a lot of blood work done the last couple of weeks and hasn't been feeling too well at all.  We were told it might be something as serious as liver problems, bone marrow problems, viral infections. Anyway, we did get into a specialist last week and he thinks it is just a bad allergy.  We are hoping so.  We made some changes but they haven't seemed to be helping much yet. 


Ben also passed the USMLE Step 1 and we are moving to Bakersfield, CA in June to do his clinical rotations.  Since we have 6 months to fill, we are going to move to So. Cal for 6 weeks for a Psyche rotation and we are trying to set up his family practice rotation in Payson, AZ before we move to Bakersfield.

Hey Jill- I'm just getting caught up on your blog. My baby has had a ton of allergies to almost everything I was eating. I kept eliminating things, but she was still miserable and sick-like for weeks and weeks. We finally put her on this formula by Similac called Alimentum, ready-to-feed. She is SOO much better. The formula is the only one on the market that doesn't have corn in it, which must have been one of her allergies, because she is doing so much better. It's also for babies with milk/soy allergies, so maybe give it a try and see how she does. I hope it might help.
